5.3.2.1 Path Names
Table 5–3 lists the path name options.
Table 5–3 Path Name Options
Option Description
directory The working directory of the server specified as an absolute
path. Any nonabsolute path names in the configuration file
are relative to this directory. The default location for most
server output files (such as, TCPIP$BIND_RUN.LOG) is
this directory. If you do not specify a directory, the working
directory defaults to SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]. If you
are configuring a BIND failover environment, the working
directory is defined by the logical TCPIP$BIND_COMMON.
dump-file The path name of the file the server dumps the database to
when it receives a SIGINT signal (TCPIP$BIND_SERVER_
CONTROL.EXE dumpdb). If not specified, the default is
TCPIP$BIND_SERVER_ZONES_DUMP.DB.
memstatistics-file The path name of the file the server writes memory usage
statistics to on exit, if
deallocate-on-exit is yes.
If not specified, the default is TCPIP$BIND_SERVER_
MEMSTATISTICS.LOG.
