Configuring RDF
for a process, and then add the particular object. Notice that the only purpose of the
configuration memory table is to serve as a temporary repository of configuration
options for the SET command.
Initially, some of the configuration options in the memory table are set to their default
values. You use SET commands only for those options that you want to change from
the default value.
Before issuing the ADD commands, you can verify the current option values in the
memory table by issuing SHOW commands.
After issuing the ADD commands (but before starting RDF), you can change some
parameter values in the configuration file by issuing ALTER commands.
Setting Global Parameters
The SET RDF command establishes values for global parameters that apply either to
the entire RDF system or to all updater processes. These parameters and their default
values are:
Note. Instead of issuing SET and ADD commands interactively within an RDFCOM session,
you can create and execute an RDF configuration command file. The first time you configure
RDF, you can either configure it interactively or use the text editor to create a command file.
After you have configured RDF, you can easily create a command file from the existing
configuration file as explained under Creating a Configuration Command File later in this
section. You can then use that command file whenever you need to reconfigure RDF. Refer to
Appendix B, Additional Reference Information
for a sample configuration file.
