Mandatory Startup Options

The following table lists the Configuration Server options for which you must provide values; otherwise, Configuration Server will not start. These options are provided during the installation of Configuration Server and then written to the configuration file.

server	No default value
Configuration Database Section
host	No default value	Used only if dbthread=false, in which case they are mandatory. Refer to Framework 8.1 documentation for descriptions of these options.

dbname	No default value	You must specify a value for this option unless dbengine=oracle.
dbserver	No default value
