OpenEdge Database Startup Parameters

The Good, the Bad, and the Overlooked

Tom Bascom, White Star Software

OpenEdge database startup parameters are at the heart of performance, stability, and manageability—but let’s face it, some should never be used (we’re looking at you, -i and -F), while others are simply misunderstood or often overlooked. This session takes a look at both the well-known and the lesser-known parameters, providing practical insights that go beyond the documentation. We’ll cover old favorites, newer parameters, outdated defaults, and important configuration settings that aren’t technically “parameters” but still have major impact. You will also learn when to be cautious with powerful tools like -diagEvent, how main and secondary brokers differ, and what changes (as well as what doesn't change) when you modify parameters online with proutil increaseto or _dbParams. Whether you’re tuning an existing system or configuring a new one, this session will help you make informed decisions—and avoid common pitfalls.
