ARS_AUTOSTART_INSTANCE parameter

Specifies that the instance will start when you issue the STRTCPSVR SERVER(*ONDMD) INSTANCE(*AUTOSTART) command.

This parameter is initially set to the value of the Autostart instance server (AUTOSTART) parameter on the Create Instance (CRTINSTOND) command when the instance is created. It can be changed if needed.

A value of 1 means YES, autostart this instance server. A value of 0 means NO, do not autostart this instance server.

If you choose not to autostart an instance's server, you can start the server manually.
