Commands for updating and displaying configurations for Classic data servers

When you add a service with the ADD command, you add the service to the configuration for the Classic data server. Adding the service does not automatically start the service. A service starts automatically during the next startup of the Classic data server if the value of the INITIALTHREADS configuration parameter is set to a value of 1 or greater. Otherwise, if you do not restart the Classic data server, you must issue a START,SERVICE command to start the service.

After a service is added, you cannot update the name of the service. To change a service name, you must delete the existing service and then add a new service with the new service name.

Basic validation occurs when you modify configuration parameters with the SET command. These validations are limited to general parameter data type and numeric range checks. The individual services validate specific configuration parameters to verify parameter content and relationships during service startup.

In addition to services configurations, you can add and modify service lists. A service list is a type of parameter that represents list values.

You use the ADD, SET, and DELETE commands to maintain these parameters.

To update a service list entry, you must delete the existing entry and then add a new entry.
