Transparent Gateway for Adabas: Customizing the Initialization Parameter File

The initialization parameter file must be available when the gateway is started. During installation, the following default initialization parameter file is created:

$ORACLE_HOME/tg4adbs/admin/inittg4adbs.ora

Where $ORACLE_HOME is the directory in which the gateway is installed.

If you are not using tg4adbs as the gateway SID, you must rename the initialization parameter file using the SID you chose. This default initialization parameter file is sufficient for starting the gateway, verifying a successful installation, and running the demonstration scripts.

In the initialization parameter file, specify the Adabas connection as follows:

HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="address='host' port='port' workspace='workspace'"

Where:

• host: The name of the host computer
• port: The port number to listen to
• workspace: The Adabas data source workspace name

A number of initialization parameters can be used to modify the gateway behavior. You may want to change the initialization parameter file later to meet system requirements.
