Database Administration Installation Guide
Setting the Home Directory (BMC_HOME) from patroldb
To reset BMC_HOME when starting the server, type the following
command at the system prompt:
patroldb -H home_directory start
The variable home_directory is the path to the following components of
the Database Administration server:
• runtime libraries
• executable files
• server scripts and templates
• configuration files
If you do not specify this option, home_directory defaults to the value of
BMC_HOME environment variable.
Example
patroldb -H /usr/bmc/PDBAdmin/hpux/3.0 start
Setting the Local Directory (BMC_LOCAL) from patroldb
To set or reset BMC_LOCAL when starting the server, type the
following command at the system prompt:
patroldb -L local_directory start
The variable local_directory is the fully qualified path to the
scheduler-generated persistent files and job directories. If you do not
specify this option, BMC_LOCAL defaults to the current directory from
which you started
patroldb. If BMC_LOCAL is already set (and this
option is not specified),
patroldb uses the BMC_LOCAL value.
Example
patroldb -L /usr/bmc/PDBAdmin/hpux/3.0/jobs start
