Quick Beginnings for DB2 Universal Database for UNIX

Configuration Parameters

Configuration parameters are values that affect the operating characteristics of a database or database management system.

Database manager configuration parameters exist on servers and clients; however, only certain database manager configuration parameters can be set on the client. These parameters are a subset of the database management configuration parameters that can be set on the server.

Database configuration parameters can be set only on the server, or remotely from the Control Center.

For information on setting database or database manager configuration parameters, refer to the Administration Guide.
