Specifying options

The Configuration tab of the Service property sheet provides a Parameters text box for specifying options for a service. Do not type the name of the program executable in this box.

Examples

To start a network server service running two databases, with a cache size of 20 Mb, and with a name of my_server, you would type the following in the Parameters box:
```
-c 20M
-n my_server
c:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\db_1.db
c:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\db_2.db
```
To start a SQL Remote Message Agent service, connecting to the sample database as user ID DBA, you would type the following:
```
-c "uid=DBA;pwd=SQL;dbn=asademo"
```

The following figure illustrates a sample property sheet.

The options for a service are the same as those for the executable. For a full description of the options for each program, see The Database Server.
