Database parameters
The following table lists the startup parameters that you can set from the HPE Service Manager server's operating system command prompt or from the Service Manager initialization file (sm.ini).
These parameters determine how the Service Manager server manages the RDBMS database systems.

| Startup parameter: allowunsupporteddbversion | Specifies whether the unsupported versions of the Oracle database are allowed when Service Manager connects to the database server |
| SQL parameters:[db2universal] | Creates a section header in the initialization file for information about an IBM DB2 Universal database. |
| SQL parameters: [db2universal_replicate] | Creates a section header in the initialization file for information about a replicated IBM DB2 Universal database. |
| Parameter: dbcachequery | Creates a cache for a comma separated list of table names. |
| generateIndexDDL | Generates the DDL of indexes and constraints for your database in a DDL file: <Server installation directory>/RUN/ddls/index.ddl. |
| SQL parameters: [oracle] | Creates a section header in the initialization file for connection parameters to an Oracle database |
| SQL parameters: [oracle_replicate] | Creates a section header in the initialization file for connection parameters to a replicated Oracle database |
| SQL parameters:[sqlserver] | Creates a section header in the initialization file for connection parameters to a Microsoft SQL Server database |
| SQL parameters: [sqlserver_replicate] | Creates a section header in the initialization file for connection parameters to a replicated Microsoft SQL Server database |
