Overview

At some sites, the system operator is allowed to enter overrides for system generation parameters at DC/UCF system startup time. If operators are allowed to enter startup overrides, the operator is prompted for overrides at startup time. The operator can enter overrides only if prompted for them.

Overrides specified by the operator at startup time take precedence over any specification of the same options made in a #DCPARM macro or through an execution parameter. The overrides apply to the DC/UCF system until the next time the DC/UCF system is restarted or until changed dynamically through DCMT commands.

System administrators specify if this capability is available to operators either by specifying a runtime option through an execution parameter or by assembling a #DCPARM macro.

Note: For more information about specifying runtime options and coding a #DCPARM macro, see the CA IDMS System Operations Guide.
