You display the value of one or several configuration parameters of the Database Manager. You can use options to limit the display.
The values of the configuration parameters are stored in three different configuration files:
· a database-specific configuration file
· a software version-specific configuration file
· a database computer-specific configuration file
The parameter values in the database-specific configuration file override the values in the software version-specific configuration file. This, in turn, overrides the values of the database computer-specific configuration file.
Therefore, note that the values shown for the configuration parameter in the Database Manager can be overridden by other values so that they do not represent the current values being used.
You have the server authorization InstallMgm.

Logging on to the Database Manager CLI as the operator OLEG using the password MONDAY, connecting to the database instance DEMODB, displaying the configuration parameter value of the automatic log backup function (this function can only have the value 0 or 1):
>dbmcli -u OLEG,MONDAY -d DEMODB dbm_configget AUTOSAVE
The system searches in all configuration files. They contain the currently used value that was determined according to the above rule:
OK
0
If you additionally specify that only the software version-specific configuration file is to be searched, you may receive a different value for the same parameter, namely the value stored in this file. However, if this parameter is also stored in the database-specific configuration file, its value overrides the one displayed here.
>dbmcli -u OLEG,MONDAY -d DEMODB dbm_configget INSTALLATION AUTOSAVE
The system only searches through the configuration file that is software version-specific. The parameter is stored there with the value of 1:
OK
