Initialize Shared Memory Only

Initialize Shared Memory Only:
 
|--+-----+--+-----+--+-----+------------------------------------|
   '- -p-'  '- -s-'  '- -S-'

Element	Purpose	Key Considerations
-p	Directs oninit not to search for (and delete) temporary tables	Additional Information: If you use this option, the database server returns to online mode more rapidly, but space used by temporary tables left on disk is not reclaimed.
-s	Initializes shared memory and leaves the database server in quiescent mode See Initializing Shared Memory with the -s Option.	Additional Information: The database server should be in offline mode to initialize shared memory. Additional Information: Do not use this flag in combination with the -j flag. Specifying both -j and -s will result in an error.
-S	Starts database server in standard mode; disables HDR	Additional Information: If you use the -S option, the database server starts as a standard server instead of as a primary or as a secondary HDR server. It will leave the database server in quiescent mode and will require a subsequent onmode -m command for multiuser access.

Initializing Shared Memory with No Options

If you execute oninit without options, the database server is left in online mode after shared memory is initialized. For example, the following commands take the database server offline and back online:

onmode -ky 
oninit

Initializing Shared Memory with the -s Option

The -s option initializes shared memory and leaves the database server in quiescent mode.

The following commands shut down and restart the database server in quiescent mode:

onmode -ky
oninit -s
