Setting resources

Resources are more static than environment variables and cannot be defined by end users.

This table shows the files where administrators can set resources:

File Description
${BSE}/lib/defaults/bootstrap This file is read early in the startup of the bshell. It can be used to set resources that must be set before a communication with the user can even begin. For example, when all such communication, even error messages about the initialization process, must be encrypted. See the fips_140_mode and ssl resources.
${BSE}/lib/user/u<user> The user file of a specific user. Administrators can edit this file to set resources for a user.
Note: Resource settings that were added manually are lost when the user data is converted to runtime.
${BSE}/lib/defaults/<binary> This is for internal use by Infor only.

For example, resources for the bshell executable can be set in the ${BSE}/lib/defaults/bshell6.2 file.

${BSE}/lib/defaults/db_resource This file is used to set database driver related resources, such as bdb_max_session_schedule and bdbreconfig_parallel.
${BSE}/lib/defaults/all This file is used to set remaining global resources.

To set a resource in the mentioned files, use this syntax:

<resource name>:<value>

For example:

use_shm_info:0
Note: To overrule a resource, users can use the corresponding environment variable in their LN UI/Web UI user profile or BW configuration.
