UNIX only. The user ID under which all processes will be started by the ssa_starter daemon. It is usually important to set this parameter, since the default is the root user, which can cause problems. For example, if a process running as root creates a file, only another root process can access that file.

The level of detail for the messages written to the log files. The following are the possible options:

0 : Includes all error messages and the most important messages
1 : Level 0 plus more detailed messages
2 : Level 1 plus system trace information

Default is 2.

These 10 optional parameters (EXE0, EXE1, EXE2, ..., EXE9) refer to custom commands, scripts, or executables that will run in conjunction with Data Vault Service on startup. Note that the numbering of the parameters has no relationship to the order in which they are processed. These parameters are run asynchronously, so there is no guarantee about the execution order.
