Displaying InterBase Configuration Parameters

Go Up to Displaying Server Properties

Use the ConfigParams option along with the FetchConfigParams or Fetch method to display the parameters and values in the ibconfig file on the server. ConfigParams displays the location of the InterBase executable, the lock file, the message file, and the security database. It also displays the configuration file parameters. You can set ConfigParams to <True> in the Object Inspector, or you can set it in code.

The following code snippet shows how you could display configuration parameters as label captions.

Options := [ConfigParameters];
FetchConfigParams;
Label1.Caption := 'Base File = ' + ConfigParams.BaseLocation;
Label2.Caption := 'Lock File = ' + ConfigParams.LockFileLocation;
Label3.Caption := 'Message File = ' + ConfigParams.MessageFileLocation;
Label4.Caption := 'Security Database = ' + ConfigParams.SecurityDatabaseLocation;

You could also set the ConfigFileData array to display server key values in a Memo component.

var
I: Integer;
st1: string;
.
.
.
for I:= 0 to High(ConfigParams.ConfigFileData.ConfigFileValue) do
begin
case ConfigParams.ConfigFileData.ConfigFileKey[i] of
ISCCFG_IPCMAP_KEY: st1 := 'IPCMAP_KEY';
ISCCFG_LOCKMEM_KEY: st1 := 'LOCKMEM_KEY';
.
.
.
ISCCFG_DUMMY_INTRVL_KEY: st1 := 'DUMMY_INTRVL_KEY';
end;
Memo1.Lines.Add(st1 + ' = ' + IntTostr(ConfigParams.ConfigFileData.ConfigFileValue[i]));
