3. AD Utilities: Flags

flag	Description
hidepw (by default)	(Starting 11.5.9; before this version the password was inserted by default => a security risk) The password IS NOT showed in the log files.
nohidepw	(Starting 11.5.9) The password IS showed in the log files.
logging (by default in AutoConfig)	Uses LOGGING option when indexes are created. NOTE: LOGGING mode slow down the performance of the database, but makes the indexes recoverable after a database media recovery and also needed if a standbay database is configured.
