Starting the multi-user server or broker
Starting OpenEdge in Windows
Before you can run multi-user Progress, you must start the multi-user server process.
The server process coordinates all the database requests from all the users using a
single database. You can use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to start
the multi-user server process, or you can use the command-line interface. The sections
that follow describe these methods of starting the multi-user server process.
Using OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to start the multi-user
server process
You can use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to start a multi-user
server process.
Start OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer and establish a connection to
one or more AdminServers. See Chapter 10, “Configuration,” for more information
about starting OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, and see the OpenEdge
Management or OpenEdge Explorer online help for detailed instructions on using
OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to start a multi-user server process.
Using the command line interface to start the multi-user server process
Enter the following command at the command line to start the multi-user server
process:
proserve db-name [ parameters ]
db-name
