Running OpenEdge clients and servers on a network
Running OpenEdge clients and servers on a network
After the database is set up on the network, you are ready to run OpenEdge. The
procedure for running clients and servers on a network of systems is similar to the
procedure for running them on a single system. First, you must start all required
database servers and application servers, and then start the client sessions that
connect to them.
Using network startup parameters
To connect network clients, servers, and application servers, you might have to use a
variety of startup parameters to establish and manage network communications
among them. The requirements and use of these parameters vary on different
operating systems and network environments. For more information of using startup
parameters, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration.
Client network parameters
Table 64 lists the parameters used to supply OpenEdge clients with necessary network
information.
Table 64: Client network parameters
Host name 1
Server network parameters
Parameter Syntax
1. For the TCP network type, this required parameter specifies the machine name (address) where the
server runs.
Table 65 lists the parameters used to supply OpenEdge brokers and servers with
necessary network information. In an OpenEdge AppServer configuration, use the
same parameters to pass information to AppServer brokers and application servers.
