Specifying the network type (-N)
Each OpenEdge executable has a default network type determined by the operating
system on which it runs. Table 66 lists the default network type that Progress uses on
each supported operating system.
Network addressing (-S and -H)
In all network environments, you use the Service Name (-S) startup parameter to assign
a name to an OpenEdge broker/server. You then address this broker/server from a
remote client by using the same value for -S as a startup or database connection
parameter. Depending on your network type, you might also have to specify additional
addressing criteria for remote OpenEdge clients. In terms of OpenEdge addressing,
the TCP protocol uses host addressing.
