Configuring a remote <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong><br />

For details about the database connection parameters noted in each example in Step 3 of<br />

this procedure, see the “Connecting a schema holder at startup” section on page 6–9.<br />

Caution: Do not simultaneously run some <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>s <strong>for</strong> MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> under brokers with<br />

controlling Name<strong>Server</strong>s and others directly under brokers (that is, without<br />

controlling Name<strong>Server</strong>s). This defeats the purpose of using a Name<strong>Server</strong> to control<br />

brokers. If you do this, the benefits of the Name<strong>Server</strong> are lost and load balancing is<br />

ineffective. Progress Software Corporation (PSC) recommends that you always use<br />

a Name<strong>Server</strong>, with one exception: you can choose initially to connect directly to a<br />

broker to simplify confirming an initial connection. Once you establish a connection,<br />

PSC recommends that you reintroduce the Name<strong>Server</strong> into your configuration.<br />

Once you have completely set up your environment, you can build the schema holder <strong>for</strong> your<br />

MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database. See the “Creating a schema holder” section on page 5–15 <strong>for</strong><br />

instructions.<br />

Configuring from the command line<br />

You can configure a remote <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> broker process from the command line. You can use the<br />

_probrkr.exe executable or use the mssman.bat Progress Explorer utility, the command line<br />

equivalent of using the Progress Explorer.<br />

Be<strong>for</strong>e you start the configuration tasks, make sure that you have installed your ODBC software<br />

and any data source-specific client software on your host machine. Also make sure that you<br />

have registered all of your data sources. See the “Configuring an ODBC driver and registering<br />

the data source” section on page 5–4 <strong>for</strong> details.<br />

To configure from the command line:<br />

• When using the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> broker (_probrkr.exe), you set the environment variables<br />

described in this section from the command line using environment-variable commands at<br />

the DOS shell prompt.<br />

• When using the mssman.bat Progress Explorer utility, set the environment variables<br />

described in this section in the environment section of your broker properties file <strong>for</strong> the<br />

specific broker instance definition.<br />

• You must set your environment variables in the same environment (DOS shell) from<br />

which you plan to run the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>.<br />
