OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Connecting the DataServer
Starting a local DataServer
6–2
This section describes how to start a local DataServer for MS SQL Server from the startup
command.
Starting the OpenEdge client starts the local DataServer. You include information about the
ODBC data source, user ID, and password in the startup command.
To start the client:
1. Make sure that your ODBC drivers are installed and configured properly.
2. Start your MS SQL Server database.
3. Set any environment variables required for your configuration as described in the relevant
section of Chapter 5, “Configuring the DataServer” (for example, DSLOGDIR). You must
set them in the environment from which you are starting the DataServer.
Note: If you change the values of any environment variables, you must shut down the
DataServer processes and restart them.
4. Enter the following command:
prowin32 schema-holder-name -db datasrc-name -dt MSS
-ld mss-logical-db-name -U userID -P password
For example, the following command starts OpenEdge with the local DataServer,
connects a local schema holder named mssholder in single-user mode, and connects the
MS SQL Server demo data source with the user bob whose password is bobpass:
prowin32 -1 mssholder -db demo -dt MSS -ld demo -U bob -P bobpass
