OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Starting a remote DataServer
For example, a command line for an OpenEdge client process that you use to access an MS SQL
Server database might look like this:
prowin32 mssholder -RO -db demo -dt MSS -ld demo -H host1 -S oserviceA
-U bob -P bobpass
Create a program icon for each unique set of connection parameters. See the “Connecting a
schema holder at startup” section on page 6–9 for command-line information and more
examples.
Starting the UNIX client process
After starting the remote broker, you start the OpenEdge client process on a UNIX machine by
running this executable:
pro
You can supply the connection parameters required by the DataServer when you start the client
process, or you can include them in the Connection Parameters field when you create a
schema holder.
For example, this command starts the OpenEdge client, connects a read-only schema holder
named mssholder, and connects the MS SQL Server demo database using the mssdemo DSN
with the user bob whose password is bobpass:
pro mssholder -RO -db demo -dt MSS -ld mssdemo -H host1 -S oserviceA
-U bob -P bobpass
See the “Connecting a schema holder at startup” section on page 6–9 for descriptions of the
required command line.
