OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Starting a remote DataServer
Starting and stopping a broker process from the
command line
This section addresses how you can start and stop a broker process from the
command line.
To start and stop a broker process from the command line:
1. Set the environment variable MSSSRV to the name of the executable (including the
path) of the DataServer for MS SQL Server. Be sure to set this variable on the host
machine.
2. To start the DataServer broker process, enter the following command at the
system prompt on your Windows host machine. Select a value for service–name
from the list of available services in your
\OpenEdge-install-dir\system32\drivers\etc\services file:
brokername -H host-name -S service-name
For example, the following command uses the default broker executable. The
service name demosv is a service listed in that file:
_probrkr -H paris -S demosv
3. To stop the broker process, enter this command:
proshut -Gw -H host-name -S service-name
After you start the Windows broker process, you are ready to start an OpenEdge client
on a PC running in Windows or on a UNIX machine. See the “Starting the Windows
client process” section on page 216 or the “Starting the UNIX client process” section
on page 216 for instructions.
