OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Chapter 6: Connecting the DataServer
Starting the Windows client process
Start the OpenEdge client process on your Windows machine by running the
prowin32.exe executable. The Windows executable includes support for the
DataServer.
You can create a program icon for the OpenEdge client process. On the command line
for the program icon, enter the following information:
1. The executable
2. The schema holder name
3. The connection parameters required by the remote DataServer configuration
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 219 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 219 for descriptions
of the required command line.
