OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Connecting a schema holder at startup
Connecting a schema holder
OpenEdge supports connection parameters that you can use to connect both the
OpenEdge schema holder and a MS SQL Server database at startup. These
parameters control how your system connects to a database. If the DataServer runs in
a remote configuration, your startup command or parameter file always includes
parameters that control networking options.
Table 30 describes the database connection parameters that you use when you
connect to a schema holder and a MS SQL Server database through the DataServer.

Parameter Status Description
Database Type
MSS
(-dt MSS)
Physical Database
Name
(-db)
Logical Database
Name
(-ld)
Host Name
(-H)
Optional Specifies that the type of the target data
source is MS SQL Server.
If not specified, the server will resolve
the database type.
Required Indicates the name by which OpenEdge
recognizes the MS SQL Server
database to which you want to connect.
This name must match the name that
you used when you registered the data
source as a MS SQL Server database.
Optional Specifies the logical name of the MS
SQL Server database. This is the name
that you use to refer to the data source
in your applications. You must use this
parameter only when the logical data
source name differs from its physical
name. This name should match the
logical database name that you defined
in your schema holder.
For example, your applications might
refer to the MS SQL Server demo
database as mydemo. In this case, the
physical name is demo, and the logical
name is mydemo.
If not specified, the logical database
name is assumed to be the same as the
physical name. An error will be
generated if the physical name and
logical name do not match when this
parameter is omitted.
Required for

DataServer
Indicates the name of the Windows host
machine in the network.
