Setting Up and Running the DataServer
After installing and configuring your DataServer as the Progress DataServer Guides describe, follow these general steps:
- Start the DataServer processes and create the schema holder. The WebSpeed Transaction Server does not have to be running at this time.
- One recommended technique for managing an Agent’s connection information is to create a parameter file (.pf). Create a parameter file that specifies the schema holder, the database, user information, and information for accessing a remote database, if your configuration requires it. For more information on creating and using parameter files, see the Progress Client Deployment Guide .
- Configure the WebSpeed Agent to use the parameter file that you created by specifying the Parameter File (-pf) parameter. For example, if you created a parameter file named
db2dbcon.pf
, your entry in the Startup Parameters field on the Server Parameters tab in the Progress Explorer might be:
- Start the Transaction Server.
When the WebSpeed Broker whose Agents you configured with DataServer connection information receives a Web request, it selects an Agent from its pool to service the request by connecting to the non-Progress database and, through the DataServer, retrieving or updating data.
