Configuring Windows Modules
A DataServer configuration that includes a Windows 95 or 98 client can be local or client-server, that is, remote. If all DataServer modules are running on the client PC, the Progress client accesses the remote ORACLE database through SQL*Net or Net 8. See Table 3–1 for a list of the possible configurations. A Windows machine cannot serve as a host machine in a remote DataServer configuration.
To configure the Windows client module, follow these steps:
- Make sure the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variable is set correctly. You can set variables in the registry (ORACLE sets ORACLE_SID at installation time), at the system level or in an
.ini
file.- If you plan to use SQL*Net or Net 8 to access the ORACLE database, make sure that the client executable has read access to the
tnsnames.ora
file in the directory indicated by the TNS_ADMIN variable in theoracle.ini
file.Optionally, you can build a customized client executable using the PROBUILD utility. Using PROBUILD on Windows is similar to using it on UNIX. See "Building DataServer Executables," for instructions on building DataServer executables.
