Starting and Stopping a Broker Process from the Progress Explorer and Connecting a Client

You can use the Progress Explorer to administer the server module (_msssrv.exe) of the DataServer on NT.

On the NT Host

Before you attempt to start the DataServer in the Explorer, be sure that you have configured it completely. After starting the broker from the Progress Explorer, you start your Progress client as you would in any remote DataServer configuration.

To start and stop the DataServer from the Explorer, see the Progress Explorer online help.

On the Client

After you start the broker on the host machine from the Progress Explorer, you can connect your UNIX or Windows client. Use the same parameters that you would use to connect to the schema holder and SQL Server™ database in a standard probrkr configuration. In addition:

If you do not set the required -Dsrv SVUB,1 and optional -DataService data–service connection parameters as described in this section, the client is assumed to be configured for a standard Progress broker and the -H and -S parameters are used to locate a probrkr executable on the appropriate host machine. By setting the SVUB parameter on, you redirect the -H and -S parameters to locate the appropriate NameServer and/or broker on the host machine. The following example illustrates how to use these connection parameters for a client that connects to a NameServer:

CONNECT mssholder -db mssdemo -dt MSS -U bob -P bobpass -H host1 
-S mssport -DataService mssbroker1 -Dsrv SVUB,1
