Network Addressing With Progress (- S and -H)
In all network environments, you use the Service Name (-
S
) startup parameter to assign a name to a Progress broker/server. You then address this broker/server from a remote client by using the same value for -S
as a startup or database connection parameter. Depending on your network type, you might also have to specify additional addressing criteria for remote Progress clients. In terms of Progress addressing, the TCP protocol uses host addressing.The TCP protocol requires a remote client to explicitly address the database server machine (or host) on which the server runs. In a TCP network, you must use the Host Name (-
H
) startup parameter to specify the host address. The -H
value is the name assigned to the database server machine in your TCP/IP hosts file.Use Host Name (-
H
) to identify the host name. For example:-H host-name
The TCP/IP host-name (address) of the database server machine.
-H localhost
A reserved word that specifies that the Database server communicates only with clients on the database server machine. Not applicable for DataServers.
NOTE: The -H
parameter has a special purpose when used with the Progress/400 DataServer and SNA. If you are connecting to multiple AS/400 machines, you must supply this parameter for each AS/400.
