Progress
Startup Command and Parameter
Reference
Service Name (-S)
service-name
The name of the service to be used by the broker process.
port-number
The port number of the host; if using Progress Explorer, the port number of the NameServer.
Use Service Name (
-S
) to specify the service or port number to be used when connecting to a broker process or used by a broker process on the host machine. You must use this parameter when you are starting:The system administrator must make an entry in the
services
file that specifies the server or broker name and port number.When the broker spawns a server, the server inherits all of the network parameters (except the
Service Name
parameter) from the broker. Because there is no restriction on the number of brokers you can start, you can have multiple brokers running with different network parameters. See also the Server Group (-servergroup) startup parameter description.Table 4–1 shows how the broker, server, and remote client interpret each of their parameters when you use the
-S
parameter.
To run multi-user Progress from a remote network node, use both the Host Name (-H) and Service Name (-S) parameters.
