Progress
Startup Command and Parameter
Reference
Using Parameter Files
A parameter file is an operating system file that contains one or more startup parameters. The primary reason to use a parameter file is to avoid typing commands each time you want to start Progress. Instead of repeatedly typing a series of parameters and other arguments, type them once and place them in a parameter file. You can also use a parameter file to maintain the startup parameters for a particular database, group of users, or system configuration. A parameter file has a .pf extension.
Every Progress executable invokes a parameter file named
startup.pf
by default. This file is located in the DLC directory. It must exist for Progress to execute properly. You can modifystartup.pf
to add parameter definitions. You can also create one or more additional parameter files and direct Progress to invoke them after it invokesstartup.pf
.NOTE: In Windows, you can specify the name of the Progress startup file using the PROSTARTUP environment variable in theprogress.ini
file and the Registry. See the Progress Client Deployment Guide for more information on theprogress.ini
file.
