Using Network Startup Parameters

To connect network clients, servers, and application servers, you might have to use a variety of startup parameters to establish and manage network communications among them. The requirements and use of these parameters vary on different operating systems and network environments. For more information on using startup parameters, see the Progress Startup Command and Parameter Reference .

Client Network Parameters

Table 10–3 lists the parameters you use to supply Progress clients with necessary network information.
