Starting Applications On a Network

In general, you can start a Progress application on a network by following these steps:

  1. Start each broker or server on its database server machine or AppServer machine.
  2. Start the client applications on the application workstations.
Starting Network Brokers and Servers

You can start most network brokers and servers using the PROSERVE command for your database server machine. For example, on a UNIX machine you enter the following command to start brokers for two databases (sports and news) using the TCP network type:

proserve sports -S spsrv -N TCP -db news -S nwsrv -N TCP 

Starting TCP/IP Clients On UNIX

You can start most network clients using the MPRO command for your application workstation. For example, on UNIX machines you can enter the following command to start a client application named spapp.p for two databases (sports and news) managed on a host named dbmach using the TCP network type:

mpro sports -p spapp.p -S sportssv -H dbmach -N TCP 
     -db news -S newssv -H dbmach -N TCP
