startup.pf file
|
The startup.pf file is the parameter file that all Progress clients look at when they start. Therefore, Report Builder and Report Engine scan this file, and any parameter files referenced in it, looking for parameters. The PROSTARTUP environment variable contains the name and location of the startup.pf file. If PROSTARTUP is not defined, the default file name is startup.pf in the $DLC directory.
Because all Progress clients reference this parameter file, it cannot contain any Report Builder-specific or Report Engine-specific startup parameters. Also, do not specify database connection parameters.

rbstart.pf file
|
The rbstart.pf file is an optional parameter file that only Report Builder and Report Engine scan. The RBSTARTUP environment variable contains the name of the Report Builder startup file. If RBSTARTUP is not defined, Report Builder and Report Engine look in the $DLC directory for a file named rbstart.pf . If they do not find the file there, they give up their search and continue their startup process. To include the RBSTARTUP environment variable in the registry or the Progress.INI file, include it in the [RBStartup] section.
You can specify Progress startup parameters, Report Builder-specific parameters, and Report Engine-specific parameters in this parameter file.
