-servergroup servergroup-name
Specifies the logical collection of server processes to start. The
servergroup-name
you specify must match the name of a servergroup in theconmgr.properties
file. You create servergroups using the Progress Explorer Database Configuration Tools, which saves them in theconmgr.properties
file.db-name
Specifies the specific database you want to start.
parameters
Specifies the startup parameters for the broker/server. See "Database Administration Utilities," for a list of broker/server startup parameters.
NOTES
- You can specify only one database name when using PROSERVE to start a broker or servergroup.
- Servergroups manage network connections four separate ways:
- Typically, servergroups share common attributes such as connection port, number of servers, and how connected clients are distributed among the severs.
- You create servergroups using the Progress Explorer Database Configuration Tool, which saves them in the
conmgr.properties
file. The servergroup-name you specify with the PROSERVE-servergroup
parameter must match the name of a servergroup in theconmgr.properties
file. Do not edit theconmgr.properties
file directly. Instead, use Progress Explorer. For more information on the Progress Explorer, click the help icon within the Progress Explorer application.- The behavior of the
-servergroup
parameter is similar to the behavior of the-pf
(parameter file) parameter. In effect,
-servergroup
causes a server to load the parameters associated with the servergroup, including the database name.It is possible to override the parameter values associated with a servergroup by adding additional parameters to the PROSERVE command. For example, if the database buffer pool is set to 10,000 within the configuration associated with a servergroup, you can specify a larger value by adding an additional parameter:
Conversely, if you specify a startup parameter before the
-servergroup
parameter, the startup parameter can be overridden when the same parameter is set in the servergroup configuration file. For example, if you place the additional parameter before the-
servergroup
parameter, the database buffer pool remains 10,000:
