Progress
Startup Command and Parameter
Reference
PROSERVE Command
Starts the initial Progress multi-user server process. This server process coordinates all access to the specified Progress database.
SYNTAX
PARAMETERS
db-name
Specifies the specific database you want to start Progress against.
-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 the
conmgr.properties
file. You create servergroups using the Progress Explorer tool, which saves them in theconmgr.properties
file. For more information, see the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows or Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX .parameters
Specifies the startup parameters for the broker/server. If both -servergroup and parameters are specified, those that occur last on the command line take precedence.
NOTES
- The PROSERVE command runs the following executable:
- The initial database server process is called the broker. The process manages shared resources and starts servers for remote users, if necessary.
- You can specify only one database name when using PROSERVE to start a server or servergroup.
- Servergroups manage network connections four separate ways:
- You create servergroups using the Progress Explorer 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.- 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:
