Progress
DataServer for
Microsoft SQL Server
Guide


Starting the NT or Windows Client Process

Start the Progress client process on your Windows machine by running the prowin32.exe executable. The Windows executable includes support for the DataServer.

You can create a program icon for the Progress client process. On the command line for the program icon, enter the following information:

  1. The executable.
  2. The schema holder name. If you have multiple schema holders, create a program icon for each schema holder.
  3. The connection parameters required by the remote DataServer configuration.

For example, a command line for a Progress client process that you use to access a SQL Server™ database might look like this:

prowin32 mssholder -RO -db demo -dt MSS -ld demo -H host1 -S oserviceA
  -N TCP -U bob -P bobpass 

See the "Connecting a Schema Holder at Startup" section for command-line information and more examples.
