Progress
Startup Command and Parameter
Reference
PROBRKR Command
Starts the DataServer broker, which is used when Progress clients connect to non-Progress databases. To use the DataServer from a remote client, you must first start the broker. Once you start the broker, it can receive the client requests and spawn the appropriate DataServer.
SYNTAX
PARAMETERS
db-name
Specifies the name of the database you are connecting to.
service-name
Specifies the name of the broker process on the host machine.
host-name
Specifies the name of the machine where the DataServer broker is installed. This parameter is only required on UNIX System V systems using the TLI network type. The default value is the current host.
network-type
Specifies the network protocol for which the broker will run.
Progress supports TCP, SNA (Progress/400 only), and LFP (Progress/400 only).
NOTES
- You can use any of the startup parameters with the PROBRKR Command.
- For information about connecting to a non-Progress database, remotely or locally, see the DataServer documentation.
- You must start the remote broker in the same environment where the non-Progress database is, because the servers it spawns inherit the setup of the environment from the broker. For example, if you use an ORACLE database on a UNIX platform, set the ORACLE_SID value for that environment, as you would for a local DataServer.
- Start the broker on a node that is locally connected to the disk containing the non-Progress database.
