Starting the Windows client process

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

You can create a program icon for the OpenEdge 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 an OpenEdge Windows client process that you use to access an ODBC data source might look like this:

prowin32 odbholder -RO -db demo -dt ODBC -ld demo -H host1 -S oserviceA
-U bob -P bobpass
