Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

> ## Starting applications on a network

> | To start an OpenEdge application on a network:

> 1. Start each broker or server on its database server machine or application server machine.

> 2. Start the client applications on the application workstations.

> ##### Starting network brokers and servers

> You can start most network brokers and servers using either the Progress Explorer (available for Windows systems only) or the PROSERVE command for your database server machine. To use the Progress Explorer, double-click the Progress Explorer icon and follow the directions in the online help for starting brokers and servers. See Chapter 6, "Administration Utilities," for more information about starting the Progress Explorer.

> Alternatively, in Windows and on UNIX systems you can enter the following command to start brokers for two databases (sports and news) using the TCP network type:

>     proserve sports -S spsrv -H localhost -N TCP -db news -S nwsrv
>     -H localhost -N TCP

> ##### Starting TCP/IP clients in Windows

> You can start most network clients using the `MPRO` command for your application workstation. You can do this either by modifying the Client properties or by entering a command at the command line.

> To modify the Client icon, display the properties and modify the shortcut target. Modify the shortcut target with the following parameters to start a client application named `spapp.p` for two databases (sports and news) managed on a host named `dbmach` using the TCP network type:

>     prowin32.exe sports -p spapp.p -S sportssv -H dbmach -N TCP
>          -db news -S newssv -H dbmach -N TCP

> To use the command line in Windows systems, enter the following command to start a client application named `spapp.p` for two databases (sports and news) managed on a host named dbmach using the TCP network type:

>     prowin32 sports -p spapp.p -S sportssv -H dbmach -N TCP
>          -db news -S newssv -H dbmach -N TCP

> ##### Starting TCP/IP clients on UNIX

> You can start most network clients using the `MPRO` command for your application workstation. For example, on UNIX machines you can enter the following command to start a client application named `spapp.p` for two databases (sports and news) managed on a host named `dbmach`:

>     mpro sports -p spapp.p -S sportssv -H dbmach -db news -S newssv -H dbmach
