Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results Administration and Development

> ## Starting a sever for an OpenEdge database

> Before you can establish a multi-user connection to an OpenEdge database, you must start a server for that database. Use one of the following commands to start an OpenEdge server for an OpenEdge database:

> Operating system | Syntax
> --- | ---
> Character | proserve `dbname` [`parameters` ]
> Windows1 | wproserve [ `dbname` ] -N DDE [ `parameters` ]
> Modify the Server Shutdown icon properties to use this command. This command starts an interactive server shell for an OpenEdge database. The server is not a high-performance server and is provided to facilitate testing of multi-user OpenEdge applications in Windows.

> As with the startup commands, these server startup commands can also take additional parameters that configure the OpenEdge database server to meet your needs.

> Once you start a server process for an OpenEdge database, you cannot establish a single-user connection to that database until you shut down the server. Use one of the following commands to shut down an OpenEdge database server.

> Operating system | Syntax
> --- | ---
> Character mode | proshut `dbname` [ -by | -bn | -H `host-name` | -S `server-name` | -F ] ...
> Windows1 | wproshut [`dbname` ] [`parameters` ]
> Modify the OpenEdge Server Shutdown icon properties to use this command. This command displays a dialog box that allows you to specify how you want to shut down a specified OpenEdge database.

> For more information about startup commands, parameters, and OpenEdge RDBMS connections, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration . For more information about OpenEdge RDBMS servers, see the OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .
