Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

> ## Starting and stopping a broker process from the command line

> This section addresses how you can start and stop a broker process from the command line.

> | To start and stop a broker process from the command line:

> 1. Set the environment variable `MSSSRV` to the name of the executable (including the path) of the DataServer for MS SQL Server. Be sure to set this variable on the host machine.

> 2. To start the DataServer broker process, enter the following command at the system prompt on your Windows host machine. Select a value for `service–name` from the list of available services in your `\``windows-install-dir``\system32\drivers\etc\services` file:

>     brokername -H host-name -S service-name

> For example, the following command uses the default broker executable. The service name demosv is a service listed in that file:

>     _probrkr -H paris -S demosv

> 3. To stop the broker process, enter this command:

>     proshut -Gw -H host-name -S service-name

> After you start the Windows broker process, you are ready to start an OpenEdge client on a PC running in Windows or on a UNIX machine. See the "Starting the Windows client process" section, or the "Starting the UNIX client process" section for instructions.
