Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

> ## MPRO command

> Starts a multi-user mode character OpenEdge client session.

> #### Syntax

>     mpro [ db-name ] [ parameters ]

> #### Parameters

> ``db-name``

> Specifies the database to which you want to connect. If you are connecting to a database through shared memory and the database is not in your current directory, you must specify the path of the database. On the other hand, if you are making a client/server connection to the database, you do not need to specify a path.

> ``parameters``

> Specifies the startup parameters you want to use.

> #### Notes

> - The `MPRO` command runs the following executable:

>     _progres

> - The server must be running before you issue this command with the `db-name` parameter. If the server is not running, OpenEdge displays the following error message:

>     There is no server for database db-name (1423)
