Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

Connecting to a remote database

When connecting to a remote database, an agent needs information about the database’s physical location. Unlike a local connection, where you can choose not to include them, you must include the parameters described in Table 12–1 for a remote connection.

Table 12–1: Remote connection parameters 

Parameter	Description
Host Name (-H)	Indicates the name of the machine where the database server resides.
Service Name (-S)	Indicates the name of the available service you are calling. This is the service that the database server uses, not a WebSpeed service. See your \etc\services file for a list of available services. Note that the database server does not have to use a named service.

This example of a SrvrStartupParam setting from ubroker.properties connects to a remote Sports2000 database:

srvrStartupParam=-p web\objects\web-disp.p -cpstream iso8859-1 -weblogerror -db sports2000 -H pluto -S mysv12

The remote database is on the pluto host and the database server uses the service, mysv12.
