Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

Starting a server or broker

The server process coordinates all the database requests from all the users using a single database. The main database server is called the broker. The broker process manages shared resources and starts servers for remote users, if necessary.

Use Progress Explorer or use the PROSERVE startup command to start the server process:

proserve -db db-name | -servergroup server-group-name [ parameters ]

-db db-name

Specifies the database you want to start a server for (-db is implicit).

-servergroup server-group-name

Specifies the logical collection of server processes to start. The server-group-name you specify must match the name of a server group in the conmgr.properties file. You create server groups using the Progress Explorer Database Configuration Tools, which save them in the conmgr.properties file.

parameters

Specifies the startup parameters for the broker/server. See Chapter 18, "Database Startup Parameters," for a list of broker/server startup parameters.

For more information about the PROSERVE command see Chapter 17, " Startup and Shutdown Commands."
