OpenEdge Data Management:<br />DataServer for ORACLE Configuring the DataServer in the Windows host

Before you can run the DataServer modules in the Windows host, you must set environment variables. The Progress Explorer utility provides a graphical interface that allows you to manage and configure the DataServer host environment. See the "Configuring the DataServer in the Explorer administration framework" section for instructions.

If you do not choose to use the Progress Explorer and want to set environment variables manually, see Table 5–2.

Open the Proenv window from your installation folder.

Set the required variables as described in Table 5–2.

Table 5–2: DataServer for ORACLE environment variables
Variable	Value
`ORACLE_HOME`	The pathname of the directory where you installed ORACLE.
`ORACLE_SID`	The identifier for the ORACLE instance you are accessing.
`ORASRV`	The name of the executable (including the path) of the ORACLE DataServer. If you are not using the default DataServer executable, `_orasrv.exe`, set `ORASRV` to point to the appropriate executable.
PROSTARTUP	The pathname of your default OpenEdge startup (`.pf`) file. To set the Message Buffer Size (`-Mm`) startup parameter for the broker to a value different from the 1924 default buffer size, you must set the `PROSTARTUP` environment variable equal to the path and name of the .pf file that contains the `-Mm` parameter. This approach ensures that your value is recognized and therefore used by the broker when it starts. Only Windows clients must use this technique. Note: If you use the command line utility and intend to set the `-Mm` startup parameter to a value other than 1024, you must use the `.pf` file with the `PROSTARTUP` variable set.

Start the broker. See the "Starting the DataServer processes" section for instructions to start the DataServer processes from the command line.
