Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Starting the multi-user server or broker

Before you can run multi-user OpenEdge, you must start the multi-user server process. The server process coordinates all the database requests from all the users using a single database. Enter the following command to start the multi-user server process:

proserve db-name [ parameters ]

db-name

Specifies the database you want to start OpenEdge against (-db is implicit).

parameters

Specifies the startup parameters for the broker/server.

Note: The main database server is called the broker. The broker process manages shared resources and starts servers for remote users, if necessary. For more information, see the "Shared-memory configurations" section.
