how service??

What kind of service? Web service? From Progress or one provided by Progress? Version? More info please.
 
Basically to start a service that will enable me to connect to my db across the network. So I am able to populate the -S and -H parameters type thing. I have my db sat on my box, and which other terminals (PC) to connect to the database, I want to be able to see the db across the network.
TIA
 
Still not very clear on what you want ... starting the database with -S and -H *is* what you do to make it accessible across a network ... that is done on the server box. On your box you start a client session with the name of the database and matching parameters.

Are you trying to do this and having some problem? Or just not knowing how to get started? Is this a new installation?
 
Simply
I have a server box with the db on.
I want clients to be able to see and connect to this db.
What do I do?
 
When you start the database add -S <portnumber> to startup where <portnumber> is the number that you will use on your client to connect using -H <serverip> -S <portnumber>
 
Re: When you start the database
>> How do I start the database? It is just connected through OE and single user at the moment. I am trying to distribute it across the network. I know I can right mouse click through explorer to start.
But I am unable to connect to it then through the app builder.
TIA
 
starting:
%DLC%\bin\proserve <databaselocation + name> -H <hostname> -S <servicename>

connecting:
if you know the database parameters (-H and -S and dbname) simply start a prowin32 session (obviously this is for windows env).
refer in your startup to a .pf (parameter file) with the database parameters in it.

so the <database>.pf containts the following (at least):
-db <databasename>
-H <hostname>
-S <servicename>

then the command:
%DLC%\bin\prowin32.exe -pf <database>.pf
