Hello all... I am a 3 week user of progress 9.1C... I am trying to get the Progress Explore to work... just what is an AdminServer.

I have a local db and I start it with a BAT file using proserve. I can connect via SQL Explore and see data. But do not understand the Progress Explore .... it says start by adding an AdminServer... I'd love to but how do I do that.

Thanks all
Richard
 
Hi, i suppose your OS is Windows something. So if i'm right you have to start a "nt service" called "AdminService For Progress 9.1C".

But if you know how to start your db with proserve you don't need progress explorer.

adminservice

Hi

Yes Windows and the service is started.... and I am just trying to understand what Progress Explorer does??? or is supposed to do??

But from doc's it says first add an AdminServer... but I do not know what that means or how to add it.

Thanks
 
Progress explorer tool is a Microsoft Managment Console whoch allow you to start/stop your database server with all the parameters you want (as your .bat does but it's more modern).
You can manage your can manage appserver and sonic stuff too with progress explorer but i'm not use it so i can't explain you more.

The first action you have to do in this mmc is to "connect" to your server (in your cas it's localhost) by right-clicking on the node "localhost" and choose "connect" it should work. Just notice that you can't see your db server in the list if you start it with a .bat.
