Odbc

[BOBAH]

Dear All,

I'm new in Progress. I have two questions:

1) How can I create DNS less connection to the Progress.DB

2) How can I create ODBC system DNS to the Progress Database. I select MERANT 3.60 32-bit Progress SQL92 v9.1D driver and after I am asked for:
- Data Source Name
- Description
- Host Name (is it the name of the our server where the db is???)
- Port Number (where can I get it from???)
- Database Name (is it physical location of DB on the server????)
- User ID

Please help, or give references.

data source name - name of ur connections, (eg:MyConnection)
description - optional
host name - ip address or server name of the server on which ur database resides
port number - [-S] value when u startup ur DB
database name - name of ur database
User ID - database user name(eg:sysprogress or pub)

Thank you for your answer.

I think that I need to create a secondary broker.
if I run
proserve D:\SCS\data\tifrt.db -n 61 -Mn 15 -Mi 3 -Ma 5 -Mpb 4 -N tcp -S 90009 -ServerType 4G

can I use any port??? (-S parameter)
Will the creation of a new broker can affect somehow existing connection to this database??? I mean can I try to create a new broker on live database where we do store all our vital data?

Thank you for you help
