Start Proserve??

[lord_icon]

Could somebody explain with example syntax, how to start a progress database. So I can connect to it please. I also wish to create a shortcut to use to do this.
If my db is at W:\db\UM.db and
my app is W:\src\um.w
Progress (prowin 32) is in the default directory.
Many thanks.

If you actually have a local w: drive and you are on the server and your DLC and PATH environment variables are set, and you are not using procontrol or Progress explorer the syntax is "proserve w:\db\UM.db". You can also place a -pf parameter pointing to a database parameter file.

Since you did not provide any version information this is generic in the extream.

This is NOT generic in any stream.
The good thing about PSC is the backward compatability.
Version is not a requirement. However I am using OpenEdge 10.1 B.

Try to start a version 7 database with progress explorer.

Or OE10 with Procontrol

Good luck with that.
