FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x

SYMPTOM(s):

Error starting database from progress explorer

Parameter File: Not Enabled. (4282)

Specifying a parameter file (.pf) in Progress Explorer for the database

The parameter file contains the -db parameter.

CAUSE:

When you start a database in Progress Explorer it is actually doing a "proserve <database name>" and attaches the additional parameters after it from the -pf file. Please see the following example:

proserve sports2000 -pf progress.pf

Where progress.pf contains:
-db sports2000
-H pc
-N tcp
-S 1234

The -db is a Client Connection (CC) parameter and not a Database Server (DBS) parameter. It tries to start the sports2000 database twice which is not possible. This will result in the parameter file not being used and thus the database log file will report message 4282.

FIX:

Take off -db parameter from pf file
