GOAL:
Client Server Checklist for Windows Clients Using TCP/IP
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
On the server side:
- Make sure the server is started with a -S <servicename> parameter.
The servicename must correspond to an entry in the services file. The name used is case-sensitive. (Refer to Progress Solution 7527, and the TCP/IP chapter of the Progress Networking Guide for more information on the services file.)
- Make sure the server is started with a -N TCP parameter.
On the client side:
- Make sure that the TCP/IP layer is installed and working (for example, by trying to access the Internet).
- The client PC must have a services file that includes an entry for the servicename parameter that was used when the server was started.
- The entry in the client's services file must match exactly the entry that is in the host's services file.
The exact location for the services file on the client PC varies, based upon your exact Windows flavor. Refer to Progress Solution 15578 for more information.
- The client PC must have a hosts file that includes an entry for the host machine on which your database server runs.
- The entry in the client's hosts file must exactly match the entry in the host machine's hosts file.
The correct location for the hosts file on the client PC varies, based your exact Windows flavor. Refer to Progress Solution 15578 for more information, as well as Progress Solution 7527 and the TCP/IP Networks chapter of the Progress Networking Guide for more information on the hosts file.
- The client's Progress startup command must include the following parameters:
-N TCP
-S <servicename>
-H <hostname>
- The servicename must match the servicename used when the database service was started, and must match the entry in the services file. It is case-sensitive.
- The hostname is the name of the host machine where the database server is running. It must match an entry in the hosts file. It is case-sensitive.
