SYMPTOM(s):
Making a remote connection to a progress database that has its files on a remote server fails.
This version of progress does not allow remote connections (2226)
CAUSE:
The startup command for the database was not correct.
FIX:
Include the -S parameter with an available port number.
Include the full path to the database using the mapped drive on the server.
Include the -H value with the hostname of the server where you start the database, not where the database files are located.
set -N to TCP
Start the client and connect with these parameters, except you can use just the database name in the client connection statement.
Example:
Box A has the progress install where we start the database with -S <port number>.
Box A has a mapped drive that connects to the database files located on the remote server, Box B.
The startup of the database must include the absolute path to the database.
Box B is the remote server where the database files are located.
Box C is the client making a remote connection to the database.
Client on box C connects to the dbname, the hostname (-H) of Box A and the -S value used to start the database. Also specify the -N value (TCP).
