TCPware, problems ?
* Introduction
============
This Knowledge Base Entry explains how to configure
TCPware on VMS machines to be used as TCP/IP Networking
with PROGRESS.
* TCPware configuration files
===========================
To create the environment of TCPware (logical names,
symbols, DCL statements, etc.): TCPware is usually
installed at SYS$SYSROOT:[TCPWARE].
In such directory there is a command procedure
TCPWARE_LOGICALS.COM that creates the logical names
that TCPware requires.
In the same directory, the command procedure
TCPWARE_COMMANDS.COM creates the indirect DCL commands
to run the TCPware utilities.
You will find as well in this directory the command
procedures to start, stop,... to manage the TCPware
software.
Please refer to TCPware documentation for further details
about TCPware configuration and control.
i.e.
TCPWARE logical name:
"TCPWARE" = "TCPWARE_ROOT:[TCPWARE]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
"TCPWARE_ROOT" = "SYS$SYSROOT:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
* HOW TO START TCPware
====================
$ @TCPWARE:TCPWARE.COM
If this command does not work, please have a look into
the file (remember that the TCPWARE logical name use to
be SYS$SYSROOT:[TCPWARE].
* HOW TO STOP TCPware
===================
$ @TCPWARE:SHUTNET.COM
* SERVICES file
=============
The file to contain the services to use with PROGRESS
is:
SYS$SYSTEM:SERVICES.DAT
The format must be ASCII sequential and 'UNIX' style.
i.e.
prosv00 2500/tcp
prosv01 2510/tcp
...
Take care that this file is accessible to all users
$ set file/protection=(w:re) sys$system:services.dat
* HOSTS file
==========
The file to contain the hosts names and IP addresses of
the machines to connect C/S with PROGRESS need to be:
TCPWARE:HOSTS. (yes, without extension).
The format must be ASCII sequential and 'UNIX' style.
i.e.
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
192.1.2.3 host123 HOST123
...
Take care that this file is accessible to all users
$ set file/protection=(w:re) tcpware:hosts.
* PROGRESS
========
AS USUAL, BE SURE THAT TCPware IS UP & RUNNING BEFORE
STARTING ANY TEST WITH PROGRESS.
TCPware may be used with PROGRESS 7.3C06 or later.
The qualified version of TCPware is 5.0-3B.
However, refer to the Release Notes of your PROGRESS
product for up-to-date information about the qualified
versions.
* ERROR: Unable to find host <name> in /etc/hosts. (780)
======================================================
If you installed the PROGRESS executables (progres.exe,
_mprosrv.exe) as shared images, the TCPware image
TCPWARE:UCX$IPC_SHR.EXE needs to be installed as shared
image as well.
- To install/deinstall the PROGRESS executables as shared
images please refer to the Installation Manual.
* Additional Information
======================
