GOAL:
Is WIPC supported in Progress 8.x?
FIX:
In Progress 7.3B through Progress 8.1C on Windows client
platforms you could start a local database server, also
referred to as a WIPC server, by using the wproserv.exe executable.
Beginning with Progress 8.2, WIPC was no longer supported. However, there
is a limited function version of the _mprosrv.exe executable which is
the database server executable. This can be run on a Windows 95 or
NT machine to serve a database locally, which will give the same
functionality as WIPC for testing and development purposes.
The methodology is slightly different, however. You will need to
start the executable with syntax similar to the following:
c:\dlc\bin\_mprosrv.exe c:\work\dbname
Initiate this command from within the working directory of the
database.
From your client sessions you can then just give the explicit path to
the database and connect in multi-user mode.
