GOAL:
Can I connect to a personal database with the -H -S parameters?
GOAL:
Can I connect to a personal database using Client Server?
GOAL:
Can I connect to a personal database from a remote machine?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.X
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
Yes, this is possible if remote is considered as a connection using a port.
You can start a server using a port (-S) and localhost (-H) as the server. Clients on the local machine can connect to the personal database via that port and localhost for the server. Using the actual hostname or IP address will NOT work for the client connection. Clients cannot connect remotely from another machine.
examples:
proserve dbname -S 6767 -H localhost ..message This server is licensed for local logins only. (4393)
Same message if started with the hostname or the IP address. The IP bound to the port is 127.0.0.1 in each case.
prowin32 dbname -S 6767 -H localhost works on windows
mpro dbname -S 6767 -H localhost works on UNIX.
prowin32 or mpro will fail if they use the actual hostname or IP address even though they are on the same box.
