Connecting from Actuate to a Progress database on Novell
How do I connect from Actuate to a Progress database on a Novell
server?
You can not start an Open Interface Broker on a Novell server.
Therefore, you must start the Open Interface Broker on the Progress
8.2 client machine. For this to work, you must make sure you have
set environment variables for DLC, PROMSGS, PROCFG, PROOIBRK, and
PROOIDRV on the client. The PATH must also contain %DLC%, and
%DLC%/bin.
The Open Interface variables should be:
PROOIBRK=%DLC%\bin\oibrkr32.exe
PROOIDRV=%DLC%\bin\oidrvr32.exe
For example, to start the Open Interface Broker from a DOS box, icon,
or .bat file:
Dlc/Bin/oibrkr32.exe -SV -S <service name> -N <Network type>
Host will default to local machine if left unspecified.
You will probably also have to adjust the Message Buffer Size on the
client. To do this, open the file STARTUP.PF located in DLC (or
create one if it does not already exist). If you are getting error
1150 "Server has -Mm 512 but client has 1024" you must add the line:
-Mm 512 to STARTUP.PF.
Errors and messages from the Open Interface Driver are written to the
file PROOIDRV.LG in the directory where the Open Interface Broker was
started.
