Connect to remote CISAM gateway with MS-Windows Clients
This notebook entry describes how to access a remote gateway from a
MS-Windows client with the following specifications:
- The CISAM gateway on UNIX. You can modify the steps for other
gateway products.
- FTP TCP/IP, and therefore the _PROWINF.EXE executable. All remote
gateway capability is built into the PROGRESS Window executable.
You don't need to run the PROBUILD utility to build a new
executable. The exact executable that you use depends on the
type of TCP that you are using. See Table 7 in the "PROGRESS
Installation Notes" for the appropriate executable to use with
your network.
- The demonstration CISAM database.
Follow these steps on the UNIX machine:
1> To make the schema holder and the CISAM files remote to the PC
clients, follow the instructions in the "PROGRESS Database
Gateways Guide" to move the appropriate files to a working
directory and to create the schema holder.
2> PROBUILD a Remote Gateway Broker. Run the link script that is built
to get the executable. Define PROBRKR so that it points to this new
executable.
3> PROBUILD a Remote CISAM Server. Run the link script that is built
to get the executable. Define CISSRV so that it points to this new
executable.
4> Make sure the /etc/hosts file contains the Host name of the UNIX
machine and the internet address. For example, Host name dec486.
5> Make sure the /etc/services file contains the service names
that you will use for the schema holder AND the gateway broker.
For example, demosv - for the schema holder and qadev2 - for the
gateway broker.
6> Type the following command to start the remote gateway broker:
probrkr -S qadev2 -H dec486 -N TCP
7> Type the following command to start the server for the schema
holder:
proserve holder -S demosv -H dec486 -N TCP
(Note: holder is the schema holder name.)
Follow these steps on the DOS machine:
1> Determine the correct executable to use. For example, if you use
FTP TCP/IP then use the _prowinf.exe executable.
2> Make sure the C:\etc\hosts file contains the Host name of
the DOS machine and the internet address. For example,
Host name dec486.
3> Make sure the C:\etc\services file contains the service names
that you will use for the schema holder AND the gateway
broker. For example, demosv - for the schema holder and
gadev2 for the gateway broker.
4> Setup the following PROPERTIES for the PROGRESS icon:
Command Line: %DLC%\_prowinf.exe
Working Directory: C:\temp
5> Double-click on the PROGRESS icon to run PROGRESS.
6> From the Editor, use the following command to connect to the
remote schema holder.
connect holder -S demosv -H dec486 -N tcp
7> Use the following command to connect to the logical database name
for the CISAM files.
connect cisdemo -S qadev2 -H dec486 -N tcp
You are now connected and can access the data through the
CISAM gateway.
