GOAL:

Can schema (.df) and data files (.d) be loaded against a database running on a remote machine?

GOAL:

If I only have a workgroup license on a UNIX machine, can I load the .df and the .d from a windows client?

GOAL:

Do you have to have a client license on the same physical machine as the database to load the schema (.df) or data files (.d)?

FACT(s) (Environment):

All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Versions
OpenEdge Category: Configuration

FIX:

A database can be created on a remote machine and then updated or loaded from a remote client. The database engine does not require a local client for the purpose of loading schema (.df) or data files (.d).

Example (using UNIX machine as DB server machine and Windows machine as client machine):

Remote Database Server machine (where a client license does not currently exist):

prostrct create dbname dbname.st -blocksize 8192
procopy $DLC/empty8 dbname
proserve dbname -H hostname -S ServiceName or Port#

Remote client machine (where client license resides):

Make sure that the schema file (.df) and data files (.d) are located on this machine. So that the Data Administration utility within the Client can access these files.

prowin32.exe dbname -H hostname -S ServiceName or Port#
Once connected to the database, go into the Data Administration -> Admin -> Load Data and Definitions
Proceed with loading the schema (.df) and then load the data (.d).
