Running Win32 Character Window from UIB gives error 1423
If trying to execute a TTY Window (that is, a Window which Alternate
Layout is Character Based) from the UIB you get error:
There is no server for database <dbname>. (1423)
and the same Window runs fine in GUI mode, then you need to read the
User Interface Builder Developer's Guide, page 10-21, section 10.11.1
"Character Client Connection Issues". This reference is for 8.2 manual
edition May 1997.
What is hapenning is that the Win32 Character Client is only getting
the database name from the UIB to make the connection. This is enough
only if there is a local server for that database that allows shared
memory connections. However, if network parameters are needed or if
the UIB connected the database in single user mode, this error
appears.
The cited manual section explains that an entry called "PROSTARTUP"
has to be added to the WinChar Startup section of the Registry (not
the PROGRESS.INI file) to specify a parameter file which contains the
connection string for the remote database.
This has been tested and found true in versions 8.3A and 9.0A.
