Connecting MS-Windows V7 clients to V6 VMS server
The following outlines the steps to connect a version 7 MS-Windows
client to a version 6 VMS Progress Server via Pathworks:
(This has been tested with V7.2E and V72.D on the client side, and
V6.2N and above on the VMS side)
On the VAX: The node name: CONDOR. The database name: SPARROW.
To start the Progress V6 server:
Syntax:
$PROG/MULTI=START/SERVICE=srvcname/HOST=node/NETWORK=DECNET dbname
Example:
$PROG/MULTI=START/SERVICE=BIRD/HOST=CONDOR/NETWORK=DECNET SPARROW
To connect the remote V7 MS-Windows client:
Enter the SERVICE name and the NODE name into the NCP database on
the PC as outlined in Appendix A of the Database Gateways Guide.
Enter Windows.
Set up the Progress icon with the following command line:
(Use the appropriate directory path for you environment).
Command Line: C:\DLC\WIN\_PROWIN.EXE
Run the Progress icon (Double click on the icon).
From the Progress Editor enter the following command to connect
the remote V6 server:
Syntax:
CONNECT dbname -S SRVCNAME -H NODE
(The -N (network) will default to NETBIOS which is correct).
Example:
CONNECT SPAROW -S BIRD -H CONDOR
****PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SERVICE NAME IS CASE SENSITIVE.
USUALLY THE SERVICE NAME WILL BE ENTERED IN THE NCP DATABASE IN
UPPERCASE. THEREFORE, PLEASE ENTER THE SERVICE NAME IN UPPERCASE
WHEN ISSUE THE ABOVE COMMAND. ******
At this point you will be connected to the V6 Progress database
on the VAX/VMS machine.
