SUMMARY:
The purpose of this document is to explain one instance where a known failure to connect to the AppServer will occur.
This instance of connection failure occurs if the default protermcap has been modified in the following manner.
EXPLANATION:
1. The AppServer is started:
AppServer started:
asbman -name asbroker1 -start
2. The AppServer is queried:
AppServer queried:
asbman -name asbroker1 -query
Progress PATCH Version 9.1C15 as of April 13, 2002

Connecting to asbroker1 (8276)

The error concerning protermcap ('ansi' missing from the protermcap file) is because the customer site uses a custom protermcap file which had 'ansi' definitions removed.
After inserting the terminal definition, the connection was made immediately.
According to notes in the protermcap file, 'ansi' is only used for the SCO console. This is documented here as a problem that can occur if the protermcap is missing this information in this instance.
Note: This problem does not happen in Progress 8, so that it may be unexpected if going from Progress 8 to 9.
