v5 remote client using version 6 server.

900803-pjh01INTRODUCTION:
=============

This Product Services Technical Support Library entry explains how
to connect to a version 5 database as a remote client from version 6.

PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================

You will need to have two files set up at the operating system
level - the host file and the services file on the machine that
you are trying to connect to.

The host file lists the name of machines in your network and the
network address of each machine. On Unix machines, this file is
/etc/hosts. There must be an entry for the machine that you are
trying to connect to.

The services file stores information regarding various system
service processes. On Unix machines, the file is named /etc/services.
The services file names the PROGRESS database server process for each
database. It also specifies a port number and the tcp communications
protocol for each server process.

You will need to start the server with the following command

UNIX/DOS: proserve v5demo -S demosv -H misseq
VMS: progress/multi-user=start_server/service=demosv
/host=misseq
BTOS: progress server database Name misseq
server name-S demosv


The remote client will use this command to connect to the database
from the operating system:

UNIX/DOS: mpro v5demo -S demosv -H misseq
VMS: progress/multi-user=login/service=demosv
/host=misseq v5demo
BTOS: progress 4gl server name-S demosv
database name v5demo

If you are in a version 6 PROGRESS session, you can connect by using
the following statement:

connect v5demo -S demosv -H misseq

/etc/services files.
