Identify the Progress startup mode (i.e., sockets or shared memory)

1. Login to your Progress DBMS server.

2. Locate the database log file. Typically, the log file should have the same name as the database .db file with a .lg extension.

3. Make a copy of the database log file.

4. Open the copy with a text editor.

5. Locate the entries that pertain to the last database startup.

6. See if the entries contain a Host Name, Service Name, and Network Type. For example:

1:50:04 BROKER  0: Host Name (-H): oplusaix3. (4261)
11:50:04 BROKER  0: Service Name (-S): pro91d. (4262)
11:50:04 BROKER  0: Network Type (-N): tcp. (4263)

These are Progress sockets startup parameters. They indicate that a database is running in sockets or TCP mode.The Host Name and Service Name will vary on your machine. However, the Network Type of "tcp" must be present. If that network type is not present, the database is running in shared memory mode.
