==Configure the Progress native client==

Additional configuration is not generally required after installing a Progress native client. However, you should test your client to confirm functionality.

Use the following instructions to test the functionality of your Progress® Client Networking or Progress® SQL-92 Client Access on Windows operating systems: 

# Log in to the machine that contains your Progress client software.
# Open **Notepad** (Start menu >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Notepad).
# Enter the following string into Notepad, substituting your local values for the Service Name and Hostname:
{{{
-S <Progress Service Name> -N tcp -H <Progress Hostname> -db <database-name>
}}}
For example:
{{{
-S pro91d -N tcp -H proghost.example.com -db sports92
}}}

# Navigate to the bin sub-directory of your Progress installation, e.g., {{{C:\Program Files\Progress\bin\}}}.
# Run the following command: 
{{{
