-P and -U Startup Parameters Require _User File Records

The "-P and -U startup parameters" error message appears when the Progress security file has not been configured. If your database is password protected, take the following action:

1. Open your Progress editor.
   
2. Expand the "Tools" menu.
   
3. Drill down to Admin >> Security >> Edit User List.
   
4. Add the desired user to the list.
   
5. Test.

If you do not secure your database with password protection, remove user names and passwords from your client DSN. If the problem persists, Multi-Tier users may need to take the following action:

1. Use a text editor to open the oplrqb.ini file, which you find in the /bin/ sub-directory of your OpenLink server components installation.
   
2. Locate the [generic_proxxx] section which corresponds to your OpenLink database agent. For example:
   
   

   
   [generic_pro82a]
   Program = pro82a_sv.exe
   Environment = PROGRESS82A
   ServerOptions = -q -d mdy -TB 31 -TM 31
   ReUse = never;
   Directory = c:\temp;
   ;ConnectOptions =
   ;ReadOnly =
   ;CommandLine =
   ;Database =
   ;UserID =
   ;Password =
   

   
   
3. Remove any semicolons which appear in front of the UserID and Password parameters. For example:
   
   

   
   UserID =
   Password =
   

   
   
4. Restart or reinitialize your Request Broker to register the changes.
   
5. Test.
