Restarting Progress/ OpenEdge in Sockets Mode
- Log in to the machine that hosts your Progress database, as the progress user.
- Execute the .profile associated with the Progress user.
. ~/.profile
- Navigate to the bin subdirectory of the Progress installation
cd $DLC/bin
- Use the proshut command to shut down the Progress database that you want to restart.
The syntax is:
proshut <db-name>
For example:
proshut sports2000
- Open the machine's /etc/services file in a text editor.
(May require root user privileges.)
- Add an entry in the /etc/services file that pairs your Progress server with any unused port number.
For example:
prosports 5678/tcp # Progress sports2000 service
- Save your changes and exit the file.
- Use the proserve command to restart your database using this syntax:
proserve <db-name> -H <hostname> -S <service-name> -N tcp
e.g.,
proserve sports2000 -H proghost.example.com -S prosports -N tcp
