Unable to find server x with protocol tcp in file services or services file not found...

If you receive "Unable to find server x with protocol tcp" errors, review the parameters which you pass to Progress at startup. For example:

proserve demo.db -S pro82a -N tcp -H saturnus

Specifically, insure that the value passed to the -S parameter appears in your server's /etc/services (UNIX) or %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc\services (Windows) file. For example:

$ grep pro82a /etc/services

pro82a   6791/tcp        # Progress Socket Service

Ensure that the appropriate socket or service name is passed in the ConnectOptions (Multi-Tier) or Database Options (Single-Tier) field of your DSN. For example:

-S pro82a -N tcp -H saturnus

If you use tableview, ensure that the correct value appears in your .pf file. For example:

$ cat tableview.pf

-ld demo
-db /usr/lpp/progress/demo.db
-S pro82a -N tcp -H saturnus
