You can start the DataServer broker, using various methods supported by the Unified Broker Framework, including:

  • OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer or mergeprop utility (for a Unified Broker)
  • The command line (for a probroker)

The following example shows how to perform this step from the command line. For information about using the mergeprop utility, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration. For information about using OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, see Starting and stopping a broker process from OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer and connecting a client, and see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.

To start a DataServer broker from the command:

  1. Choose All Programs > OpenEdge > Proenv.

    The proenv prompt appears.

  2. Type the following example command line to start the DataServer broker: 
     _probrkr -H hostname -S brokerservice -N tcp

    The values for hostname and brokerservice must be unique.

    For more details about using either OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer or the command line to start a unified broker process for the DataServer, see Configuring a remote DataServer.
