MPRO command

Starts a multi-user mode character OpenEdge client session.

Syntax

mpro [ db-name][parameters]

Parameters

db-name

Specifies the database to which you want to connect. If you are connecting to a database through shared memory and the database is not in your current directory, you must specify the path of the database. On the other hand, if you are making a client/server connection to the database, you do not need to specify a path.

parameters

Specifies the startup parameters you want to use.

Notes

• The mpro command runs the following executable:

  _progres

• The server must be running before you issue this command with the db-name parameter. If the server is not running, OpenEdge displays the following error message:

  There is no server for database db-name (1423)
