How to connect to open edge data base using .pf file?

I'm new to open edge progress ABL. How to connect to the open edge database using .pf file

Solution

  • The PF file is a simple text file with all relevant database connection parameters, e.g.

    -db c:\full\path\to\database

    or

    -db databasename (no .db)
-H hostname or IP address
-S portnumber or portname

    Then you start the client with

    prowin -pf pffile.pf
prowin32 -pf pffile.pf
_progres -pf pffile.pf
