Progress version 7.3e on both machines.
1 machine running HP Unix and I think the other one is a Sun.
I need to write some programs that prompt a user for some information, then update 2 separate Progress databases on 2 different machines.
The user will have already logged on to one database, so I just need to clearly understand the process of how to connect to the database on the other machine. I've read the manuals but am still not sure what is all involved. I want to make sure I do it the right way so if one of the machines crashes, the databases will be recoverable.
From what I understand, information needs to be added to the /etc/hosts, etc/services, and etc/SomethingElseICantRememberRightNow.
Then using the CONNECT statement I should be able to do what I need as long as I qualify the fields as dbname.filename.fieldname. I'm sure I am missing somethings. Thanks for any help you can give.
ProgressTalk is a great forum! Good Job!
