Starting the Data Server - Novell

Do the following to start the data server:

1.  Move to the host server console

2.  Enter load pro5srv along with any of the following optional command line switches:

   Switch	Description
   -cconfigfile	Specifies a configuration filename and path to override the config.bbx file contained in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
   -llogfile	Specifies a log file path and filename to override the default log file created by the -r option.
   -r	Enables the logging function, which is helpful for debugging and security audits. It creates a text file named SYS:PRO5LOG (unless overridden by the -l option) and logs all Data Server activities. This file must be periodically cleared because it is never cleared by the Data Server.
   -s	Directs the Data Server to log to the console screen.

Using the Data Server to Access Remote Files

From the client console, use the PRO/5 OPEN verb to access a remote file. For example, the following opens the /etc/passwd file on the accounts host server:

open (1) "/<accounts>/etc/passwd"

All controls that use pictures (image, imagelist, and tool buttons) use the standard file system OPEN, as does the printer device 'BITMAP' mnemonic. Cursors and icons use Windows APIs.
