Ensure that the connection parameters in the Auto-Connect record match the parameters used when starting the database.
Auto-Connect list can be accessed via
Data Administration > Utilities > Edit PROGRESS Auto-Connect List
Auto-Connect is a Progress feature that uses information stored in a primary application database (popo) to connect to a second application database (papa). This
occurs when data from the second database is referenced in a compiled application at run time. The primary application database contains the database connection information for the second database. It must already be connected before Progress can execute the auto-connect for the second application database. Progress executes an auto-connect immediately prior to running a pre-compiled procedure that accesses a database on the auto-connect list.
Example:
1. prodb papa sports
2. prodb popo sports
3. proserve papa
4. proserve popo
5. Add the Auto-Connect information from popo to papa:
$ prowin32 popo -p _admin.p
Data Administration > Utilities > Edit OpenEdge Auto-Connect List...
Databases: papa
Physical Name: <fullpath>\papa
CONNECT-Statement Parameters: -S 6464
6. prowin32 -db papa -db popo connects self-service to each database.
7. prowin32 -db popo -db papa returns the 1432 or 704:
** Could not connect to server for database papa, errno 0. (1432)
** There is no server active for database papa on -H <hostname> -S 6464. (704)
8. If papa is restarted with -S 6464 to match the Auto-Connect parameters, then prowin32 -db sports2 -db sports1 connects ok
