You can create an OpenEdge Data Object project and customize the options for Data Object services development.
To create an OpenEdge project specialized for Data Object Service development:
1. On the Progress Developer Studio main menu, select File > New > OpenEdge Project.
The New OpenEdge Project wizard appears.
2. In the Project name field, enter the name, MyDataObject for your Data Object project.
3. Keep the location for the project, Use default location check box (which is selected by default).
Selecting Use default location creates the root folder for the new project in your current workspace.
4. From the Project type configuration drop-down list, select Data Object.
5. Click Next. The Select AVM and layout options page appears.
6. Retain the OpenEdge AVM options and the Project layout options as the default settings.
7. Click Next. The Define AppServer content module page appears.
8. In the Module name field, enter the name for the AppServer module. The default is the project name (MyDataObject).
9. In the AppServer source folder field, enter a name of the AppServer module content directory. The default is a folder named AppServer. Use the default value.
10. From the Supported servers list, select a broker (restbroker1) that will be the destination for publishing your AppServer application service files. The primary function of these servers is to support publishing your code for running, testing, and deploying your Data Object service.
Note: Data Object projects can be deployed only to traditional servers not PAS for OpenEdge.
11. Select the Publish changes immediately check box if you want Data Object services to be updated on the Web server immediately after changes are saved.
12. Click Next. The New Data Object Service page appears.
13. The Create a Data Object service check box to create a default Data Object service for the Data Object project and associate the Data Object service with the OE Web Server instances is selected by default. Keep it.
14. Click Next. The Define PROPATH page appears.
15. Retain the default settings for the PROPATH entries to be used by the project.
16. Click Next. The Select database connections page appears.
17. Select the database connection to be used by the project, in this case Sports2000.
18. Click Next. The Static Web Project page appears.
19. Click Finish.
You will see the OpenEdge Data Object project created in the Project Explorer view. Open the OpenEdge Data Object project in the OpenEdge Server perspective. On successful creation of an OpenEdge Data Object project, the AppServer, REST, Progress Adapters, JavaScript, Data Object, and Static Web Module facets are associated for a Data Object project. The Project Facets page displays the facets associated with the Data Object project that you just created. For more information, see the page.
