OpenEdge Development: Translation Manager
Getting Started : Connecting to the application databases
 
Connecting to the application databases
The Translation Manager tool must compile the source procedures when it prepares translation data. Therefore, you must have read access to the databases that the source procedures use, and you must connect to those databases.
You can connect to the application databases on the command line when you start OpenEdge from the Data Dictionary or Data Administration tools, or from the Translation Manager tool.
To connect to databases from the Translation Manager tool:
1. Choose the Database Connect button or choose FileDatabase Connections. The Database Connections dialog box appears.
2. Choose Connect. The Connect Database dialog box appears.
3. Type the name of the database or choose Browse to select a database, then choose OK. The Translation Manager adds the database to the list in the Database Connections dialog box.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you have connected all the necessary databases, then choose Close to return to the main window.
