Creating and configuring an OpenEdge database server
When you create an OpenEdge database, you can either create a new database or convert an existing database:
Use the PRODB command, the Data Administration Tool, or the Data Dictionary to create a new OpenEdge database.
Convert an existing OpenEdge or Progress database to OpenEdge.
For more information on creating databases, see OpenEdge Database Management: Database Administration.
You can also create and configure an OpenEdge database server in Windows.
To use OpenEdge features with a server:
1. From the desktop, choose Start > All Programs > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. Verify that the status for the AdminService for OpenEdge Release is Started.
Note: If Administrative Tools is not available, right click from the Task Bar. Choose Properties, then select the Advanced tab. Select the Display Administrative Tools check box, then choose OK.
2. Use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer Tool to add a database configuration. (You cannot create the physical database with OpenEdge Explorer Tool.)
Note: For more information on the AdminServer and the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, see the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer online help.
Use the PRODB command, the Data Administration Tool, or the Data Dictionary to create a new OpenEdge database.
