Define an OpenEdge database server configuration

Demo

Defining Workspace Database Connections

Note: The OpenEdge Release 10.2B demos have not been updated for OpenEdge Release 11.0. Since 10.2B, OpenEdge Architect has been renamed as Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. In addition, OpenEdge Release 11.0 includes some feature enhancements and other changes. Despite the differences between 10.2B and 11.0, the demos are still a useful introduction to Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.

This page appears when you define the database server configuration when Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge starts. The fields in this dialog apply databases configured locally; use Progress Explorer to configure remote databases.

Note: The information in this dialog is optional. Use Progress Explorer to configure remote databases.
