If you choose the database storage option for your models, you must create a model
database on your local machine, or specify a remote database:
Start the Create Component Model Database wizard by either
of two methods:
Select File > New > Other > OpenEdge > Tools for Business Logic > Create Component Model Database.
Select Window > Preferences. In the left pane of the Preferences
window, expand Progress OpenEdge and then
Tools for Business Logic, and select
Component Model Database. Then click
New.
In the Component Model Database dialog, click
New.
Enter a logical name for the database and click
Next.
If creating a new database on your local machine, click Create new
database to make the fields writable.
Note: If specifying a remote database, leave the Create new
database field unchecked, and skip to step 10.
In the Component model database path field, enter the
complete file path to the .db file that you want to create. You can either type
the path and file name; or, click Browse, navigate to the
directory where you want to create the database, enter a file name with a .db
extension, and click Save to insert the path.
Enter a service name or port number for the database server.
Enter any additional parameters for the database server.
If you want the database server to start automatically when you start Progress
Developer Studio for OpenEdge and to stop when you quit, click the check
box.
If you want to create the database with default settings, click
Finish. OpenEdge creates the database, assigning
administrator privileges to your login name, with no password. No projects are
associated with the database. You can associate projects and, if necessary,
change the login values in the Database
Settings dialog.
Click Next if any of the following apply:
You are specifying a remote database.
You want to add a password for the administrator's login to a local
database.
You want to specify projects for which component models will be stored
in the database.
Note: If you clicked Next in the preceding step, you see
fields for database connection settings. Any values that you entered on the
preceding page appear. If you are creating a new local database, you need
not make any changes on this dialog. Your login name is proposed by default
as the DBA user; you can optionally change this User value and/or add a DBA
password. If you specified no values on the preceding page, enter a remote
host name, service name or port number, a valid database user name, and the
user's password if necessary.
Click Finish if you want to create the database without
associating projects, or click Next to specify projects
for which component models will be stored in the database.
If you clicked Next in the preceding step, you see the
Tools for Business Logic Project Association dialog. To
associate all projects with this database, click Add All.
To associate projects selectively, click those projects for which you plan to
store component models, and click Add. Then click
Finish to complete the database creation
process.
Note: Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge does not support the use of
multiple component model databases. You can create only one per
workspace.
