Database settings
The Database Settings dialog shows the current information about the name, location, connection parameters, and project associations of the component model database, if defined, and lets you make changes to these settings. This dialog appears when you select Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Tools for Business Logic > Component Model Database > Database Settings.
Settings appear on three tabs: Database information, Connection information, and Projects.
