Databases tab (Application)
The Databases tab in the Progress OpenEdge Application section of the Configurations wizard lets you specify the OpenEdge database connections used by an ABL application launch configuration. See Progress OpenEdge Application settings for information about accessing the wizard.
The Databases tab functions like the Database Connections page in the Project Properties dialog, with two additional controls (Use project database connections and Show from project) available:
Control

(Required) Specifies the name of the launch configuration, which appears on menus and in the left pane of the Configurations wizard.
