Progress Application Server integration

Progress Application Server is a platform that provides Web server support for Progress applications. Progress applications are packaged as Web application archives (WAR files) and deployed to the Java Servlet Container of a running instance of PAS. Client access to a PAS is through HTTP/HTTPS protocols. Clients include (but are not limited to) browser-based applications and Mobile Apps.
Progress Application Server for OpenEdge is a Web application server based on the Apache Tomcat Web server and servlet container. Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge now provides an environment to add Progress Application Server for OpenEdge instances to the Servers view. You can also control the state of a Progress Application Server for OpenEdge and deploy applications onto a Progress Application Server that is configured and selected in the Servers view.
For more information, see the Progress Application Server for OpenEdge help.

Support for creating partitioned tables

Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge now lets you to create a partitioned table (with local indexes) without any partition policies defined on it. This support is only available to a connected OpenEdge database that is enabled for table partitioning. After creating the partitioned table, you can use OpenEdge Management, OpenEdge Explorer, or OpenEdge SQL to define partition policies on it.
For more information, see the DB Navigator help.
