Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

> ## Editing Progress Dynamics files

> If you connect to the Progress Dynamics Repository database over a network, you must edit your services file to specify the service name and a port number for the `icfdb` Repository database.

> | To edit your services file:

> 1. In a text editor, open your `services` file. By default, the `services` file is in the `C:\WINNT\System32\drivers\etc\`directory. (In Windows XP Professional, the directory is `C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\`.)

> 2. Assign port numbers, using the following format:

>     service_name   port_number/tcp

> The `service_name` is the name you specify with the `-S` parameter when you start the database. The `port_number` is a unique four-digit number (one that is not already assigned to another service in the file). For example:

>     icfdb   8000/tcp

> 3. Add an additional line for each of your application databases, using a unique service name and a unique port number for each one.

> 4. Save and close the `services` file.

> Caution: You cannot start two Repositories if both have the same service name (`icfdb` for example). If you need to run more than one Repository database, each version must have a different service name and a different port number.
