Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Requirements for DataServers in Progress Dynamics

When you use a DataServer in a Progress Dynamics application, you must plan for it in your application’s design. In general, Progress 4GL code that runs against a DataServer can also run against a OpenEdge database. Exceptions are code that makes calls unique to the non-OpenEdge database, such as to access stored procedures.

The framework requires a Repository database. While the data that your application uses can be in a non-OpenEdge database accessed by an OpenEdge DataServer, the Repository must be an OpenEdge database.
