Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Getting Started

Modifying the shortcuts

Next, you modify the original scripts and shortcuts to start your tutorial environment, rather than your standard work environment.

Modifying the development startup shortcut

To modify the shortcut:

Right-click the Dynamics Development shortcut and choose Properties on the pop-up menu.
On the General tab, type Dynamics Tutorial Development as its name.
On the Shortcut tab, type the following in the Target field:

<install-dir>\bin\prowin32.exe -p icfstart.p -pf icf.pf -ini icf.ini -icfparam ICFSESSTYPE=ICFDEV,ICFCONFIG=icfconfig.xml

Where <install-dir> is your OpenEdge installation directory.

Note: The ICFDEV session type contains the necessary configuration to start up Progress Dynamics in development mode locally. You will learn about session types and controlling your application environment with them later in the tutorial.
Type “<wrk>\Tutorial” in the Start in field, where <wrk> is your Progress Dynamics working directory.
Note: The quotation marks prevent problems if there are spaces in the directory names.
Choose OK.

Modifying the database server startup shortcut

To modify the shortcut:

Select the Start Dynamics DB Servers shortcut and choose Properties on the pop-up menu.
On the General tab, type Start Tutorial DB Servers as its name.
On the Shortcut tab, type startdbs.bat in the Target field.
Note: Because you copied the files to your working directory, you do not need the full path to the file.
Type “<wrk>\Tutorial” in the Start in field.
Choose OK.

Modifying the database server shutdown shortcut

To modify the shortcut:

Select the Stop Dynamics DB Servers shortcut and choose Properties on the pop-up menu.
On the General tab, type Stop Tutorial DB Servers as its name.
On the Shortcut tab, type stopdbs.bat in the Target field.
Type “<wrk>\Tutorial” in the Start in field.
Choose OK.
