Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Getting Started

Adding an entry to the Windows Services file

When you installed Progress Dynamics, you had to add entries for the NameServer (NS1) and Repository’s database server (icfdb) in the Windows Services file. You must add another line for your application database.

Note: Do not run another Progress Dynamics session at the same time that you are running the tutorial session. To run multiple sessions with different Repositories simultaneously, you would need to set up multiple entries in the Services file to give each Repository its own port.

To add the entry to the Windows Services file:

In a text editor, open your services file, located by default in your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ directory.
Find the lines you created after installing the OpenEdge Studio for your NameServer and Repository database. For example:

NS1   5162/upd
icfdb   8000/tcp

Add a line for the DynSports database on a separate line, for example:

dynsports   3500/tcp

Note: Make sure you choose a port number that is not already assigned to another service. If the startup script ever returns an error because the port is already in use, you must edit the file again to choose another port.
Save and close the file.

Your copy of the DynSports application database is now ready for use in the tutorial.
