Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Getting Started

Using the Propath Editor

The PROPATH for your Progress Dynamics session is defined in your icf.ini file. Because you copied the file from your installed version, almost all the directories you need for the tutorial are already listed in the PROPATH. You only need to add the locations of the DynSports database triggers and your working directories.

To add the directories to the tutorial PROPATH:

Choose the PROPATH icon on the PRO*Tools window. The Propath Editor appears:



Choose Add. The Add Directory from Propath dialog box appears.
Type <wrk>\Tutorial\databases in the Directory field, where <wrk> is your Progress Dynamics working directory, as shown:



Choose OK. The new directory is added to the top of the list in the Propath Editor.
Use the Move Down button to place it below the [current directory] entry.
Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 to add <wrk>\Tutorial to the PROPATH, where <wrk> is your Progress Dynamics working directory.
Choose OK to close the Propath Editor. A dialog box appears asking if you want to save the changes in your startup file:



Choose YES to save the new PROPATH to your tutorial’s icf.ini file.
Exit the session and shut down the database servers.

You have completed setting up the environment for the tutorial. In the next chapters, you import information from the application database, generate objects from it, and build your application windows from those objects.
