Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Software required to run OpenEdge products or components

Some OpenEdge products and/or components depend on the presence of other software or software elements to run as designed. These elements might be required either before you perform and OpenEdge installation or concurrent with the OpenEdge install you perform.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

If you are installing a product that contains Progress Explorer or ProxyGen, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer (MS IE) Version 4.01 or later installed on your system to use the graphical administrative tools. If you do not have MS IE Version 4.01 or later, you will receive a warning message during the installation that tells you to install MS IE Version 4.01 or later. You can obtain information about acquiring or upgrading to MS IE Version 4.01 or later from the Microsoft Web site. You can continue with the installation after viewing this message, but neither ProxyGen nor the Progress Explorer graphical administrative tools will be functional.

Open Client Toolkit component

If you plan to install a product that contains ProxyGen, you might need to install and configure additional tools to allow the Open Client Proxy Generator (ProxyGen) to build proxies. For more information, see the chapter on configuration and deployment in OpenEdge Development: Open Client Introduction and Programming .

OpenEdge SQL

The installation program does not automatically install the JDK component when you install any of these products: the OpenEdge Enterprise RDBMS, the OpenEdge Workgroup RDBMS, or when you install the OpenEdge Workgroup RDBMS with the OpenEdge SQL Client Access. If you intend to develop Java stored procedures and Java triggers for your database, you must install an OpenEdge development product such as OpenEdge Studio. For information on writing Java stored procedures and triggers, see OpenEdge Data Management: SQL Development and OpenEdge Data Management: SQL Reference .

OpenEdge SQL ODBC and JDBC Clients

The OpenEdge SQL ODBC and JDBC Clients are components of the OpenEdge Personal RDBMS, Workgroup RDBMS, and Enterprise RDBMS products. They can be downloaded, using the OpenEdge SQL Client Access product, from the Progress Software Corporation Web site at http://www.progress.com/esd.
