OpenEdge Getting Started:<br />Installation and Configuration Before you begin

Note these points abut the Progress Dynamics Configuration Utility before you perform the procedures presented in this section:

The DCU completes the installation by building a new icfdb Repository database or by upgrading an existing one from a previous release. (Consult the Release Notes for the most specific details about upgrading to the latest Progress Dynamics release; this step is most important to users who are upgrading from earlier versions of the DCU.)

The DCU does not require the Progress 4GL compiler to run. You can use the DCU to deploy Progress Dynamics to client sites that do not have the compiler installed.

The Progress Dynamics Configuration Utility launches directly after the OpenEdge installation concludes provided the following conditions are met:

You are installing Progress Dynamics as part of the OpenEdge Studio product installation.

During the OpenEdge installation, you selected the Install/upgrade Dynamics repository option on the Progress Dynamics Options dialog box.

After you choose Finish in the InstallShield’s Complete Setup Done dialog box, an OpenEdge session starts up. Then, DCU wizard starts by displaying the Progress Dynamics Configuration Utility—Welcome dialog box.

The DCU performs its work in a progressive and re-entrant fashion. If for any reason the DCU does not complete its work, or if you quit the utility before it has a chance to finish, you can rerun it (from the command line or a shortcut) to complete its work. For more information about the DCU, see OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Administration .
