OpenEdge Getting Started:<br />Installation and Configuration Completing the DCU wizard

This section presents the procedures to complete the Progress Dynamics installation using the Progress Dynamics Configuration Utility (DCU).

Choose Next. The Installation Paths dialog box appears:

Enter the path of the directory where Progress Dynamics is installed.

The Install Path field contains a default entry based on the information you provided when you installed Progress Dynamics.

Enter the path for the DCU log file. The Log File field contains the default pathname.

Choose Next. The Working Paths dialog box appears:

Enter the path information in the Working Path, Source Path, and GUI Path fields. The fields contain default entries based on the information you provided when you installed OpenEdge.

Note: The Working Path must not be under your OpenEdge installation directory. Otherwise, you can lose all of your work during future installs and upgrades of these products. Enter the path of your icfdb database and the database connection parameters.

After you enter the appropriate path information, choose Next. The ICFDB Parameters dialog box appears:

For more information on connection parameters, see OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference .

If you try to use the Create New ICFDB Database option to create a database on a remote machine, you will get an error message. To load the icfdb schema to a remote database, you first need to create the database on the remote machine by starting a client and running the PRODB utility. For more information on the PRODB utility, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .

Caution: If you are upgrading, you should remove the check from both the Create new ICFDB Database and the Load ICFDB Database schema options.

Also note the following if you are upgrading:

If you check only the Create new ICFDB Database option, the DCU automatically loads the database schema as well. The DCU also deletes any database that already exists in the specified icfdb path and creates a new one.

If you check only the Load ICFDB Database schema option, the DCU treats any existing icfdb as if it was empty and loads the schema.

After you enter the appropriate information, choose Next. The ICFDB Patches dialog box appears if you are upgrading:

If this is a new installation, the ICFDB Patches dialog box does not appear and you can go to Step 8.

Review the patch information. The DCU lists which patches are needed to upgrade your database to the latest level. The list will vary depending on what patch level was added to the previous version of your icfdb database. The DCU applies the patches you select patches in the correct order.

After you review the patch information, choose Next. The ICFDB Site Number dialog box appears:

Enter appropriate values in the Site Number, Site Sequence 1, Site Sequence 2, and Session ID fields. For more information, see OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Administration .

If you are upgrading, the DCU transfers sequence values from the previous version of the Repository. Or you can obtain these values from the Set Site Number dialog box. You can access the Set Site Number dialog box from the Progress Dynamics AppBuilder Build menu.

Note: Verify that the Site Sequence 1 value is incremented when you are upgrading. If the Site Sequence 1 value in this installation is less than the value in the previous release, you will get error messages stating that an Object ID is already used.

After you enter the appropriate values, choose Next. The Processing Status dialog box appears:

Caution: If you are upgrading, this is a good time to make a backup of your existing Progress Dynamics configuration. You might want to refer back to your prior configuration. The DCU processing that occurs next is irreversible. You will lose configuration information if you do not make a backup before running the DCU.

Choose Process to start the DCU. The Processing Status dialog box appears:

The appearance of this dialog box indicates which upgrade program is currently running.
