Configuring and managing <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers from<br />

Developer Studio<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong> relies on <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers to create and work with <strong>Mobile</strong><br />

services. Before you first start Developer Studio, you might start by configuring these<br />

servers, including any database servers that you need for development. This<br />

description assumes that you use <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer to<br />

maintain your <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers. For more information on these <strong>OpenEdge</strong> tools, see<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management and <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer: Getting Started. When properly<br />

configured, Developer Studio allows you to access these from various views and<br />

menus.<br />

Before configuring and managing <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers from Developer Studio, you need<br />

to configure a connection to <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management.<br />

To configure an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management connection:<br />

1. From the main menu, select Window→ Preferences. The Preferences window<br />

appears.<br />

2. Select the Progress Explorer→ Server→ <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer Connections<br />

node. The <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer Connections page appears.<br />

3. Select the default connection and choose Edit. The Edit Connection Profile<br />

window appears.<br />

4. Modify the configuration settings that you require to access your installation of<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management. Verify, especially, the user name<br />

and password.<br />

5. Choose Test Connection to verify that the connection works, and if necessary,<br />

re-configure the connection (or your <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer) settings until it does so.<br />

6. Once your connection works, choose Create Servers and Finish. This ensures<br />

that Developer Studio is connected to <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer or <strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

Management and all the default <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers, and any others that you have<br />

created. This closes the Edit Connection Profile window.<br />

7. In the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer Connections page, choose OK to close the<br />

Preferences window.<br />

Once you have a working connection established, you can quickly open <strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

Explorer or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management from either the Servers or the Progress<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> Server Monitor view, or from the <strong>OpenEdge</strong>→ Admin menu. Using<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management, you might want to create and<br />

configure any <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers that you need for <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong>.<br />
