Chapter 7: Working in the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Environment in Windows<br />

Reviewing environment variables<br />

By default, the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installation program tailors all the necessary <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Java environment variables to the directories where they are installed. For example,<br />

the installation automatically sets the %DLC% environment variable to your <strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

installation path.<br />

This section briefly reviews some system <strong>and</strong> Java environment variable details of<br />

which you should be aware. Table 41 is a listing of supported environment variables.<br />

System environment variables<br />

The %DLC% environment variable is not set at the system level <strong>and</strong> should not be<br />

changed. After installing <strong>OpenEdge</strong>, however, you can set environment variables to<br />

suit your own preferences. You can use Proenv to set the %DLC% environment variable<br />

to the directory where <strong>OpenEdge</strong> is installed.<br />

Caution: Although editing environment variables is an option, this procedure is not<br />

recommended if more than one version of an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> product exists on<br />

the same system.<br />

For more information on environment variables, see the information on maintaining<br />

user environments in <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Deployment: Managing ABL Applications, or see your<br />

specific product documentation.<br />

Latest information updates<br />

Before you continue, consult <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Release Notes. These notes contain the latest<br />

information about the current release that the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> documentation set might not<br />

include. Progress Software Corporation ships release notes in Microsoft Write<br />

(readme.wri) format. Click the Release Notes icon in your <strong>OpenEdge</strong> program group,<br />

or access Readme.pro with any text editor.<br />

Java environment variables<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> bundles the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component <strong>and</strong> the Java<br />

Development Kit (JDK) component with certain products that you install. For more<br />

information, see the “Java considerations” section on page 44.<br />

Note: <strong>OpenEdge</strong> supports Java version 6.0. For specific information about these<br />

components, see the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> 10 Platform & <strong>Product</strong> Availability Guide on<br />

the Progress Software Corporation Web site<br />
