Configuring the DataServer

You do not have to provide any additional connection information. You can add
connection parameters when you create the data source or edit connection information
later. See the online help for a complete description of the Connect Database dialog box.

Creating a schema holder
This section addresses the steps needed to create a schema holder.
To create the schema holder:
1. From the Data Administration main menu, select DataServer→ MS SQL Server
Utilities→ Create DataServer Schema. The following dialog box appears:
2. In the Logical Database Name field, type the name that you will use to connect to your
data source and refer to it in your programming applications. This name must be different
from the schema holder name. For more information on database names, see the database
access chapter in OpenEdge Getting Started: ABL Essentials.
Note: If you place the schema from a second MS SQL Server database into a schema
holder, the second schema must have a different logical database name from the
first schema. The schema holder has one physical name, but each schema that it
contains must have a different logical name.
3. In the Code Page field, type the name of the code page for the schema holder. The name
must be the OpenEdge name for the code page that the data source uses. The default is
iso8859–1. If you choose UTF-8 as your schema image code page, your schema holder’s
code page must also be UTF-8.
