Create a Progress OpenEdge Repository

Creating a Progress OpenEdge database is fully documented in the product information provided with your OpenEdge installer.

Having created your OpenEdge database, use the SQL script (OpenEdge_EASchema.sql) provided by Sparx Systems to create the required table definitions for Enterprise Architect. You can obtain the script from the Sparx Systems website, on the:

•Registered Corporate edition Resources page (Registered users)
•Corporate edition Resources page (Trial users)

Create the repository

Step

Action

1

From the Windows Start menu, run proenv in OpenEdge; that is: Start | Programs | OpenEdge | proenv.

 

2

Create the database:

prodb <database_name> empty

 

3

Start the database server:

proserve <database_name> -S <port_number>

 

4

Open Data Administration to add users:

 

prowin32 -db <database_name> -S <port_number> -p _admin -rx
 

The Database Administration dialog displays.

 

5

Select Admin | Security | Edit User List and set up one or more user IDs from the Edit User List dialog, as follows:
 

1.  Click on the Add button; the Add User dialog displays.
2.  Complete the User ID, User Name and Password fields, and click on the OK button; the Password Verification dialog displays.
3.  Verify the password and click on the OK button; the Edit User List dialog redisplays.
4.  Repeat the process for the next user or, if finished, click on the OK button; the Database Administration dialog redisplays.

 

6

Close Database Administration (Database | Exit).

 

7

On the proenv command prompt, type:

 

sqlexp -user <user id> -password <password> -db <database_name> -S <port_number>

 

The SQLExplorer> prompt displays.

 

8

Grant privileges to the administrator user:

 

SQLExplorer>grant dba, resource to oe_user;

SQLExplorer>commit;

SQLExplorer>exit

 

9

Execute the OpenEdge_EASchema.sql script, with the following command:

 

sqlexp -user oe_user -password sparx  -db <path\to\database> -S <port_number> -infile <path\to\OpenEdge_EASchema.sql>

 

 

After creating a Progress OpenEdge data repository in Enterprise Architect, you must set up the Progress OpenEdge ODBC driver.
