PROGRESS ODBC Setup
Configuring a PROGRESS Data Source

Data Source Name:  A string that identifies this PROGRESS data source configuration in ODBC.INI.  Examples include "Accounting" or "PROG-Serv1."

Description:  An optional long description of a data source name.  For example, "My Accounting Database" or "PROGRESS on Server number 1."

Database Name:  The name of the database to which you want to connect by default.

The following values are optional:

Logon Options:  The startup options.  The format for specifying these options is

[-db database] [-u userid] [-p password] [-1]

Use the -1 option (note that this is the number 1) to access a local database.

Alternatively, you can specify these options in a parameter file.  In this case, you need not specify startup options here; instead, you specify the parameter filename in the Parameter File field.

Default User Name:  The default user name used to connect to your PROGRESS database.  A user name is required only if security is enabled on your database.  Your ODBC application may override this value or you may override this value in the logon dialog box or connection string.

Parameter File:  The name of the parameter file that contains the logon options.  See also the description of the Logon Options field.

Translate: Displays the Select Translator dialog box to allow you to perform a translation of your data from one character set to another. Choose the INTERSOLV OEM ANSI translator to translate your data from the IBM PC character set to the ANSI character set.


Logon to PROGRESS

Database Name:  Type the name of the database to which you want to connect.

User Name:  If required, type your user name.

Password:  If required, type your password.


PROGRESS Logon Options

Parameter File:  If the options are stored in a parameter file, type its name in this box. The options are read from that file. To display the options from the file, move to the Logon Options box.

Logon Options:  Define or modify a parameter file's logon options in this box.

To access more than one database at a time, you must specify all the database names.  The format is

[-db database] [-u userid] [-p password] [-1]

 Use the -1 option (note that this is the number 1) to access a local database.

If you change the options and click OK, the modified options are saved to the parameter file.  You can click Cancel and not save the changes to the file, but the options you specified will not be used for this connection.
