Connecting to Progress OpenEdge
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2018 4:42 am
We're looking at Servoy as a means to create a new front end to our Progress OpenEdge application. I had a demo with Jan at the ProgressNext conference this year, and he said there are three ways to connect to Progress data: through REST, through ABL, or direct to the database. I've only done a little playing, but so far I can't seem to figure out how to do any of these.
Environment:
My laptop / development environment is Windows 10 64-bit.
I am using OpenEdge 11.7.3 with PAS. I have the SQL/JDBC driver installed.
I have Servoy 8.3.0.3203
I'll admit I haven't done a thorough read of the Servoy documentation; I've no doubt the answers are in there. But before I invest a lot of time in learning the product, I would like to see it in action and play around a bit. Searching the forums and docs for connections to OpenEdge leads me to fairly old threads which refer to OpenEdge jar files that I don't have on my system (such as jdbc.jar, base.jar, and util.jar)
I suspect I am missing something obvious, and I would appreciate any pointers as to the right places to read. If there is any cookbook-style example, that would be great! I have an opportunity to show off our work this weekend, and I am hoping to show a bit of Servoy if I can....
Thanks,
Phil
