Description

Setting up a new OpenEdge Database in the development workspace within Gitpod requires careful configuration, including the creation of a definition file to specify the database parameters.

How to use it

Prerequisites

• Get a Progress OpenEdge schema and data df/st files
• setup files and folders to hold the database files

1. Setup folders and files

• create folder src/backend/DB/<dbname>
• within
• upload <dbname>.df file (mandatory schema)
• upload <dbname>.st file (optional data, but it’s a mandatory file)
• add default param.pf, with content
Copy

-d dmy -yy 1950 -numsep 46 -numdec 44

2. Make workspace aware

• add missing config for new db assure ports do not overlap with other use
• OpenEdge Config: /openedge-project.json
Copy

{
      "name": "<dbname>",
      "connect": "-db <dbname>-H localhost -S 30002 -ld <dbname>",
      "dumpFile": "/build-one/swat/backend/DB/<dbname>/<dbname>.df",
      "aliases": []
    }

• Docker Workspace /.build/compose/workspace.docker-compose.yml
Copy
• Apply changes
• b1 down
• b1 up
• Validate a new container came up, named like
Copy

gitpod-<dbname>_db_server-1

• Commit and push all changes to make it available to everyone.

3. Adding an additional DB to the repo

For that follow the steps above and additional add the following in /.build/compose/workspace.docker-compose.yml (Adjusting the variable <NAME_OF_DB1> with the corresponding names)

4. Add the db to the CircleCI script

• Add the following code to the build.xml
Copy

<PCTCreateBase destDir="${tempdir}" dbName="${MYDB.name}" schemaFile="${MYDB.schemaFile}" structFile="${MYDB.structFile}" multiTenant="true"/>


<DBConnection dbName="MYDB" dbDir="${tempdir}" readOnly="true"/>

• Add the following code to the project-settings.xml
Copy

<property name="backend.dblist" value="smartdb,it4main,MYDB"/>

If you want to add the selfhdls to your DB please see Build.One GUID: selfhdl and OE-DB Table-Definition files
