Use this window to select where the source database is replicated to. Because Pro2 replicates data to a database on your behalf, you must provide the user name, password, and other types of identifying information for the target database in the following fields.
| Field name | Description |
|---|---|
| Target Database Name | This field indicates the name of the target database. |
| Target Database Type | Use this field to designate what type of database your target database is. |
| Target Schema Image |
The Target Schema Image is a generated SQL or Progress text file that, depending on the target database type, creates tables on the target database which mirror the source database. |
| Schema Holder Database |
Schema holder is a separate Progress database that does not hold any data. However a schema is created by pulling the definitions from the target database. This enables mapping between the source and target database, even if the target is a SQL server or Oracle database. |
| Target Open Database Connectivity |
The target ODBC connection is configured through the Windows ODBC setup tool. After it is defined in windows, parameters are added to a .pf file which enables a connection to the target database with the parameters that you define. |
| User Name | The user name for the target database. |
| Password | The password for the target database. |
