If two or more people need to use the same model database that is located on a remote host, exporting and importing the settings simplifies the process of setting up connection parameters and project associations on multiple machines.

  1. To export database information:
    1. Define the remote connection parameters, and optionally the project associations, as explained in Create a model database page.
    2. Select Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Tools for Business Logic > Component Model Database.
    3. Click Export.
    4. At the Export Component Database file browser, navigate to the location where you want to save the exported setting, enter a file name with a .xml extension, and click Save.
      Note: Other developers can then import the exported settings.
  2. To import exported database settings:
    1. Select Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Tools for Business Logic > Component Model Database.
    2. Click Import.
    3. At the Import Component Database file browser, navigate to the location of the exported .xml file. Select the file and click Open.
