The Startup preference page displays the default OpenEdge ABL Virtual Machine (AVM) startup parameters and the port number range.

Select Window > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog. In the tree view, expand Progress OpenEdge and select Startup to open the Startup preference page.

The following options are available on the Startup preference page:

Lower Port Number, Upper Port Number Specifies the range of ports on which Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge can establish a connection with Eclipse. One port is used for each concurrent Eclipse session in which one or more OpenEdge tools are run. No changes to this port range should be necessary.
Default startup parameters Specifies any appropriate parameters for running the OpenEdge AVM.

You can override or append to these parameters on a per-project basis on the OpenEdge properties page(Project>Properties>OpenEdge).

You can also override or append to these parameters on the Shared AVM preferences page (Window>Preferences>Shared OpenEdge AVM).

Note: Do not specify database connections as startup parameters. Use the Database Connections page for this purpose.

You can use a parameter file by including -pf parameter_file_path. Use a full path statement to avoid problems if multiple projects use the default parameters. A relative path statement is interpreted relative to the project working directory, which is usually different for each project.
PAS for OpenEdge Specifies the default PAS for OpenEdge.
Start PAS for OpenEdge automatically Starts the default PAS for OpenEdge when you start Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
