You specify the local database path name and the local database port when you initially configure OpenEdge Management. (These initial configuration steps are described in Set Up OpenEdge Management for the First Time. However, you can also specify them using the OpenEdge Management Trend Database Configuration page.

To change trend database configuration settings:

  1. From the OpenEdge Management console, click Options.
    The OpenEdge Management options and configuration page appears.
  2. Click Trend Database.
    The OpenEdge Management Trend Database Configuration page appears and displays the current trend database settings.
  3. In the Trend database location field, specify the location for the trend database.
    You can either use the predefined explicit path where the trend database is located by default, or type a different path to the database. For example, C:\Progress\oemgmt\work\fathomdb\fathom.db. Note that the inclusion of the .db extension in the path name is optional.
    OpenEdge Management provides a backup of the default trend database fathom.bak in the $OEMgmt\db directory. If you specify a location other than the default trend database location, OpenEdge Management extracts that backup and places it in the location you specified.

    If you already have a trend database placed in the specified location, OpenEdge Management uses that trend database.

    Alternatively, you can either copy the OpenEdge Management trend database fathom.db to the specified location using the procopy or prodb command, or restore the trend database backup fathom.bak to the specified location using the prorest command.
  4. In the Trend database port field, type the database port number. For example, 1234.
  5. Enter the user name and password in the Trend database user and Trend database password fields, respectively.
  6. Click SUBMIT.
Note: If the local AdminServer is offline, all the Trend database configuration fields are disabled.
