The Business Entity Designer, Business Entity Tester and Business Entity Browser are started as regular Progress OpenEdge GUI Client programs. |
All three programs require a similar set of startup parameters for the prowin32.exe executable:
Standard startup parameters
As all Progress OpenEdge client startup parameters those parameters may be directly appended to the prowin32.exe shortcut or be stored in a parameter file (.pf file).
| Parameter | Description |

For further details about OpenEdge startup parameters, please refer to the Progress OpenEdge documentation provided by Progress Software.
Customer specific startup parameters
Further startup parameters are required to connect to the development databases which are needed as the source for the schema of designed Business Entities.
Typical database connection parameters include
-db
-H
-S
Please contact your system or database administrator for details about connecting to the databases.
Choosing a working directory for the shortcuts
It is recommended that you choose a common base directory to the directory where the source code and the r-code of the generated business entities will be stored (see later in the section about the preferences for the Business Entity Designer).
