Database Settings

Mode

Specifies whether to start The Edge in Production or Test mode.  If you have not selected a mode, you may be prompted to select a database at login. 

 

Production Settings

Contains a number of options to specify the database and other file locations.  If you expand the Production Settings entry, several options appear.

 

 

•      [Database Type] Database Path:  The database path as specified in the Production Database Settings window.

•      Database Type:  The type of database as indicated by the settings.

•      MemorizedReportPDFPath:  The folder to which memorized report PDFs should be saved.

•      Photopath:  The photo database path as specified in the Production Database Settings window.

•      Shared Data folder:  The path to shared data for synchronization purposes.

•      SQL Database Name:  If MSSQL, the database name.

•      SQL Password:  If MSSQL, the server password.

•      SQL Server Name:  If MSSQL, the server name.

Use the browse icon on the right to access the dialog that allows edits to these fields.

 

Test Settings

Contains the path to the test database.  See above for details.

 

File Locations specifies where The Edge should retrieve and store information.  DatabasePath is used to direct The Edge to use a particular database.  PhotoPath is used to direct The Edge to use a particular image folder.

 

The server computer should have local paths for these locations (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\AJSLLC\EDGE\Edge.mdb) while the workstations should have network paths (e.g., \\[servername]\edge\edge.mdb).
