There are 3 main ways to get OpenEdge data -- one is the OpenEdge Service Object, but that goes to ABL Business Entities running on the AppServer. From the title of the question, you seem to want to get database records directly. It that is the case then the two options are: 1) If the database is 'on-premise', but you want to use Rollbase hosted cloud at pacific.progress.com, then you need to use the OpenEdge On-Premise Data Source, and create objects in Rollbase from DataDirect Cloud objects. 2) Typically, it is more common to instead use "External Database Tables" in Rollbase and hook directly to the OpenEdge database. For this you are required to have Rollbase and OpenEdge installed on the same machine (so you cannot have a hosted Rollbase). You must have a pre-existing OpenEdge 11.3.2 license and then install your Rollbase metadata into that database. You should see Appendix C in Rollbase In Action to learn about "External Database Tables", and then look at the on-premise install which contains instructions for connection to an existing OE DB.
