OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuration

Creating a NameServer
Creating a NameServer
OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer provide a sample configuration NameServer
instance (NS1) that it uses as a default.
You can create two types of NameServer instance:
• Local — Where the instance definition resides on, and the NameServer itself executes on,
the selected host.
• Remote — Where the instance definition is a reference to a NameServer that resides and
executes on a machine that is remote from the selected host.
To create a NameServer:
1. Click Resources in the management console menu bar. The main resource types appear in
the list frame.
2. In the Details frame, click New Resource Monitor. The New Resource Monitor page
appears.
3. Click NameServer. The NameServer Configuration page appears.
4. Type the name of the new NameServer in the field provided.
Note: The NameServer name is case sensitive and can include any character except a
period (.) or square brackets ([ ]). The name must be unique among all configured
NameServer names.
5. Click Save. The NameServer Configuration page appears, allowing you to configure the
NameServer’s properties. (For details about the properties, see Table 4–1.)
Once you create a NameServer instance, you cannot change the location setting unless you
delete and recreate the instance.
Note: If you are defining a remote NameServer instance, set its host name and port
number properties to reference a NameServer that is defined as a local NameServer
on some other machine in your network. For details, see the “Configuring remote
instances” section on page 4–10.
