OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuration

Introduction
Getting started
1–4
This guide provides details about how to use OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer
to configure OpenEdge resources.
For introductory information about using the OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer
console, see OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Getting Started.
Comparing OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge
Explorer
OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer are packaged with OpenEdge and no longer
require a separate installation; however, OpenEdge Management still requires a separate
license. When OpenEdge Management is licensed, the OpenEdge Explorer functionality is
included.
OpenEdge Explorer is also installed with the same products that include a Progress Explorer
installation. If you did not purchase OpenEdge Management, however, its options are grayed
out and unavailable in the management console when you are using OpenEdge Explorer.
In general, the settings you can establish and the options you can access when using OpenEdge
Management and OpenEdge Explorer are determined both by the platform you are using and
the products that you are licensed to use. If you notice that a particular link is dimmed in the
OpenEdge Explorer console and not available for modification, it is because that link has no
meaning within your operating environment or your licensed configuration.
Note: The settings (properties) for most of the resources managed by OpenEdge
Management and OpenEdge Explorer (except for OpenEdge databases) are stored in
the ubroker.properties file installed with OpenEdge. These properties are stored as
name-value pairs. The names of these properties shown in OpenEdge Management and
OpenEdge Explorer are long forms of the short names for the same properties stored
in the ubroker.properties file. For more information about this file, see OpenEdge
Getting Started: Installation and Configuration. For information on property storage
for OpenEdge databases, see the “Database configuration and administration” section
on page 2–2.
Feature comparison
Table 1–2 provides a comparison between the functionality available to you if you have
