OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuration

Configuring OpenEdge Databases
Managing databases
2–4
You can use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to manage your database. You
cannot physically create a database in the management console; however, you can create the
definition of a database so that you can configure, start, stop, or view status for the primary
broker and all auxiliary processes associated with that broker, and view status for the log file for
the database.
Database configuration information is stored in the conmgr.properties file. For a complete list
of how the database properties map to the command-line .pf arguments, see the
conmgr.properties.README. You can locate the README file in the
\properties directory.
A database recognized and managed by the AdminServer is called a managed database. A
database not managed by an AdminServer is called a scripted database. Scripted databases are
administered outside the AdminServer using parameter files (.pf) and operating
system-dependent scripts. You can migrate a scripted database to a managed database.
For details about adding a managed or a scripted database, see OpenEdge Management:
Database Management.
