Viewing or modifying database properties
Viewing or modifying database properties
Each database definition has a set of properties. You can view and modify the properties if you
want to establish new values.
To view or modify the database properties:
1. Click Resources in the management console menu bar. The main resource types appear in
the list frame.
2. In the list frame, browse to and click the desired database. The Database Details page for
the database appears in the detail frame.
3. In the Command and control section of the page, click Configuration. The Database
Configuration page appears.
From the Database Configuration page, you can do the following:
• View a read-only display of the database properties as described in Table 2–1.
• Click Edit to modify the database properties. When you finish, click Save.
• Click the relevant Configuration and Server Group link to access the database
default configuration properties or the database server group properties. For details
about these properties, see the “Viewing the various database configuration
properties” section on page 2–6 and the “Viewing the server group” section on
page 2–20.
• Set OpenEdge Replication Server or Agent properties, if the database is
replication-enabled or if an associated .repl.properties file exists in
the physical database directory. For details, see the “Configuring an OpenEdge
Replication-enabled database” section on page 2–32.

when the AdminServer starts.
