OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuration

Viewing the server group
Table 2–11: General database server group properties (1 of 2)
Property Description
Service name or port The service name or port number through which clients
may connect to the database.
The default value is 0.
Notes:The service name or port number must represent
a non-zero value in order to start a networked database
broker.
When you define multiple server groups for the same
configuration, you must assign a unique service name
or port number to each server group.
Number of servers The maximum number of server processes that can be
started to service clients.
The default value is 0.
Message buffer size The standard message buffer size in bytes.
OpenEdge uses message buffers to move records
(messages) between servers and remote clients.
Records (plus 40-byte headers) larger than the message
buffer size are fragmented into multiple messages. If
your database records are large, increase this parameter
to avoid record fragmentation.
However, if the network works more efficiently with
small messages, reduce the Message Buffer size value
and fragment larger records.
The default value is set dynamically based on your
platform (UNIX or Windows) and the type of database
(Personal, Workgroup, or Enterprise).
Reporting interval The interval, in minutes, at which the server polls for
license usage statistics that are reported in the usage
report file.
The default value is 1.
