PAS for OpenEdge Lite is a limited version of the PAS for OpenEdge production server. The two products are identical, both architecturally and functionally, but PAS for OpenEdge Lite has the following limitations compared to the PAS for OpenEdge production server:
  • An instance can have only one ABL application deployed to it—this is enforced by the product. There is, however, no limit to the number of instances that you can create or to the number of ABL web applications that you can deploy to an ABL application.
  • Each instance can have only one multi-session agent—this is enforced at startup.
  • A multi-session agent can have up to five concurrent connections (requests) only—this is enforced at runtime. For the session-free application model, the maximum number of concurrent sessions is five. For the session-managed application model, at any given point in time, a maximum of five concurrent sessions can be handled, though there is no session count limit.

If your application load demands more than 5 concurrent connections, you can set up additional PAS for OpenEdge Lite instances. Each instance requires its own license—you must not use a single license across multiple instances. To distribute throughput across your instances, set up PAS for OpenEdge load balancing.

Note:
  • During a Software Asset Management (SAM) audit, if a customer is found to have set up multiple PAS for OpenEdge Lite instances using a single paid license, the customer will be regarded as non-compliant.
  • PAS for OpenEdge Lite does not include OpenEdge Authentication Gateway.
