To create a PAS for OpenEdge instance:

  1. In the OpenEdge Command Center console, click the PASOE instances tab.

    The console displays a screen that lists all PAS for OpenEdge instances that are associated with all currently configured OpenEdge Command Center agents.

  2. Click New.

    The New PAS Instance screen is displayed. Use this screen to specify the following details:

    In the following field . . . . . . do the following
    Instance Name Specify a name for the PAS for OpenEdge instance. This is a mandatory field.
    Note: The PAS for OpenEdge instance name is case-sensitive. It can include any character except periods (.) or square brackets ([ ]). The name must be unique among all configured PAS for OpenEdge instance names.
    OpenEdge Installation Use the drop-down box to select the OpenEdge installation that corresponds to the PAS for OpenEdge instance that you want to create.
    Labels Use the drop-down box to select one or more labels, or create one or more new labels to assign.
    Security Model Specify one of the following security models:
    • Production

      If you select this model, you can make configuration changes to adjust security settings to ensure your application operates correctly in a production instance.

    • Developer

      Developer mode minimizes or eliminates any accessibility restrictions, so a developer can quickly use the product “out of the box” to develop, test, and debug applications.
    Instance Directory Specify the path of the PAS for OpenEdge instance.
    Note: If you do not provide the path of the instance directory, the PAS for OpenEdge instance is created in the working directory set during OpenEdge installation. The name of the instance is used as the name of the directory where the PAS for OpenEdge installation is created. The directory must not already exist (either when provided, or when using the default location).
    HTTP Port Specify an unused port number to be associated with the PAS for OpenEdge instance HTTP port. By default, this is set to 8080.
    Note: Each new PAS for OpenEdge instance that you create uses the default configuration. However, the port number must be unique for each PAS for OpenEdge instance for the instance to operate properly. If you specify a port number that is used by another PAS for OpenEdge instance, you are prompted to confirm whether you want to use the port number.
    HTTPS Port Specify an unused port number associated with the PAS for OpenEdge instance HTTPS port. By default, this is set to 8443.
    Note: If you specify a port number that is used by another PAS for OpenEdge instance, you are prompted to confirm whether you want to use the port number.
    Shutdown Port Specify an unused port number for shutdown. If you are creating a PAS for OpenEdge instance on a Windows machine, this is a mandatory field.
    Note: If you specify a port number that is used by another PAS for OpenEdge instance, you are prompted to confirm whether you want to use the port number.
    Login Enter the login ID of the Apache Tomcat Manager web application that hosts the PAS for OpenEdge instance. If you are using the Apache Tomcat Web server shipped with OpenEdge, then the default login ID is tomcat.
    Password Enter the password of the Apache Tomcat Manager web application that hosts the PAS for OpenEdge instance. If you are using the Apache Tomcat Web server shipped with OpenEdge, then the default password is tomcat.
  3. If you want to start the PAS for OpenEdge instance immediately after creating it, make sure that the Start PAS instance after it is created is enabled.
  4. To enable online deployment of ABL applications for your PAS for OpenEdge instance, select the 'Deploy Manager application to enable online deployment' option. If you select the option for a developer instance of PAS for OpenEdge, all web applications, such as manager and oemanager, are deployed. If you select the option for a production instance of PAS for OpenEdge, only the Manager web application is deployed. OpenEdge Command Center uses the Manager application to load the application deployment status in PAS for OpenEdge.
  5. Click Create PAS Instance.
