The _Servers VST displays status of each OpenEdge server running on the system, including the server number, process ID, and type; the protocol used; the number of logins and current users; the maximum number of users; and the server's port number.
If the server is a broker (_Server-Pid = _Server-Broker-Pid), then the _SrvParam* fields contain the values of the broker-specific startup parameters.
You can use this VST to query and change the startup parameters for secondary login brokers. For an example, see Change database parameters while the database is running in Optimize the OpenEdge Database for Continuous Operation.
