AdminServer

The AdminServer enables you to configure and manage OpenEdge resources in your installation. By default, it is installed on each Windows or UNIX system where OpenEdge RDBMS is installed.

Here are the key characteristics of the AdminServer:

• The AdminServer works as a high-level management process:

In Windows, it starts automatically when the operating system boots up.

In UNIX, it must be started explicitly.

• OpenEdge resources can be configured to start automatically when the AdminServer starts.
• All OpenEdge resources register with the AdminServer at startup.
• The AdminServer uses a defined TCP/IP port address through which OpenEdge Explorer or OpenEdge Management is used to remotely administer OpenEdge resources.

Before you can use OpenEdge Explorer or OpenEdge Management, you must ensure that the AdminServer is running.
