In Windows, the AdminServer automatically starts up as a service. To ensure that the AdminServer is running, start the Windows Task Manager and select the Services tab. The status of Progress OpenEdge AdminServer Service should be Running. In case the service is not running, right-click the service and then click Start Service.

In UNIX, you use the PROADSV utility to start, stop, and query the AdminServer. You must have root or super user privileges to execute this command. The syntax for using PROADSV is:

proadsv –start|-stop|-query –port port-number|port-name

Where:

port-number

The number of the port on which the AdminServer is running.The default port number is 20931.

port-name

The name of the port on which the AdminServer is running.

Note: You should automate the task of starting the AdminServer by using a UNIX shell script.

Suppose you want to start the AdminServer in UNIX. Enter:

proadsv –start –port 20931

To determine if the AdminServer is running, enter:

proadsv –query –port 20931
