OpenEdge also provides two browser-based tools to perform database administration tasks:

  • OpenEdge Explorer
  • OpenEdge Management

By default, OpenEdge Explorer is installed with OpenEdge RDBMS. You can simply use it.

OpenEdge Management is a superset of OpenEdge Explorer. It is a standalone product. You must have a separate license to install and use it.

Both these tools are available in Windows and UNIX.

In this section, you will learn how to use OpenEdge Explorer to perform most database administration tasks. For those administration tasks that can only be performed in OpenEdge Management, you will learn how to perform them using OpenEdge Management.
