OpenEdge Explorer makes it easy for you to start up and shut down a database in a multi-user environment.

Recall that to start a multi-user database in Proenv, you needed to:

  • Create a parameter file that specifies required startup parameter values.
  • Start multiple brokers, including primary and secondary brokers.
  • Start background processes.

Before you can start a database using OpenEdge Explorer, you must perform the same one-time setup tasks:

  • Add a database to OpenEdge Explorer (including primary broker and background processes).
  • Set database configuration properties (startup parameter values).
  • Set server group properties (secondary brokers).

OpenEdge Explorer then maintains database configurations so that you can easily start up, monitor, manage, and shut down databases.

Next, you will learn how to how to perform each of these tasks.
