OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer are packaged with OpenEdge and do not require a separate installation; however, OpenEdge Management still requires a separate license. When OpenEdge Management is licensed, the OpenEdge Explorer functionality is included. If you did not purchase OpenEdge Management, however, its options are grayed out and unavailable in the management console when you are using OpenEdge Explorer.

In general, the settings you can establish and the options you can access when using OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer are determined both by the platform you are using and the products that you are licensed to use. If you notice that a particular link is dimmed in the OpenEdge Explorer console and not available for modification, it is because that link has no meaning within your operating environment or your licensed configuration.

Note: The settings (properties) for most of the resources managed by OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer (except for OpenEdge databases) are stored in the ubroker.properties file installed with OpenEdge. These properties are stored as name-value pairs. The names of these properties shown in OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer are long forms of the short names for the same properties stored in the ubroker.properties file. For more information about this file, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration. For information on property storage for OpenEdge databases, see Database configuration and administration.
