Just like you can manage the AdminServer (

Progress OpenEdge AdminServer Service

<version number>) as a service in the Services view of Microsoft Management Console, you can register and manage a PAS for OpenEdge instance as a service as well.
Note: Registering a PAS for OpenEdge instance as a service is applicable only for Windows platforms.

You cannot register a development instance of PAS for OpenEdge as a service. However, if a development instance was registered as a service in previous release of OpenEdge, you can unregister that instance as a service.

To register a PAS for OpenEdge instance as a service:

  1. Click Resources > Go to Resources in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
    All resources managed by your console appear in the grid frame.
  2. Filter or search for, and select the required PAS for OpenEdge instance.

    For example, type a PAS for OpenEdge instance name in the Filter field or select Progress Application Server as the selection in the Type drop-down menu and select the PAS instance.

    The Progress Application Server: <instance name> page appears.
  3. In the Command and control section of the page, click Register as service.
    The Register PAS as Service page appears.
  4. Click Register as Service to register the PAS for OpenEdge as a service.
    You can now start or stop the PAS for OpenEdge instance in the Services view of Microsoft Management Console. Note that the Start and Stop buttons in the Progress Application Server: <instance name> page changes to Start as windows service and Stop as windows service, respectively.
  5. Optionally, you can select Unregister as service on the Progress Application Server: <instance name> page to unregister the PAS for OpenEdge instance as a service.
