From the management console, you can start or stop a local PAS for OpenEdge instance. You must first connect to the AdminServer that manages the PAS for OpenEdge instance that you want to start. You can also choose to start the PAS for OpenEdge instance automatically when the AdminServer starts.

If you start a PAS for OpenEdge instance with incorrect credentials, such as login, password, URL, hostname, or port, the OpenEdge manager login fails and displays the following in the instance's home page:
  • An error message —
    Error message Reason
    Access to oemanager 'Unauthorized' for https://hostname:port/oemanager Incorrect login and/or password
    Access to oemanager 'Forbidden' for https://hostname:port/oemanager Incorrect URL
    Access to oemanager 'Connect to hostname:port failed: connect timed out' for https://hostname:port/oemanager Invalid hostname or port
  • An alert — OEManagerNotAccessible

    This alert is triggered after the next poll and is also displayed on the Alerts page.

  • The current status of the PAS for OpenEdge instance as Internal Error.
After a sucessful login, the error message is cleared and the status changes to Passed immediately. However, the alert is cleared only after the snext poll. For editing the configuration properties of a PAS for OpenEdge instance, see Configure a PAS for OpenEdge instance.

You must start or stop the application server in the same way you start or stop any resource in OpenEdge Management.
