OpenEdge Management supports a variety of tasks that you can perform to manage a DataServer, including:

• Reviewing your current operating status and associated details, as described in Reviewing DataServer broker status
• Modifying broker-related control settings, such as starting and stopping a broker, as described in Modifying DataServer control settings
• Accessing and viewing broker- and server-specific data collected through log files, as described in Accessing and reviewing DataServer-related log file data
• Monitoring and managing DataServer brokers using monitoring plans and rules, as described in Using the DataServer log file viewers

You must have appropriate OpenEdge Management role authorization to perform several of these tasks. See Role authorization and OpenEdge Management tasks for details.
