PAS for OpenEdge Lite is a limited version of the PAS for OpenEdge production server. The two products are identical, both architecturally and functionally, but PAS for OpenEdge Lite has the following limitations compared to the PAS for OpenEdge production server:
  • An instance can have only one ABL application deployed to it. There is, however, no limit to the number of instances that you can create or to the number of ABL web applications that you can deploy to an ABL application.
  • Each instance can have only one multi-session agent.
  • A multi-session agent can have up to five concurrent connections (requests) only. For the session-free application model, the maximum number of concurrent sessions that a multi-session agent can process is five. For the session-managed application model, there is no limit to the number of sessions that the multi-session agent can process. But, at any given point in time, a maximum of five concurrent sessions can be handled.
If your application load demands more than 5 concurrent connections, then you can set up more PAS for OpenEdge Lite instances based on the load. Though you can use the same license to set up multiple instances, you should obtain a different license for each new instance. Further, to distribute throughput across your instances, set up PAS for OpenEdge load balancing.
Note:
  • During a Software Asset Management (SAM) audit, if a customer is found to have set up multiple PAS for OpenEdge Lite instances using a single paid license, the customer will be regarded as non-compliant.
  • PAS for OpenEdge Lite does not include OpenEdge Authentication Gateway.
