System administrators can monitor and manage PAS for OpenEdge instances through scripts using the OpenEdge JMXcommand line utility, OEJMX , to connect to a local PAS for OpenEdge instance. Based on JMX (Java Management Extensions), OEJMX connects to an instance using Java objects called Managed Beans, MBeans or simply beans. One or more beans instrument a resource using attributes and operations. This direct access to the underlying beans provides administrators with the freedom to write scripts to monitor and manage applications in ways that may not be available within OpenEdge Management or JConsole.

For details about OEJMX usage, see the Use OEJMX to manage and monitor and instance in Manage Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge. This topic details some common OEJMX queries as reference information.
