OpenEdge Management provides visibility into a broad range of configuration, performance and status information on resources. It offers a variety of capabilities to the administrator or user to manage and monitor the performance of OpenEdge resources to:

  • Proactively detect, prevent and troubleshoot failures to improve reliability
  • Collect and store necessary data for reports and future reference
  • Display resource information and data for the benefit of the system administrator

From the Management Console, you can perform the following tasks to achieve these benefits by:

  • Creating and deleting new instances of licensed resources
  • Setting or modifying properties for these instances
  • Starting or stopping the instances (where applicable)
  • Viewing status of the instances
  • Configuring and viewing log files of the instances
  • Defining and running Jobs
  • Defining and running Reports
  • Working with database administration console

When you access the Management Console, the OpenEdge Management view appears depending on the availability or non-availability of the OpenEdge Management license.
