After you log in to OpenEdge Command Center, the console dashboard is displayed. The dashboard is the home page and consists of the following components to help you manage the PAS for OpenEdge instances and the OpenEdge databases:

Getting Started video

Watch the Get started with the OpenEdge Command Center video to get a high-level view of the product, to learn about the interface and its PAS for OpenEdge and OpenEdge database management features, and to learn where and how to perform the set of first-time tasks you need to complete to start using it.

Banner notification

The top right area of the console dashboard displays banner notification, alerting you to configure email settings. As a super administrator, the first task to complete is configuring your email settings. After that is done, you can create new users, manage your OpenEdge Command Center deployments, and receive email notifications sent by OpenEdge Command Center. After you configure your email settings, this banner notification is no longer displayed.

Discovered Resources

After you connect one or more OpenEdge Command Center agents, you can view these agents in the Discovered Resources panel. These agents list OpenEdge resources, such as PAS for OpenEdge instances and running OpenEdge databases, on their respective systems. As these resources are made discoverable by the agent, you can view these resources in the Discovered Resources panel.

If you click an agent in this panel, the OECC Agents page appears. For information about managing the agent from this page, see Manage services for OpenEdge Command Center agent.

Similarly, if you click an OpenEdge database or PAS for OpenEdge instance resource in this panel, the corresponding resource page appears. For information about managing the OpenEdge database, see Manage OpenEdge databases. For information about managing the PAS for OpenEdge instance, see Configure and manage PAS for OpenEdge instances.

Quick links

The Quick Links panel provides instant access to:

  • OpenEdge Command Center online help, which is posted on the Progress Content Portal
  • Progress community help
  • Public REST APIs for business application use cases
  • Version and build number of OpenEdge Command Center
