Depending on whether you are accessing OpenEdge Management from a web browser or locally, choose either of the following methods:

  • To access OpenEdge Management from a web browser, enter the URL http://host:port in the Address or Location field. The host is the name of a machine on which OpenEdge Management is installed, and the port is the web server port (by default, this port is 9090). A logon form appears.
  • To access OpenEdge Management locally from the Windows Desktop, and OpenEdge Management is installed, choose Start > Programs (or All Programs) > Progress > OpenEdge > Management Console.

    To access the Database Administration Console and work with multi-tenancy, choose Start > Programs (or All Programs ) > Progress > OpenEdge > Database Administration Console.

    The default browser displays the log on screen.

    If you are logging on for the first time, type the user name admin and the password admin in the appropriate fields, and click OK. The OpenEdge Management Configuration page appears when the console opens.

    Note: Your request for an OpenEdge Management page from an external location may redirect to the logon screen. Once you log on, you are further redirected to the requested page.

    You can access the Mangement Console from any browser that OpenEdge Management supports. (See Browser support for specifics about which browsers are supported).

    After you log on to OpenEdge Management for the first time, you must establish initial configuration settings before you can use it.

    When you log on after the first time, you use a new password you created. For OpenEdge Management, the console opens to Dashboard.

    In addition to Dashboard, the menu bar in the management console consists of the following functional menu options: Resources, Alerts, Library, Reports, Jobs, and Database Administration. Each option provides access to a list of the relevant actions you can perform.

    The Resources option provides access to various tasks, including the creation of a new OpenEdge resource, such as a database or an application server instance, for monitoring or configuration in the console.

In OpenEdge Management, you can click the User icon at the top-right and then click Log out to log off from the management console. You are redirected to the logon screen.
