Description

Enables a resource.

Syntax

fathom -enable option
-user
(Optional) The username for OpenEdge Management. Progress recommends that you specify this switch. If this switch is not specified, the utility uses the current username of your machine.
-password
(Optional) The password for the username you provided. Using this switch in the command might allow others to see your password in cleartext. So, Progress recommends specifying the password only when prompted.
Table 1. Command-line options for enabling a resource
Option syntax Description
-resource <resource-name> Enables a specific resource.
-restype <resource-type> Enables all the resources that belong to a resource type: database, file, network, openedge, or system.
-Fathom Enables polling for all resources.

This option does not change the status of individual resources.

Example 1

The following command is an example to enable the asbroker1 resource using the -resource switch:
fathom -enable -user admin -resource asbroker1

Example 2

You can also enable a resource without using the -resource switch, but ensure that you specify the resource-name or the resource-key next to the -enable switch.
Consider the following examples:
fathom -enable asbroker1 -user admin
 
fathom -enable localhost:resource.openedge.appserver.asbroker1 -user admin
