You can configure few properties of SOAP transport service of a local PAS for OpenEdge instance even when the OpenEdge manager web application, oemanager, is not installed and the instance is not running. You can access these properties using the SOAP transport configuration for ABL Application <ABL application name> WebApp <webapp name> page.

Note: To configure the properties of a transport service of a remote PAS for OpenEdge instance, ensure that the oemanager is installed and the instance is running.

  1. Click Resources > Go to Resources in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
    All resources managed by your console appear in the grid frame.
