When you create a PAS for OpenEdge instance, the properties of the instance are automatically set to certain default values. Each PAS for OpenEdge instance has its own /conf directory that contains multiple configuration files, including:
  • openedge.properties—Contains the properties that must be set to create an instance. See the openedge.properties.README for more information.
  • catalina.properties—Contains the Java properties used by an instance and its ABL Web applications. See the catalina.properties.README for more information.
  • appserver.properties—Linked to the catalina.properties file such that any changes made to catalina.properties are dynamically reflected in appserver.properties. See the appserver.properties.README for more information.
  • catalinaopts.properties—Contains name-value Java properties used by the Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge and web applications. Each non-blank and non-commented line is defined as a java system property by prefixing a -D and passed on from the command line to the JVM using the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable. See the catalinaopts.properties for more information.
  • jvm.properties—Contains a list of JVM startup command-line options.
  • server.xml—Contains the server features for the instance.
    Note: Progress recommends that you do not edit the server.xml file.

You can edit the property files using the PASMAN and OEPROP utilities, and OpenEdge Management.
