You can install and manage ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services in PAS for OpenEdge using the ABL APPLICATIONS, WEB APPLICATIONS and WEB APP SERVICES tabs. All the related command and controls for ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services are internally performed using the tcman utility. Consequently, these operations are available only for the instances that are hosted locally, and not for the remotely hosted ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services where the tcman utility is inaccessible to OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer. Therefore, to manage remote ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services instances, you must use the tcman utility in the remote location. For more information on managing ABL apps, Web apps and Web app service instances using the tcman utility, see the TCMAN reference sections in your OpenEdge documentation.
Note: You must install only the ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services that you want to manage. The OpenEdge manager web application, oemanager, must be installed on PAS for OpenEdge for you to manage OpenEdge ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services when the PAS for OpenEdge instance is running. The Tomcat manager Web application, manager, must be installed to deploy and undeploy ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services when the PAS for OpenEdge instance is running. You may choose not to install these Web applications to improve security, but in such a scenario, OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer cannot manage the ABL apps, Web apps and Web app services.
The following sections discuss the different commands and controls used to configure PAS for OpenEdge. These are all the different options under a PAS for OpenEdge instance page.
You can perform the following functions from the Progress Application Server: instance name page:
The Progress Application Server: instance name page displays five of the most recent alerts. You can clear an individual alert or click Clear all alerts to clear all the alerts from the page. When there are more than five alerts, the page displays a See complete list button to open the Alerts page, which displays all alerts. For more information about alert features, see OpenEdge Management: Alerts Guide and Reference.
