You use OpenEdge Management, OpenEdge Explorer, or the RESTMAN command-line utility to manage the REST Management Agent. However, before you can manage the REST Management Agent, you must complete the following requirements:

On the system on which the Java container is running, install the REST Management Agent component of OpenEdge as per the instructions in Installing and Configuring REST Management Agent.

On the system on which the AdminServer (which administers the REST Management Agent) is running, configure the REST section of the ubroker.properties file to point to the correct REST Management Agent URL. Refer to the following section in the ubroker.properties file:

.
.
.
[REST]
location=Remote
logFile=C:\OpenEdge\WRK\wsa.log
proxyHost=
proxyPassword=
proxyPort=0
proxyUsername=
restUrl=
webServerAuth=1
workDir=@{WorkPath}
[REST.restmgr1]
restUrl=http://localhost:8980/oerm
.
.
.

The value of the restUrl must be configured to point to the location of the REST Management Agent. In the above example, the URL is set to indicate that the REST Management Agent (oerm.war) resides in the local computer and is assigned the port 8980.
