Starting and managing an AppServer with OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer
You can use the browser-based OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to start a local or remote AppServer on any platform.
To access OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, you can open them from the OpenEdge program group. For more options on each platform, see OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Getting Started.
If you want to learn more about using OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, see OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Getting Started or the online help in the tool.
To start an AppServer instance:
1. In either OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, connect to each of the running AdminServer processes required by your AppServer configuration. (See the Help of the tool you need for specific step-by-step information.) The name or IP address of the machine running each of these processes appears will be listed in the tool.
2. Navigate to the lists of NameServers and AppServers installed on the machine.
3. Start each NameServer that you need to support your AppServer instance and that is not already auto-started. For more information, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
4. Start each OpenEdge database or DataServer that your application requires and that is not already auto-started. For more information on starting databases and DataServers, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
5. Select the AppServer instance you want to start, and then start it.
You can also invoke the following management functions for the running AppServer instance:
*Stop the AppServer.
Note: You cannot stop the AppServer if it is actively handling any client requests.
*Check and manage the operational status of the AppServer. You can also reduce and increase the number of running AppServer agents for this AppServer. For more information on the effects of these functions, see Specifying the server pool parameters. For more information on AppServer status indicators, see Table 5.
*View the log files for the AppServer.
*Delete the AppServer instance.
Note: Before you can delete an AppServer instance, you must stop the AppServer.
