You can use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to manage your database. You cannot physically create a database in the management console; however, you can create the definition of a database so that you can configure, start, stop, or view status for the primary broker and all auxiliary processes associated with that broker, and view status for the log file for the database.
Database configuration information is stored in the conmgr.properties file. For a complete list of how the database properties map to the command-line .pf arguments, see the conmgr.properties.README. You can locate the README file in the OpenEdge-install\properties directory.
A database recognized and managed by the AdminServer is called a managed database. A database not managed by an AdminServer is called a scripted database. Scripted databases are administered outside the AdminServer using parameter files (.pf) and operating system-dependent scripts. You can migrate a scripted database to a managed database.
For details about adding a managed or a scripted database, see OpenEdge Management: Database Management.
For details about managing and working with databases enabled for multi-tenancy, see OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuring Multi-tenancy.
