Choosing an OpenEdge Management deployment strategy

The best strategy for deploying OpenEdge Management depends on your requirements. There is no one strategy that works bests for all environments. You may find that a combination of approaches works best for your needs. Some factors to consider when deciding on a deployment strategy include:

Do you want to minimize the impact of OpenEdge Management on your production machines? If so, you should consider installing OpenEdge Management on a machine dedicated to running OpenEdge Management and use OpenEdge Management remote resource monitoring capabilities.

Do you want to view the status of all your resources from a single OpenEdge Management console? If so, you should consider using OpenEdge Management's remote resource monitoring capabilities.

Do you need to run jobs on remote machines? OpenEdge Management provides support for remote jobs.

Will you be monitoring resources outside of your network firewall? If so, you will need to perform the appropriate tunneling to allow OpenEdge Management through the firewall.

The default port for monitoring remote OpenEdge and system resources is 6835.
