OpenEdge Management includes the following key features and benefits:
Provides centralized monitoring of the OpenEdge environment to present a comprehensive picture of the health and performance of your OpenEdge application.
Can be used immediately to monitor local log files and resources running on a local machine. You can also use OpenEdge Management to monitor resources running under an AdminServer on a remote machine.
Allows you to make configuration changes to resource instances. These changes are then automatically reflected in the corresponding property file—conmgr.properties for a database and ubroker.properties for the remaining resources.
Allows you to create collections and custom views from the Dashboard page. You can create and use a collection to better organize and operate on resources. You can also optionally create one or more custom views in OpenEdge Management and specify exactly what types of information you want to see. The information provides, sometimes in a graphical format, a customized view of your various resources' status.
Offers a graphical display of database views, which allows you to see at a glance what is happening in the database. The graphics appear in several different, easy-to-understand charts whose display you can open as a separate window and customize in style and size.
A graphical representation of data also appears in the summary information for other resources—such as OpenEdge server resources, or memory, CPU, disk, file, or file system resource—and for several AppServer- and WebSpeed-related performance views.
Enables you to configure alerts to notify appropriate IT personnel of problems with your OpenEdge applications. For example, you can configure alerts to send e-mail notifications to IT personnel and to execute scripts.
Allows you to view, print, and save reports showing historical and trend data related to all of the monitored resources. Each report instance that you create and run is based on a report template, either one of the over 20 provided by OpenEdge Management, or one of your own creation. You can also write custom reports with ABL or use other reporting tools, such as Crystal Reports. Use this feature to help with capacity planning and forecasting.
OpenEdge-related reports include a graphical and an HTML display of information.
Is easy to deploy, configure, and use. A multi-platform user interface allows you to configure and use OpenEdge Management through any compatible Web browser.
Allows you to define batch-style application programs using your existing scripts as OpenEdge Management jobs, both locally and remotely. You can schedule the jobs for execution at regular intervals. OpenEdge Management also provides historical reports of the jobs.
Is non-intrusive. You are not required to make any changes to the network applications you choose to monitor.
Allows you to use cryptographic protocols when you are setting up:
Remote trending of data to the OpenEdge Management Trend Database
The OpenEdge Management Web server
Remote AdminServer
OpenEdge Management email alerts
Progress Application Server for OpenEdge (PAS for OpenEdge)
Allows you to query a running AppServer to see a list of client systems to which the AppServer is currently connected. This information may be helpful in identifying application components that may have malfunctioned.
Supports TCP/IP versions 4 and 6.
Includes the Database Administration Console, which allows you to manage and work with databases enabled for multi-tenancy.
