If the AdminServer managing the remote database is configured as an AdminServer (a named instance of an AdminServer that is running OpenEdge Management or has been configured to be monitored by OpenEdge Management), you do not need to take any steps to start the database agent. It will autostart whenever the broker starts. However, if the AdminServer is not configured as an AdminServer, you must edit the conmgr.properties file to start the database agent for a remote, managed database.
To enable a remote managed database agent:
1. Shut down the AdminServer.
2. Open the database's conmgr.properties file. This file is located in OpenEdge-install-dir/properties.
3. Add the following to the conmgr.properties file:
[agentremoteconnection]
agentremotesupport=true
4. Save the conmgr.properties file.
5. Click Resources > Go to Resources in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
All resources managed by your console appear in a grid frame.
6. Filter or search for, and select the remote database agent you want to enable monitoring.
7. Click Configuration in the Command and Control section.
The Configuration page appears.
8. Click the link for the default configuration in the Configuration and Server Group Links section.
9. Click Edit.
10. In the Agent category, select the Monitored option.
11. Click Save.
Note: If the machine hosting OpenEdge Management is rebooted after the AdminServer is shut down, remote database agents do not reconnect to OpenEdge Management . You must restart remote database agents after rebooting the machine hosting OpenEdge Management
