Tools for managing and configuring WebSpeed on PAS for OpenEdge

This section is an overview of the tools for configuring and managing WebSpeed on PAS for OpenEdge.

Note: WebTools, a collection of browser-based utilities implemented for classic WebSpeed, are not supported for use with WebSpeed on PAS for OpenEdge.

Command line utilities

The command line utilities for classic WebSpeed (WTBMAN and WSCONFIG) are not applicable to WebSpeed on PAS for OpenEdge. Instead, you use the standard PAS for OpenEdge utilities, namely:

TCMAN — Similar to WTBMAN, it is used to control and monitor the server. TCMAN has additional functionality, compared to WTBMAN, for creating and configuring server instances, managing applications, and more.

OEPROP — Similar to MERGEPROP. which is used to manage the ubroker.properties file for classic WebSpeed. You use OEPROP to manage the openedge.properties file, which is similar in form and function to ubroker.properties.

REST APIs

The oemanager.war Java Web application provides a REST API for remote management and monitoring of sessions, agents, transports, and of ABL applications deployed on a Progress Application Server for OpenEdge instance. Functionality is implemented as a REST service that is accessed via a URI.

OEE/OEM

You can configure and manage both classic WebSpeed and WebSpeed on PAS for OpenEdge from the OpenEdge Explorer or OpenEdge Management tools. For more information, see the online help for OEE/OEM. For information specific to managing WebSpeed on PAS for OpenEdge, see OpenEdge Management: Progress Application Server for OpenEdge Configuration.

Manually editing configuration files

You can edit openedge.properties (and other PAS properties files) with a text editor to configure . The properties are documented in the /conf/openedge.properties.README file.

Note: Be aware that manual edits cannot be tracked. Therefore, if manual changes are made, and changes are also made with TCMAN, OEPROP, REST APIs, or OEE/OEM tools, the manual changes may be lost.
