2. Open the Server Editor by doing either of the following:
*Double-click the name of the server.
*Select the server name, and right-click. Then select Open.
3. Provide the OpenEdge Explorer connection details in the Connection section of the Server Editor, or click Configure to add a connection.
4. Choose one:
*To start or restart the server, select the server name in the Servers view and click Start on the view toolbar, or right-click the server name and click Start.
*To start or restart the server in debug mode, either select the server in the Servers view and click Start the server in debug mode on the view toolbar, or right-click the server name and select Debug. In addition, you must be sure that the broker's machine is enabled for debugging.
5. For a local broker’s server, enabling debugging is done automatically when the server is launched in debug mode. For a remote broker’s server, you must do the following:
a. From the left pane of the management console on the remote machine, select Resources > [container name] > OpenEdge > AppServer, and then select the broker.
b. Click Configuration. In the Advanced Features area of the Broker properties, be sure that the Enable debugging through the broker property is selected.
6. To stop the server, either select the server in the Servers view and click Stop on the view toolbar, or right-click the server name and select Stop.
Note: The Servers view refreshes to show the state as one of the following: Starting, Started, Stopping, or Stopped. The status can also be blank (which is the default) if the state is unknown. The Status is also refreshed to show one of the following: Synchronized, Publishing, or Republish.
