You can run a PAS for OpenEdge instance from within the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge environment using the PAS for OpenEdge launch configuration. Each time you do so, Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge runs a launch configuration, which you can customize to suit the needs of your application and its target implementation.

Starting a PAS for OpenEdge instance at runtime loads the properties defined for the server instance, the ABL applications, and the application properties (the ABL application properties are defined in <openedgeWork>/<instancename>/conf/openedge.properties). The session manager and agents are configured with the ABL Application. You can use the PAS for OpenEdge launch configuration to edit the session and agent properties.
