Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

AdminServer

An AdminServer is installed on every system where you install an OpenEdge database. The AdminServer grants access to each instance of an installed OpenEdge product. The AdminServer must be running in order to use the Progress Explorer configuration tools or command-line configuration utilities to manage your database.

In Windows-based systems, the AdminServer starts automatically and runs as a service. For UNIX-based systems, a command-line utility (PROADSV) is used to start and stop the AdminServer. For more information about the AdminServer, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .
