AppServer
OpenEdge® RDBMS
OpenEdge® DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server
OpenEdge® DataServer for ODBC
OpenEdge® DataServer for ORACLE

Using the Progress Explorer tool, you can:

Create new instances of OpenEdge servers and configure their property settings.
Modify property settings of existing OpenEdge server instances.
Start and stop OpenEdge servers.
Monitor the status of OpenEdge servers.

For more information about working with the Progress Explorer tool, see the Progress Explorer online Help.
