Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Getting Started

Built-in environment managers

While the Progress Dynamics Repository provides the storage for dynamic objects and the data for all other application features, the Progress Dynamics managers provide the engine for managing these objects and features in your application. These managers support virtually all Progress Dynamics functions, from application development and deployment to live execution of the application itself. Each manager is implemented as a persistent procedure, and the framework instantiates them in a prescribed order, depending on the specified configuration.

The common characteristic of all Progress Dynamics managers is that they run on both the client and the AppServer in a distributed environment, with the client-side version serving as a proxy to communicate with its counterpart running on the AppServer. In a stand-alone or client/server (database server) configuration, these managers run completely on the client.

Progress Dynamics ships with the following standard managers:

Configuration File Manager.
Connection Manager.
Service Type Managers for the AppServer, database, JMS, and Web services.
Customization Manager.
Profile Manager.
General Manager.
Localization Manager.
Referential Integrity Manager.
