Configuration and management utilities
This section provides an overview of the management tools for WebSpeed. For more detailed information, see OpenEdge Application Server: Administration .
Progress Explorer
The Progress Explorer is a graphical tool that combines the functionality of all the command-line utilities. You can use it to start, create, delete, and modify WebSpeed brokers, agents, NameServers, and Messengers. You can also use Progress Explorer to start, create, delete, and modify database servers.
Currently, Progress Explorer runs only in Windows operating systems. However, you can connect to remote UNIX systems and administer the WebSpeed components running on those remote UNIX systems.
Command-line utilities
Command-line utilities are available for both the UNIX and Windows operating systems.
The WTBMAN utility allows you to control the operation and query the status of a configured WebSpeed Transaction Server. The WSCONFIG utility displays and validates property settings for the WebSpeed Transaction Server and the WebSpeed Messenger.
The NSMAN utility allows you to control the operation and query the status of a configured NameServer. The NSCONFIG utility displays and validates property settings for the NameServer.
The PROADSV utility (only on UNIX systems) allows you to start up and shut down the AdminServer.
SpeedStart
SpeedStart is a browser-based reference page that contains a list of URLs that you can use to check if WebSpeed components are running properly. You can access SpeedStart from your Windows Start Menu (Start
Programs OpenEdge SpeedStart).
