Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Downloading executables for heterogeneous environments

The distributed architecture of OpenEdge allows you to optimize your hardware and network resources by installing components across networked machines, specifically when you are installing an OpenEdge Application Server component. Although some of these products’ components must reside together on the same machine, you can, in some cases, distribute components to different machines, even if the machines run on different platforms. For example, you can install a WebSpeed Messenger or the NameServer in a Windows 2000 platform and install a WebSpeed Transaction Server on a UNIX platform.

The following list identifies executables that you can download for a platform other than Windows:

WebSpeed Messenger
NameServer
Secure AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA)
Web Services Adapter
OpenEdge Adapter for Sonic ESB
Promsgs (Progress Messages)

The executables can be downloaded free of charge from Progress Software’s Download Center at http://www.progress.com/esd.
