Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Starting the AdminServer

In Windows, the AdminServer starts automatically and runs as a Windows Service (AdminService for OpenEdge). From the desktop, you can perform a variety of administrative tasks. On UNIX, the command-line utility, PROADSV, supports a variety of tasks you can perform in support of the AdminServer. This section notes each method.

From the Windows desktop

Use the following procedure to start the AdminServer.

To start the AdminServer on your machine:

Choose Start Programs Administrative Tools Services. Select the AdminService for OpenEdge 10.1A, and double-click. The AdminService for OpenEdge 10.1A Properties dialog box appears. Choose Start, then choose OK.
Notes: If Administrative Tools is not available, right-click from the Task Bar. Choose Properties, then select the Advanced tab. Select the Display Administrative Tools check box, then choose OK.

If you start the AdminServer, using a specific username and password, that user must have Administrator rights.

For most product installations, the AdminServer is set to Autostart.

Using PROADSV on UNIX

A command-line utility, PROADSV, supports OpenEdge administrative capabilities on UNIX. PROADSV allows you to start up, shut down, and query the status of the AdminServer, among other tasks. See Appendix C, "Command and Utility Reference" for detailed syntax information.
