Preparing to configure Fathom
To ensure that you have the necessary information to perform your configuration, consider the following information before you proceed:
- Review the installation and deployment decisions made when Fathom was installed at your site. See Chapter 1, "Before You Install Fathom Management Standard Edition," for installation considerations.
- Note that Fathom runs as a managed service in the AdminServer; your databases can be administered by the AdminServer and the Progress Explorer. Therefore, you should be familiar with the AdminServer and Progress Explorer functionality.
- If you intend to monitor remote resources, be sure that you have installed Fathom and either OpenEdge 10.0B or Progress Version 9.1D in directories whose names do not contain spaces.
- Note that familiarity with the Fathom command-line options (which can be launched from Start
Programs

You can also:
- Start or stop Fathom Management from the Fathom menu.
For details about using command-line options with Fathom, see the "Using the command-line interface" section.- Open Fathom in a browser from the Management Console shortcut on your desktop (if you chose to install the shortcut during Fathom installation).
