Starting a remote managed database agent

If the AdminServer managing the remote database is configured as a container (a named instance of an AdminServer that is running OpenEdge Management or has been configured to be monitored by OpenEdge Management), you do not need to take any steps to start the database agent. It will autostart whenever the broker starts. However, if the AdminServer is not configured as a container, you must edit the conmgr.properties file to start the database agent for a remote, managed database.

To enable a remote managed database agent:

  1. Shut down the AdminServer.
  2. Open the database's conmgr.properties file. This file is located in OpenEdge-install-dir/properties.
  3. Add the following to the conmgr.properties file:
    [agentremoteconnection]
    agentremotesupport=true
  4. Save the conmgr.properties file.
  5. Restart the AdminServer.
  6. Open Progress Explorer.
  7. Select the default configuration for the database.
  8. On the agent folder, specify the OpenEdge Management host name and the database admin port.
  9. Note: Remote database agents do not reconnect to OpenEdge Management if the machine hosting OpenEdge Management is rebooted after the AdminServer is shut down. After rebooting the machine hosting OpenEdge Management, you must restart remote database agents.
