Distributed DataServer Applications
Progress has integrated much of its server technology into a single framework, which allows you to administer distributed components as a single system. The Progress products that are dependent on this single administrative system, known as the Progress Explorer administration framework, are the Progress AppServer and the WebSpeed Transaction Server. Both of these products can support DataServers that allow you to include a non-Progress data source into this distributed system.
AppServer applications can use the DataServer to access data from a non-Progress data source. WebSpeed Agents can connect to a non-Progress data source and execute their SpeedScript applications against it. Note that the AppServer and WebSpeed can access DataServers that are not administered by the Progress Explorer administration framework.
In the Progress Explorer administration framework, a single administrative service (the AdminServer) controls the various processes required by the AppServer, WebSpeed, and DataServers. This allows you to centralize your resources. The framework also supports a single access point for configuring, running, managing, and analyzing your distributed architecture. On NT, this utility is the Progress Explorer, which provides a graphical interface to configuration and administrative tasks. On UNIX, you work with the Explorer administration framework through a properties file and command-line utilities. See the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows or the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX for an overview of the Explorer administration framework.
