How to Run 10.1B & 10.1C Progress Explorer Tools in a Win XP Envronment

[philippoommen1]

Hi

We have two versions of Progress in a PC. 10.1B(SP03) & 10.1C(SP04). We would like to run the Progress Explorer tool for both the versions. We are getting an error Unable to Connect to Admin Server.Ensure Admin Server is running(8326).

On Windows, we changed Adminserver port and AdminServer port can be changed by adding -port and -adminport parameters to the following windows registry keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\AdminService\version\StartupCmd
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\AdminService\version\ShutdownCmd

Then changed the Explorer tool Port number from the properties

But still error happens. Any more tips greatly aprreciated ?

Regards and TIA

Before trying to start the Progress Explorer, did you check the services to see if the AdminServer is running for both versions. Have you restarted the Adminserver after you changed the registry.

Hi, I have also encountered with same problem couldn't go through, one solution you can try is to start AdminServer manually with different Port# from Command prompt i think you would have already tried it...

Actually the AdminServer runs on a TCP port, the default is 20931. But that's not all. Usually the AdminServer will also autostart a name sever out-of-the-box. Therefore you need to change the port numbers for both.

AdminServer: Depending on how you start it - I suppose since it's Windows that you start it with the Windows service manager - you can change it either in the registry or in your startup script. In the registry you'll find it under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PSC\AdminService\<your OpenEdge version>\StatupCmd. In both cases you need to add the -port parameter to the command.

Name server: You can do this in the ubroker.properties file. Usually you'll find it in the properties folder beneath you OpenEdge installation folder. If you're just running databases which are managed by the AdminServer you don't need the name server so you could also set it's autostart property to false.

HTH, RealHeavyDude.
