We'd like to have the OEE (port 9090, part of adminserver) available on our production PASOE servers. The primary reason is in order to easily manage the ABL applications and webapps (and their related openedge.properties) with the related OEE user interface . Another reason for adminserver is because we need yet another free component of the the adminserver framework, which is the sonic-adapter-broker-service used for JMS messaging. It also has corresponding OEE user interface and its own management functions in OEE as well. But for some reason OEE it is NOT made available by default, and there are no prompts during the setup to make it available. And no utility to enable it after the fact. In the past we've used a weird workaround - adding and removing another random Progress license via the "License Update" utility. This seems to have the effect of pulling in OEE, without breaking any legal contracts (hopefully). Afterwards the randomly selected license is removed again, but OEE seems to "stick" and it happily remains in place. I noticed there is a very short article to this effect: Progress KB - PASOE installation does not install the AdminServer - you will notice in the article that they suggest installing all of *PDSOE* on a *production* server. Can someone please comment on this KB? Should we follow-up those instructions by *uninstalling* the temporary Progress license that we had used to smuggle adminserver into the installation? Should we leave PDSOE on the server permanently? Is there another alternative Progress license - aside from PDSOE - that we can use to smuggle adminserver and OEE? (It is a bit of a shock to consider installing PDSOE on a production server, for any reason whatsoever!) Are there any additional legal or licensing concerns that are associated with the enabling of OEE on PASOE for production? I wish that KB article elaborated on available licenses that could be used to smuggle adminserver and OEE. The article leaves a lot of open questions. I also wish that PASOE prompted whether to enable OEE (or installed a utility that would allow that after the fact). It seems that Progress assumes that PASOE customers will have a remote server with OEE/OEM to manage PASOE remotely. But that is less practical than keeping all of the Progress stuff in one place.
