Why do you care about that name?

Also, it *may* be the ABL application name (which is the same as the instance name by default).

I care because I want to display a "friendly name" showing the appserver in use.

If I am right, then it is the alias name of the instance and it might dissappear if you enable clustering on that specific PASOE instance.

OK.

The “appserver” in use is a combination of instance (eg http://localhost:8810 or an alias like oepas1 ) and the ABL application name. I don’t believe the instance alias and ABL application names are exposed to clients in the normal but you can get this info via the oemanager REST API (start at https://documentation.progress.com/output/ua/OpenEdge_latest/index.html#page/pasoe-admin/list-abl-plication-information.html# ). Note that this requires you to install the oemanager webapp.

You should show a combination of those, similarly to how PDSOE does in the Servers view

For us, this value is set at login and stored in our session table (which all happens on the server) so accessing it via the client isn't really a necessity. We already store the SERVER-CONNECTION-ID and fish out the appserver name for a "traditional" stateless AppServer from this string. I was hoping to do something similar for a PAS server. I don't need this data for establishing a connection, etc. It's just a visual clue to the end-user (and for our tech support).

Peter, for funsies I tried what you suggested but received an "unauthorized" response. Is this a small part of a bigger puzzle, or is there some kind of way to pass credentials to the call?

Posted by Peter Judge on 12-Oct-2016 09:52

How did you ask? you'll need to log in to to access oemanager. The default creds are tomcat/tomcat.

I tried using curl (per the example in the doc) as well as my own code (using .Net). How does one log in?

Posted by Peter Judge on 12-Oct-2016 10:48

In curl, add -u tomcat:tomcat (or whatever's configured; you can see that in OEM/OEE).

Posted by Jeff Ledbetter on 12-Oct-2016 12:09

Ok, that seems to work. Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "you can see that in OEM/OEE" though.

Posted by Peter Judge on 12-Oct-2016 12:20

There’s a screen somewhere that lets you specify the u/pw used (so it’s not always tomcat/tomcat).

Yes, ok, gotcha. I thought you meant some way to see the URI and parameters being passed. :)
