How to configure OpenEdge Explorer in the PDS OE?

Posted by tbui on 04-Nov-2013 15:39

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the PDS OE. So, I'm trying to configure a WebSpeed server, but I have problems with configuring a OpenEdge Explorer connection.

On the "Edit OpenEdge Explorer Connection" page, I have these settings:

Connection name: Explorer 1

Host name/IP address: localhost

Port: 9090

User name: admin

Password: admin

OpenEdge Explorer URL: http://localhost: 9090

I leave the "Use secure connection" box unchecked.

Then, I try to "Test Connection", but I get this error message:

"Connection failed. Either the OpenEdge Explorer service is not running on localhost machine or the port number is wrong. Connection refused: connect"

I've looked through the "Help" section for starting OpenEdge Explorer service, but did not see anything.

Could you please help me to configure OpenEdge Explorer in the PDS?

Thank you

As the error message mentions, wither the AdminService is not started, or the port number used while starting the service is different from the default port 9090. Do you have two different OE versions installed?

Go to proenv and run proadsv -q to check if the AdminService is started.  If it is not, start the service by running proadsv -start or from Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services-> AdminService for OpenEdge <version>

If it is already started, this means that you started the service at a different port. Identify the port and replace 9090 with this port.

Also, if you have modified the password for 'admin' in the firstuse.jsp page of OE Explorer/Management tool (you can go here by clicking on http://localhost:9090), please provide the new password in PDSOE.

Can you please try to verify if the progress explorer is accessible through the browser by providing http://localhost:9090. If it is not then you need to restart your adminserver and check it agin.

if it is accessible from browser the it should also be accessible from PDS.

I am providing this information with an assumption that your port, username and password are having its default values

Hi,

Can you please check whether the AdminService is started or not. If not, start the admin service either from Windows Services or using command "proadsv -start" from PROENV.

For configuring a server in PDSOE, adminserver and fathom should be started (Which would be done by default when PDSOE is installed).

Hope this helps,

On the top of what's been said here. Open "proenv" and run "fathom -query" - what does it say ?

Thanks everyone for answering my question. Like everyone said the AdminService for OpenEdge did not start, so that was the problem.
