What's New in the Progress OpenEdge Command Center 1.3: Controlling Your Database Availability

July 11, 2023 Application Development, OpenEdge

In the ever-evolving world of application management, staying ahead of the curve is crucial.

By adding thorough database administration capability in version 1.3, the Progress OpenEdge Command Center (OECC) makes another significant step. As a result, OECC is now your go-to choice for all OpenEdge application management requirements.

What can you expect from the new database management capabilities in OECC? Let's take a closer look.

1. Automatic Database Discovery

The days of manually inputting database connection information are over. Now, OECC has the capacity to automatically find active databases. Manual configurations that are time-consuming and prone to error are no longer necessary thanks to this functionality. Automatic database discovery makes it simple to immediately add databases to OECC and start managing them for system administrators.

System administrators can save time and guarantee accurate database maintenance across many environments by utilizing this capability. OECC handles the discovery process so you can concentrate on more important tasks, like performance optimization or creating new features for your applications.

2. Enhanced Visibility and Real-Time Status

With the latest release, OECC offers an intuitive dashboard that lists all the databases present on your servers. This dashboard offers a thorough overview that enables you to quickly see the current state of your databases. The dashboard from OECC makes sure you maintain control over your infrastructure, regardless of whether you have a few or hundreds of databases.

Gaining insights into the health and status of your databases and application server instances is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and minimizing downtime. With OECC, you can proactively identify issues and take necessary steps before they impact your applications. The real-time status updates empower system administrators to make informed decisions as soon as they land in the dashboard and keep their OpenEdge databases/application servers running smoothly.

3. Basic Database Management Operations

Now that automatic discovery and improved visibility are included, OECC provides system administrators with the fundamentals of database administration. Direct database start and stop capabilities allow you to streamline your workflow and eliminate the need for separate management tools.

With OECC, managing database connections is simple. Connections may be monitored and managed, ensuring optimal resource use. You may streamline your processes and cut down on the effort of maintaining different tools by consolidating database administration within OECC.

OECC also offers REST API in OpenAPI standards to control database processes and view real-time status. This helps application programmers easily automate or integrate with their business applications.

Unleash the Power of OpenEdge Management with OECC 1.3

In conclusion, OECC's latest update adds powerful database management capabilities. The automatic database discovery feature eliminates manual configuration efforts, while the intuitive dashboard provides real-time visibility into the status of your databases. Furthermore, the ability to perform basic management operations directly within OpenEdge CC streamlines your workflow and enhances efficiency.
