2025-Fall

Updates for Fall 2025 include synchronizing changes for the OEMANAGER utility now offered in the OpenEdge product releases for 12.x, and removal of older demo code for 11.7 which is now officially retired and no longer supported. Please upgrade to either OpenEdge 12.2 LTS or OpenEdge 12.8 LTS releases to use the latest tooling available in this project.

2024-Sept

Contains minor bugfixes, notably for the OEMANAGER utility which is now in sync with the shipped OpenEdge 12.8 product. The only other notable changes are to the build scripts for the PAS monitoring to make them more compatible with OE 11.7 vs 12.x releases. In that respect, a clear set of documents have been produced which differentiates the underlying technology used between those OpenEdge versions.

2024-April

Merge of several internal fixes and enhancements for the OEMANAGER tooling specifically, in addition to several improvements for the Metrics enablement:

• Introduces new build flags to indicate 12.8 and 13.0 releases
• Adds files and resources for 12.8 and 13.0 builds
• Fixes version detection to work more correctly for the 12.8 and 13.0 releases
• Update documentation with usage instructions and formatting for emphasis
• Change to use handlers files for OE versions 12.8 and later

Ides of March edition... Several improvements to the OEMANAGER utility to bring more user-friendly error messages, and clarifying usage instructions based on recent real-world cases.

2024-March

Minor bugfixes and enhancements. Notably, the ability to dump stack information for a specific MSAgent AND SessionID # for an ABL Application.

2023-Sept

Correcting a UI issue related to the Monitor instance for PAS metrics.

2023-August-2

Addressed a display issue with the DB locks task, increasing column widths.

2023-August

Introduces a new report to the Monitor output which shows a graph of response times from the server using request metrics. This is part of an overhaul to the UI which re-groups some items into consistent tabs for easier consumption. Each tab now contains a brief blurb about its role and purpose. Includes fixes for shell scripts where double-bracket errors are present when run on Ubuntu Linux.

May-2023

The primary focus of this release was to enhance the post-deployment instructions for tailoring the utilities for a PAS instance. Even though many of the options such as the port and instance name/path are now auto-discovered by deploying into an instance, some options such as the username/password for the OEManager webapp may need to be changed (and in fact should be) when deployed to a non-development environment. To help report on this condition or any other factors which may prevent access to a PAS instance (such as the server is not running), the "status" task will now stop if the initial request for applications does not succeed and will report a more user-friendly message.

In addition, this enhances the shell/batch scripts used to execute the CLI actions allowing an automatic prefixing of "-D" for Ant parameters if the user may have forgotten (or chose to omit) the prefix.

2023-March-2

Introduces a new section to the PAS area called "Load Testing" to demonstrate some approaches for generating load against the APSV and REST/WEB transports of a PAS instance. These are meant only to provide examples of what can be done using some sample business logic.
