Cause

Resolution

Prior to OpenEdge 11.x, shutting down the AdminServer left managed databases running but caused all running ubroker servers to shutdown at the same time.

OpenEdge 11.x introduces a -keepservers switch that will allow not only the databases to remain running once the AdminServer is stopped but also the running ubrokers. When the AdminServer is restarted, running ubrokers re-register with the AdminServer like running managed databases.

Example of only shutting down the AdminServer:

proenv> proadsv -stop -keepservers
