I'm looking for documentation on configuring the PASOE instance for OE 12.2 as a service on Linux RH9 using systemd.

I've found a few KBase entries but I was looking for official documentation. I'm also open for your own "Best Practices"

      Thanks Stefan. But have you used this interesting read in creating startup scripts for the Progress OpenEdge environment? Databases and PASOE servers.

        No, I just have some dev boxes, so I leave that to OE Explorer (which is started by systemctl with config in /etc/system.d/system)
