ConsultingWerk – Understanding OpenEdge Client Startup Parameters

Posted Tony ManleyPosted in Past Events

Join ConsultingWerk’s next webinar with Mike Fechner on Thursday 13th February 2024 at 16:00 CET.

Configuring OpenEdge clients involves managing a wide range of startup parameters. Some parameters serve  general purposes, others are mandatory, and some are only relevant in specific configurations.


Understanding these parameters is critical, as they play a vital role in the functionality of an ABL application and can often be fine-tuned to optimize runtime performance in specific environments.


In this session, Mike Fechner will provide a detailed overview of the various startup parameters for  OpenEdge client products, detailing their purpose, usage, and potential impact on application performance.
