I probably should have been more clear in that last email.
Try connecting to ftpmpls.epicor.com via an FTP client like Filezilla.
Use your Epicweb username and password, then look in the Manufacturing folder if
you are on version 8.xx or the epicor9 folder if you are on 9, or the vantage
folder if you are a 6.1 or earlier then look in the vantage folder.

Thanks, That was an easy regedit cut and paste and both PETs are up
and running. The hard part seems to be downloading sp's and patches.
They take forever from their throttled web site.

Cliff,
Follow are the instructions that I received from support when I wanted
to run side-by-side during our conversion. It seemed a little daunting
at first, but it just take your time and you should have no problems.

Summary: PG Running 9.1D and 10.0B Windows PET side-by-side
Book: Support Solutions
Page: 5695MPS
PROBLEM: How do I run Progress 9.1D and OpenEdge 10.0B on the same
server using the Progress Explorer Tool for each?
XA610
XA800
XA803
RESOLUTION: The Progress Explorer Tool (PET) is the tool Progress uses
to setup, configure, and control Progress databases. The PET uses the
Microsoft Management Console framework on the client side and creates a
new service called the AdminService that acts as the intermediary
between the console and the databases. The AdminService resides on the
server and operates using a port ( -port ) for communication between the
console and the service. The AdminService uses a separate port (
-adminport ) for communication between the service and the databases.
When installing Progress, 9.1x or future versions, the AdminService is
created using default port numbers ( -port 20931 ) and ( -Adminport 7832
). As can be anticipated when installing more than one version of
Progress on a single server, in our case 9.1D and OE 10.0B a conflict
will arise contending for the specified default port numbers. You will
be able to launch one version's AdminService at a time without error,
but upon attempting to launch both AdminServices at the same time, one
will win and one will lose. To avoid this contention and allow both
AdminServices to run, it is necessary to alter the port numbers used in
at least one of the versions. In the steps that follow we will alter
the ports of the 9.1D version. We assume you have Progress 9.1D and
Progress OE 10.0B installed according to the installation guide.
Procedure:
Step 1. Check status of the AdminServices
Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools- Services
The AdminService for 9.1D should be off and 'Manual.'
The AdminService for OpenEdge 10.0B should be 'started' and 'Automatic.'
Step 2. Edit Registry Keys for 9.1D
Before we proceed, I need add that any edits to the registry are
potentially damaging to the OS or other programs. Tread with care. If
something goes wrong with the registry you may need to reinstall
Progress and worse additionally the Operating System. Prudently we
should before proceeding make backups of the database and create an
Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) for NT. See the Microsoft documentation for
the Emergency Repair Disk procedure.
Start - Run - type in 'regedit'
Then proceed to the following Key:
HKey Local Machine\Software\PSC\AdminService\9.1D
Below this are two sub keys and underlying string value 'Chimera'
\ShutdownCmd\Chimera
\StartupCmd\Chimera
Each sub key needs the Chimera string value concatenated with the
parameters (note the string will vary for different versions of
Progress, 9.1D shown)
\ShutdownCmd\Chimera
Before value data edit:
"c:\epicor\prgs91d\bin\jvmstart" -o eventmgr -w @{WorkPath}
@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java -classpath
@{JAVA\JRECP};@{JAVA\PROGRESSCP};@{JAVA\FATHOMCP} @{JAVA\JVMARGS}
-DInstall.Dir=@{Startup\DLC} -DWork.Dir=@{WorkPath}
-Djava.jvmargs=@{JAVA\JVMARGS} -Djava.security.policy=@{JAVA\JAVAPOLICY}
-Dadmsrv.jvm=@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java
com.progress.chimera.adminserver.AdminServerType -stop -service
After value data edit:
"c:\epicor\prgs91d\bin\jvmstart" -o eventmgr -w @{WorkPath}
@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java -classpath
@{JAVA\JRECP};@{JAVA\PROGRESSCP};@{JAVA\FATHOMCP} @{JAVA\JVMARGS}
-DInstall.Dir=@{Startup\DLC} -DWork.Dir=@{WorkPath}
-Djava.jvmargs=@{JAVA\JVMARGS} -Djava.security.policy=@{JAVA\JAVAPOLICY}
-Dadmsrv.jvm=@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java
com.progress.chimera.adminserver.AdminServerType -stop -service -port
20555 -adminport 7840
\StartupCmd\Chimera
Before value data edit:
"c:\epicor\prgs91d\bin\jvmstart" -o eventmgr -w @{WorkPath}
@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java -classpath
@{JAVA\JRECP};@{JAVA\PROGRESSCP};@{JAVA\FATHOMCP} @{JAVA\JVMARGS}
-DInstall.Dir=@{Startup\DLC} -DWork.Dir=@{WorkPath}
-Djava.jvmargs=@{JAVA\JVMARGS} -Djava.security.policy=@{JAVA\JAVAPOLICY}
-Dadmsrv.jvm=@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java -Djvmstart.debug=0
com.progress.chimera.adminserver.AdminServerType -start -service
After value data edit:
"c:\epicor\prgs91d\bin\jvmstart" -o eventmgr -w @{WorkPath}
@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java -classpath
@{JAVA\JRECP};@{JAVA\PROGRESSCP};@{JAVA\FATHOMCP} @{JAVA\JVMARGS}
-DInstall.Dir=@{Startup\DLC} -DWork.Dir=@{WorkPath}
-Djava.jvmargs=@{JAVA\JVMARGS} -Djava.security.policy=@{JAVA\JAVAPOLICY}
-Dadmsrv.jvm=@{JAVA\JREHOME}\bin\java -Djvmstart.debug=0
com.progress.chimera.adminserver.AdminServerType -start -service -port
20555 -adminport 7840
Note: This is one long continuous string. To edit this string put the
cursor in the string value and scroll to the right till you reach the
end then type in the bolded portions above. There is one space between
'-service' and '-port' and between '-port' and '20555' and between
'20555' and '-adminport' and between '-adminport' and '7840.'
-port 20555 -adminport 7840
These port numbers are arbitrary, but be extra careful not to use port
numbers already in use and try not to use numbers under 5000 since the
databases and their server processes spawn down in that range and there
are limited ports available depending on what you have running on your
server.
Step 3. Start the AdminService for 9.1D
Now that the edits are appropriately made, start the AdminService for
9.1D.
[Start] --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Services
Then start the AdminService for 9.1D and change the 'Startup Type' under
properties to 'Automatic.'
Then for good measure, stop and start the service again. Allow for time
to stop and start.
Step 4. Create new shortcuts on the desktop
Since having two version of Progress each of which has a PET icon can
lead to confusion since it will not be easy to detect which version you
are in. I recommend creating two new shortcuts that start the PET each
labeled clearly as to which version they represent.
[Start] --> Programs --> OpenEdge 10 --> Progress Explorer Tool
Then only by selecting it right click and drag it on to the desktop
'Create shortcut here' (windows 2000 or higher only)
If you are on NT 4 you will need to right click on the Start button -
Open all users - Programs - OpenEdge - Progress Explorer Tool, then
select and right click and drag on to desktop.
Upon creating the Shortcut right click 'Rename' to 'PET 10.0B' or other
clear label.
Repeat this procedure for the Progress 9.1D Explorer Tool shortcut.
Step 5. Launch and setup the Progress Explorer Tool (PET)
Since it is assumed that the Progress Explorer Tool for 10.0B has
already been performed. We move to setup the PET for 9.1D.
From the desktop launch the PET 10.0B to ensure that it works
appropriately, then minimize it. Now from the desktop launch the PET
9.1D.
When this comes up it will not have any configured servers. Under
'Console Root' -- 'Progress Explorer' right click choose 'Add Progress
Server...' , then under 'Server Properties' -- 'General Tab' fill in the
following:
Server: <name of your server or 'localhost'>
User: <user with administrative rights on the server>
Password: < this user's password>
Check the 'reconnect at login' and depending on the security you want
check the auto login option by 'save username and password.'
Then select the 'Advanced' tab and fill in the port number of '20555' or
what you used for -port in the registry string value.
Step 6. Reboot the server in order for all changes to take affect.
Step 7. Connect to the AdminService
Once the server is restarted, you should be able to connect to the local
host in each of the Progress Explorer Tools. Open these and drill down
to the databases top make sure they are started

I'm trying to setup a server to roll my database from 6.0 to 9.0.
I've successfully loaded 6.0 and 6.1 in on partition. When I loaded
Openedge 10B I could now longer access my 6x databases via PET. What's
the process for setting them up on different ports both are trying to
use the same port.
