I have multiple databases; how can I find out the name of the broker for all of my databases?

Answer:
To find the name of the database broker, you will need to go to OpenEdge Explorer on the FIMS database server. These steps are assuming you are on a supported version of Windows Server, 2012 or above:
 
  1. Go to the FIMS database server
  2. Click the Windows button on the lower left corner of the screen
  3. Click the down arrow all of the way at the bottom to go to the Apps screen.
  4. In the Apps screen scroll over to the right until you find the Progress section
  5. You will see OpenEdge Explorer in the list
  6. Click to open it
  7. You will see a log in screen. See support for the default credentials which you can change later.
  8. Once logged in go to Resources to see a list of the databases
In this example, there are two databases, found which is the live database and demo which is the demo database. The broker name for the live data is found, the broker name for the demo database is demo indicated in the .found and .demo after the server name.

Additionally, you can see the path for each of those databases by clicking the link for each one:
