Chapter 10: <strong>Configuration</strong><br />

• Install the necessary product components — Typically, this involves installing,<br />

on one or more network machines, the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Unified Broker product <strong>and</strong><br />

additional software components that are required to use the product, such as<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> client or Web server software. If you plan to configure fault-tolerant<br />

servers or use load balancing, you must install a product that includes load<br />

balancing, or install the load-balancing option for your product.<br />

For more information on the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> product installation, see Chapter 3,<br />

“<strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> Prerequisites,” Chapter 4, “Performing an <strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

<strong>Installation</strong> in Windows,” or Chapter 5, “Performing an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> on<br />

UNIX or Linux,” <strong>and</strong> the Windows- or UNIX-specific online help. For more<br />

information on distributing resources in a Unified Broker environment, see the<br />

“Working with Unified Brokers” section on page 281.<br />

Once you complete these preliminary tasks, you can configure <strong>and</strong> start up Unified<br />

Broker instances.<br />

How to configure <strong>and</strong> start up Unified Broker instances<br />

The procedure that follows presents the general steps required to configure <strong>and</strong> start<br />

up Unified Broker instances. Although much of this information has previously been<br />

presented in this chapter’s earlier sections, it is helpful to have a general outline of the<br />

configuration <strong>and</strong> startup activities.<br />

The properties file that comes installed with your Unified Broker product includes one<br />

sample Unified Broker <strong>and</strong> NameServer instance for each type of Unified Broker. You<br />

can use these as a guide.<br />

To configure <strong>and</strong> start up Unified Broker instances:<br />

1. Start the AdminServer process on the machine on which each Unified Broker is<br />

installed:<br />

• In Windows, <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installs the AdminServer as a service that starts<br />

automatically at system boot time.<br />

• On UNIX, you can have the AdminServer started at system startup by editing<br />

your boot script to execute the PROADSV comm<strong>and</strong>.<br />

For information on starting the AdminServer, see the “Starting the<br />

AdminServer” section on page 286.<br />

2. Create <strong>and</strong>/or modify Unified Broker configurations using any of the following<br />

options:<br />

• Mergeprop utility — A comm<strong>and</strong>-line utility you can use through the Proenv<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>-line interface to manage the contents of all properties files of which<br />

the ubroker.properties file pertains to the Unified Brokers discussed in<br />

this section. The utility supports functionality similar to P<strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

Management or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer. For more information about the<br />

mergeprop utility, see the “Mergeprop utility overview” section on page 294.<br />
