Ubroker.properties file structure
Ubroker.properties file and product configurations
The ubroker.properties file consists of a hierarchical structure of configuration
entities, where parent entities provide configuration information that you can override
or extend in each child entity. Each configuration entity has a name that begins the
entity definition, and the definition contains configuration settings for one or more
product instances. The AppServer configurations in ubroker.properties are shown
in the Table .
Table 55: Ubroker.properties file structure
Configuration entity
name
Configuration entity
function
[UBroker] Defines default property settings for all
NameServer, AppServer, DataServer,
and WebSpeed Transaction Server
brokers.
[UBroker.AS] Defines default property settings for all
instances of an AppServer.
[UBroker.AS.product-instance-nam
e]
Defines property settings for this
instance of an AppServer. The
ubroker.properties file can contain
several of these entities, each with a
unique product-instance-name.
Parent entities provide default values for all of their child entities. However, at any child
level, a redefinition of any value supersedes the default value of its parent. All children
from the redefinition level down inherit this new value.
Like the ubroker.properties file, a similar file, conmgr.properties, stores all the
properties for each instance of an OpenEdge database. The conmgr.properties file
is installed in the OpenEdge-install-dir\properties\conmgr.properties.
AdminServer and requirements to set an owner for the broker
The AdminServer honors a user’s permissions, according to the user’s profile that was
used to start an AdminServer. For example, a user who intends to start an
AdminServer for another user’s process must have the rights to start this second
process. These rights or settings must be previously set in the broker’s Owner
Information properties category. For more information about the Owner Information
and the owner feature, see the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer online
help.
