OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuration

Configuring AppServers and AppServer Internet Adapters
5–4
Like the ubroker.properties file, a similar file, conmgr.properties, stores all the properties
for each instance of an OpenEdge database. For more information about OpenEdge
Management and OpenEdge Explorer and the database configuration properties, see Chapter 2,
“Configuring OpenEdge Databases.”
The ubroker.properties file resides in the properties subdirectory of the OpenEdge install
directory. The file is editable and any changes that you make to it are automatically reflected in
the management console.
Note: Although making manual edits to the ubroker.properties file is possible, Progress
Software recommends that you use the Mergeprop utility or the management console
to make property changes. For more information about the Mergeprop utility, see
OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
Configuring an AppServer
From the management console, you can view or modify an AppServer broker’s default
configuration properties in the following overall categories:
• Broker
• Agent
• SSL
• Messaging
• Environment variables
You can also create a new AppServer instance, view an instance’s status, delete an instance you
no longer need, or view the instance’s log files.
Each of these tasks is described in the sections that follow.
Viewing or modifying AppServer broker properties
You can view or modify AppServer broker properties in the following categories: general
properties, owner information, controlling NameServer information, AppService Name List
information, logging setting details, and advanced features.
To view or modify AppServer broker properties:
1. Click Resources in the management console menu bar. The main resource types appear in
the list frame.
2. In the list frame, expand the OpenEdge category.
3. Expand the AppServer category, and select an AppServer broker. The Details page for
that broker appears in the detail frame.
