OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Configuring a remote DataServer
When you use this file to configure the DataServer for MS SQL Server, you provide information
that enables the host to start a broker that spawns the appropriate DataServer process
(_msssrv.exe).
Each configuration definition contains the environment variable and property settings for a
broker instance. The command-line utilities use this file to store, validate, and manage the
configurations for these brokers. A single copy of this file maintains all supported broker
configurations for each OpenEdge installation.
Editing the ubroker.properties file
The simplest way to make configuration changes to the ubroker.properties file is to copy an
existing broker or NameServer definition and then modify the copied values as required for your
configuration. You must ensure that all related properties and sections of the file are properly
specified for each broker or NameServer instance.
Note: Be sure to preserve the original %DLC%\properties\ubroker.properties file.
Rename the original file and work with a copy of the file. You must name the copy of
the file ubroker.properties.
Table 5–3 describes the sections in the ubroker.properties file that apply to the DataServer
for MS SQL Server. The file configures a default NameServer named NameServer.NS1 and a
default broker named mssbroker1, which you can use either without editing or as templates for
your own configuration specifications.
