Notes • The ubroker.properties file stores all the configuration definitions for each instance of
the NameServer, AppServer, DataServer and WebSpeed Transaction Server products.
Each configuration definition contains environment variables, registry entries if Windows,
and property settings for each product instance. Progress Explorer and certain command
line utilities such as MSSCONFIG, use this file to store, validate and manage the
configurations for the products.
• The ubroker.properties file is installed in the properties subdirectory of the
OpenEdge installation directory. For example, %DLC%\properties\ubroker.properties
in Windows.
• The 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.
For example, the DataServer for MS SQL Server configurations in ubroker.properties
can include:
Configuration entity name Configuration entity function
[UBroker] Defines default property settings for all
NameServer, AppServer, DataServer, and
WebSpeed Transaction Server brokers.
[UBroker.MS] Defines default property settings for all
instances of DataServers for MS SQL
Server.
[UBroker.MS.product–instance–name] Defines property settings for this instance
of a DataServer for MS SQL Server. 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. For example, the parent
[UBroker] contains a set of definitions that can be inherited by its child [UBroker.MS],
and then again by its child [UBroker.MS.product–instance–name]. 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.
