Configuring distributed <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> applications using<br />
the Unified Broker Framework<br />
The Unified Broker Framework is a system administration framework that provides a consistent<br />
interface in which specific <strong>OpenEdge</strong> products such as the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> can<br />
be managed. It supports elements that allow you to per<strong>for</strong>m such common administrative tasks<br />
as<br />
• Starting and stopping processes<br />
• Managing, configuring, and validating property files<br />
These elements include the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer and Progress Explorer configuration tool,<br />
mergeprop utility, and command-line utilities.<br />
The framework also facilities activities that are fundamental to the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />
<strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>’s broker-based technology. For example, the AdminService, the framework’s<br />
central element, enables supported products like the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> in<br />
managing an application’s resources.<br />
For details about the Unified Broker Framework, its elements, and the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> products that<br />
employ its features, see <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.<br />
A closer look at the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer and Progress Explorer tool<br />
The Progress Explorer tool is a graphical user interface that provides an easy way <strong>for</strong> you to<br />
manage <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers. The Progress Explorer tool runs as a Windows client and works with<br />
another administration component, the AdminService, to provide a client/server framework <strong>for</strong><br />
managing the following <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers.<br />
Using the Progress Explorer tool, you can:<br />
• Create new instances of <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers and configure their property settings<br />
• Modify property settings of existing <strong>OpenEdge</strong> server instances<br />
• Start and stop <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers<br />
• Monitor the status of <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers<br />
For more in<strong>for</strong>mation about working with the Progress Explorer tool, see the Progress Explorer<br />
online help.<br />
Using the mergeprop utility<br />
The mergeprop utility is a command-line utility that supports functionality similar to that<br />
supported by the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer and Progress Explorer configuration tool. It is an<br />
alternative approach to configuring and managing the content of the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> property files.<br />
Property files, such as the ubroker.properties file used by the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>, store configuration<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation that specifies and controls the behavior of various components.
