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.
OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge 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.
