OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer command line utilities for the DataServer
Notes • A single NameServer can simultaneously support all of the AppServer,
WebSpeed and DataServer products using OpenEdge Management or
OpenEdge Explorer.
• 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 NSCONFIG, 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.
The NameServer 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.
[NameServer] Defines default property settings for
all instances of a NameServer.
[NameServer.product–instance–name] Defines property settings for this
instance of a NameServer. 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
[NameServer], and then again by its child
[NameServer.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.
Optionally, you can edit the ubroker.properties file using a text editor such as
Notepad. If you want to manually edit this file to create or modify a product
configuration, begin by making a backup copy from the installed
ubroker.properties file (and naming it for example, test.properties). Once
you edit the properties file, use the relevant validation utility such as NSCONFIG
to validate the changes and make sure there are no syntax errors or conflicts.
