<strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> configurations<br />

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<br />

consistent interface in which specific <strong>OpenEdge</strong> products such as the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> can be managed. It supports elements that allow you to per<strong>for</strong>m such<br />

common administrative tasks as<br />

• Starting and stopping processes<br />

• Managing, configuring, and validating property files<br />

These elements include the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Management</strong>/<strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer<br />

configuration tool, 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<br />

framework’s central element, enables supported products like the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> MS<br />

<strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> in managing an application’s resources.<br />

For details about the Unified Broker Framework, its elements, and the <strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

products that employ its features, see <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Getting Started: Installation and<br />

Configuration.<br />

A closer look at the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Management</strong> or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer interface<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Management</strong> or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer is a graphical user interface that<br />

provides an easy way <strong>for</strong> you to manage <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers. This interface runs as a<br />

Windows client and works with another administration component, the AdminService,<br />

to provide a client/server framework <strong>for</strong> managing the following <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers.<br />

Using <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Management</strong> or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer, 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 <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Management</strong> or <strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

Explorer, see <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Management</strong> or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer 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> <strong>Management</strong> or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer configuration tool. It<br />

is an alternative approach to configuring and managing the content of the <strong>OpenEdge</strong><br />

property files. Property files, such as the ubroker.properties file used by the<br />

<strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>, store configuration in<strong>for</strong>mation that specifies and controls the behavior of<br />

various components.<br />
