Whenever you create your own version of the ubroker.properties file, you should use the relevant validation utility to validate your changes and make sure that there are no syntax errors or conflicts. When configuring the DataServer for MS SQL Server, you can validate the file by using the mssconfig.bat utility or the mergeprop utility. For more information about the MSSCONFIG utility, see Server Related Command Line Utilities and Startup Parameters. For details about the mergeprop utility, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
