Configuring the NameServer in OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer

You can use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to define and configure a NameServer instance. (See the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer online help for detailed information.) When you configure a NameServer instance, you can do the following things in each of the property categories:

Location — Sets port numbers and connection types.

General — Sets the working directory, even when the NameServer starts automatically, and when the NameServer unregisters brokers.

Logging setting — Sets how the NameServer logs events.

Advanced features — Specifies one or more NameServers from the already-configured NameServers to serve as Neighboring NameServers. These are the NameServers that provide connection-level fault tolerance for a Unified Broker application. For more information, see NameServer and NameServer Load Balancing Details

Environment variables — Sets environment variables for NameServer execution. Windows users should refer to Working in the OpenEdge Environment in Windows and UNIX users should refer to Working in the OpenEdge Environment on UNIX for more information.
