To configure a NameServer and Unified Broker instance, you generally configure components in the following order:
1. Controlling NameServer and any replicated or neighbor NameServers
2. Unified Broker product components
In OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, you must have an initial configuration for the controlling NameServer instance to identify it when you configure your Unified Broker product instance. Editing the properties file, you can configure these components in any order. Whatever order you configure these components, you must have the controlling NameServer configured and running before clients can access your Unified Broker instance.
