The ubroker.properties 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 AppServer configurations in ubroker.properties are shown in the the following table.
Table 54. Ubroker.properties file structure
Configuration entity name
Configuration entity function
[UBroker]
Defines default property settings for all NameServer, AppServer, DataServer, and WebSpeed Transaction Server brokers.
[UBroker.AS]
Defines default property settings for all instances of an AppServer.
[UBroker.AS. product-instance-name ]
Defines property settings for this instance of an AppServer. 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. 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.
Like the ubroker.properties file, a similar file, conmgr.properties, stores all the properties for each instance of an OpenEdge database. The conmgr.properties file is installed in the OpenEdge-install-dir\properties\conmgr.properties.
