> Location | Specific values that pertain to these fields: NameServer location — Indicates whether the NameServer is local or remote. A local service identifies a NameServer instance that runs locally on the selected host. A remote service runs remotely on a network machine that is separate from the selected host. Host name — Identifies the name of the host machine. Port number — Identifies the number of the UDP port that the NameServer uses to listen for client connection requests and registration messages from AppServers and Transaction Servers.
> General | Specific values that pertain to these fields: Working directory — Identifies the NameServer working directory, including the pathname. Broker keep alive timeout — Identifies a value, in seconds, that indicates how often the NameServer should check for Unified Broker instances that have timed out. When a Unified Broker instance registers with a NameServer, the instance indicates how often it will send "keep-alive" messages by setting a registration retry value Once a NameServer determines that it has not received a "keep-alive" message from a Unified Broker instance within the broker's registration retry time, the NameServer automatically unregisters the instance. Autostart — Indicates whether the NameServer will start automatically when the controlling AdminServer starts. If the value 1 displays, Autostart option is set. If the value zero displays, then the Autostart option is not set.
> Logging | Specific values that pertain to these fields: Server log filename — Identifies the NameServer log filename, including the pathname. Logging level — Displays one of three possible values to specify the amount of information to be written to the server log: Error only, Terse, or Verbose. Append to log file — Indicates if a new NameServer log file will be created when the NameServer is started. A 1 indicates that log entries will be appended to the existing NameServer log file.
> Advanced | Specific value that pertains to this optional field: Neighboring NameServers — Identifies a list of selected NameServers to which this NameServer can forward connection requests for Application Services that are not registered with it (that is, the Application Service name is unknown).
> Environment | Specific NameServer environment variables that are defined for the process in which the NameServer executes.
