Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
WebSpeed Essentials

> ## Before the first request

> Before the first Web request is processed, the components have to start and pass some basic information. In general, this process runs as follows:

> 1. Start an AdminServer.

> 2. Start a database in multi-user mode with properties supplied by the AdminServer from the `conmgr.properties` file.

> 3. Start a NameServer with properties supplied by the AdminServer from the `ubroker.properties` file.

> 4. Start a WebSpeed broker with properties supplied by the AdminServer from the `ubroker.properties` file.

> 5. The broker spawns its WebSpeed agents using the information it received from the AdminServer.

> 6. The broker registers itself and the application services that it provides with the NameServer.

> By default, the broker sends a message every 30 seconds to notify the NameServer that it is still available to accept requests. If the NameServer does not get a message, it deletes the broker from its “available” list. These messages are not part of the request process.

> 7. Start a Web server, which makes its WebSpeed Messenger available to transfer Web requests.
