Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

> ## NSCONFIG

> Displays the property settings associated with a NameServer configuration and checks that the syntax and values are valid. The `NSCONFIG` utility runs locally on the machine where the AdminService is running. The utility does not run across the network.

> #### Syntax

> Operating system | Syntax
> --- | ---
> Windows |
>     nsconfig [
>       [ [ -name name-server ]
>         [ -propfile path-to-properties-file ]
>         [ -validate ]
>       ] | -help ]

> `-name `name-server``

> Specifies which existing NameServer configuration to examine. The name must match the name of an existing NameServer configuration in the specified properties file. If you do not specify a NameServer, the `NSCONFIG` utility analyzes all NameServer configurations defined in the properties file specified by the `-propfile` parameter.

> `-propfile `path-to-properties-file``

> Specifies a filename or pathname to a file that contains the property settings to be validated, for example, `test.properties`. If a filename or pathname is not specified, it defaults to the installation version of the `ubroker.properties` file, such as:

> - `install-path``\properties\ubroker.properties` in Windows.
> - `install-path``/properties/ubroker.properties` on UNIX.
> `-validate`

> Checks the syntax and values of property settings defined in the specified properties file.

> `-help`

> Displays command-line help.

> #### Notes

> - Never needed if you always use the Progress Explorer GUI.

> - A single NameServer can simultaneously support all of the AppServer, WebSpeed, and DataServer products using Progress Explorer.

> Examples

> Table B–3 shows several examples that use the `NSCONFIG` command. Assume the NameServer is `NS1`.

> Table B–3: NSCONFIG command examples
