> ## Configuring an AIA by editing the properties file

> Although it is recommended that you use the Progress Explorer whenever possible, as an alternative you can edit the `ubroker.properties` file to configure the AIA. See the "Editing the properties file" section for a description and guidelines for editing this file.

> ##### AIA entities in the properties file

> The AIA configurations in `ubroker.properties` can include the entities listed in Table 3–2.

> Table 3–2: AIA configuration entity names
> Configuration entity name | Configuration entity function
> --- | ---
>     [AIA]
> | Defines default property settings for all instances of an AIA.
>     [AIA.product-instance-name]
> | Defines property settings for this instance of an AIA. The `ubroker.properties` file can contain several of these entities, each with a unique `product-instance-name`. For an AIA, `product-instance-name` is the name you specify for the AIA instance.

> For complete definitions of all the properties and detailed information on how to set them, see the `ubroker.properties.README` file, as well as the comments included in the properties file itself. Both files reside in the `properties` directory.

> ##### Validating changes to the ubroker.properties file

> If you use a tool other than Progress Explorer to edit the values in the `ubroker.properties` file, you can use the `AIACONFIG` command to validate the changes made to the `ubroker.properties` file for an AIA instance.

> The `AIACONFIG` command has the following syntax:

> Syntax
>     aiaconfig [
>      [  [ -name AIA-instance-name ]
>         [ -propfile path-to-properties-file ]
>         [ -validate ]
>      ] | -help ]

> Note: If you upgrade to a new version of OpenEdge, you might want to retain changes made to the previous version’s `ubroker.properties` file. If that is the case, place the old properties file in the installed `properties` directory to replace the default. When starting the AdminServer for the first time, a properties file conversion utility automatically runs.

> For more information on the `AIACONFIG` command, see the "AIACONFIG" section.
