Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

Text editor and configuration utilities

You can update the ubroker.properties file manually by either of two methods:

Use the mergeprop utility installed with OpenEdge. For information on using mergeprop, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .
Edit the file directly with any text editor.

To update NameServer and AppServer configurations from a UNIX platform, you must use one of the preceding methods. In general, you should update all UNIX configurations remotely from a Windows platform, using the Progress Explorer GUI. If you must update a UNIX AppServer configuration locally, make a copy of the file, update the copy, and then verify the result. OpenEdge provides a set of configuration validation utilities that you can use to verify the correctness of any changes that you make to this file.

You can use the:

NSCONFIG utility — To validate NameServer configurations. For more information on this utility, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .
ASCONFIG utility — To validate AppServer configurations. For more information on the this utility and on updating the ubroker.properties file manually, see the "Editing the properties file" section.
