Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

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.
