Overview of the ubroker.properties file

The ubroker.properties file is the property file for all Unified broker products, WebSpeed Messengers, and the NameServer. All values that define instances of the WebSpeed Transaction Server and the NameServer are stored within this file. The Progress Explorer and the command-line utilities use this information when working with instances of all processes.

The ubroker.properties file resides in the install-path\dlc\properties directory. It is a fully commented file containing information relevant to setting properties for your WebSpeed configuration.

From a Windows machine, you use the Progress Explorer to create and configure instances of the WebSpeed Transaction Server or the NameServer on the Windows platform or remote UNIX platforms. It is possible to do this by editing the ubroker.properties file manually. See the "Overview of the ubroker.properties file" section for more information on the ubroker.properties file.

Note: You can use the mergeprop utility installed with OpenEdge to manually edit the ubroker.properties file. For information on using mergeprop, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .
