Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ORACLE

ORACONFIG utility

Use the ORACONFIG utility to help you debug existing OpenEdge DataServer for ORACLE configurations defined in a properties file, such as the ubroker.properties file. This utility displays the property settings associated with an OpenEdge DataServer for ORACLE configuration, and checks that the syntax and values are valid.

The ORACONFIG utility runs locally, on the machine on which the AdminServer is running. The utility does not run across the network.

Syntax

Operating System	Syntax
UNIX Windows	oraconfig [ [ [ -name DataServer-name ]           [ -propfile path-to-properties-file ]           [ -validate ] ] | -help ]

Parameters

-name DataServer-name

Specifies which existing OpenEdge DataServer for ORACLE configuration to examine. The name must match the name of an existing OpenEdge DataServer for ORACLE configuration defined in the specified properties file. If you do not specify a DataServer by name, the ORACONFIG utility analyzes all OpenEdge DataServer for ORACLE 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:

%DLC%\properties\ubroker.properties in Windows.
$DLC/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

The ubroker.properties file stores all the configuration definitions for each instance of the NameServer, AppServer, DataServer, and WebSpeed Transaction Server products. Each configuration definition contains environment variables, registry entries if Windows, and property settings for each product instance. Progress Explorer and certain command-line utilities such as ORACONFIG use this file to store, validate, and manage the configurations for the products.

The ubroker.properties file is installed in the properties subdirectory of the OpenEdge installation directory. For example, $DLC/properties/ubroker.properties on UNIX, or %DLC%\properties\ubroker.properties in Windows.

The file consists of a hierarchical structure of configuration entities, where parent entities provide configuration information that you can override or extend in each child entity.
