Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Unified Broker installation prerequisites

Before you install a new Unified Broker version, either to overwrite an existing installation or to add additional OpenEdge components to the current installation, make copies of your ubroker.properties, conmgr.properties, and proxygen.preferences files and place them in another directory. This is necessary because the new installation automatically upgrades the files in the install-path\properties directory. After you have finished your new installation, replace the newly installed versions of these files with your copies. When you start the AdminServer, your older files will be updated to match the current standards for these files.

When you uninstall an existing Progress or OpenEdge product, the process copies ubroker.properties, conmgr.properties, and proxygen.preferences, the three files in the install-path\properties directory, to \%TEMP%. After installing a new OpenEdge Release 10.1A product, you can manually copy back the files from \%TEMP%.

Under certain conditions, you might have to modify this file. You can use the mergeprop utility or a text editor.

Note: Each configuration definition contains environment variables, registry entries, and property settings for each product instance. Progress Explorer and the associated command-line configuration utilities use this file to store and validate the configurations for the products.
