Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Configuring the NameServer in the Progress Explorer

You can use the Progress Explorer to define and configure a NameServer instance. (See the Progress Explorer online help for detailed information.) When you configure a NameServer instance, you can do the following things in each of the property categories:

Location — Sets port numbers and connection types.
General — Sets the working directory, whether the NameServer starts automatically, and when the NameServer unregisters brokers.
Logging setting — Sets how the NameServer logs events.
Advanced features — Specifies one or more NameServers from the already-configured NameServers to serve as Neighboring NameServers. These are the NameServers that provide connection-level fault tolerance for a Unified Broker application. For more information, see Appendix E "NameServer Load Balancing Details."
Environment variables — Sets environment variables for NameServer execution. Windows users refer to Chapter 7, "Working in the OpenEdge Environment in Windows," and UNIX users refer to Chapter 8 "Working in the OpenEdge Environment on UNIX"for more information.
