Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Setting environment variables

The environment variable settings required by a Unified Broker product vary according to the product. You can set them during product installation or when you configure the product. You can override most of these settings using the Progress Explorer or by editing the properties file (ubroker.properties).

Working directory settings

The properties file initially references a default environment setting for the working directory that you specify during installation. In Windows, this is set in the registry and referenced in the properties file using @{WorkPath}. On UNIX, this is set in the proadsv script used to start the AdminServer and referenced in the properties file using $WRKDIR. You can remove or modify these references in the properties file to establish your own working directory settings for each Unified Broker and NameServer instance.

General environment settings

For information on OpenEdge environment settings, Windows users see Chapter 7, "Working in the OpenEdge Environment in Windows," and UNIX users see Chapter 8, " Working in the OpenEdge Environment on UNIX." Also, see OpenEdge Deployment: Managing 4GL Applications for information on setting up the environment for any OpenEdge clients you are using with your Unified Broker product. For information on other environment variables unique to your Unified Broker environment, see your product documentation.
