Editing the ubroker.properties File

You can edit ubroker.properties directly using any text editor to create new WebSpeed Transaction Server and NameServer configurations or edit existing configurations. The simplest way to make new configurations in the ubroker.properties file is to copy an existing Transaction Server or NameServer definition and then modify the values of the copy’s properties to suit your needs. When you do this, you must be sure to supply each definition with its own uuid setting, as described in the list of required unique parameters later in this section.

From a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 machine, you can also use the Progress Explorer remotely to create and configure instances of the WebSpeed Transaction Server or the NameServer on the UNIX platform.

If you edit the configuration by hand, without the Progress Explorer, note that:

NOTE: If you install the NameServer product on a separate host from the WebSpeed Transaction Server, the NameServer installation includes its own copy of the properties file.

You must ensure that all related properties and sections of the file are properly specified for each Transaction Server or NameServer instance. If you do edit the file directly, use the appropriate configuration utility to validate the product configuration that you have edited:

For a complete overview of all the sections in the ubroker.properties file and more information on how to edit the file, see the comments in the file or sections on the ubroker.properties file in the “Configuring Progress Unified Broker Products” chapter in the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX .
