Installation and Configuration Guide

for UNIX
Using a Text Editor and Configuration Utilities
You can update the
ubroker.properties
file manually by opening it locally on the machine where it resides using any text editor. This is the only method available to update Unified Broker configurations locally on a UNIX platform.Guidelines For Editing the Properties File
In general, it is recommended that you update all UNIX configurations remotely using the Progress Explorer tool. If you must update a UNIX configuration locally using a text editor:
- You should not directly change the values in the
ubroker.properties
file unless you have a complete understanding of how the changes affect Unified Broker components. When possible, always use the Progress Explorer to make all changes to this file.- Always make a copy of this file, edit the copy, and verify the result before replacing the original with your edited copy.
- For complete definitions of all the properties and detailed information on how to set them, see the comments included in the properties file.
- Verify the result using the appropriate configuration validation utilities.
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. Each configuration entity has a name that begins the entity definition, and the definition contains configuration settings for one or more products or product instances.
Validating the Properties File
Progress provides a set of configuration validation utilities that you can use to verify the correctness of any changes that you make to this file.
NOTE: If you always use the Progress Explorer from a remote Windows machine, you never have to use these utilities.On UNIX, you can use the:
- ADAPTCONFIG utility — To validate SonicMQ Adapter configurations
- AIACONFIG utility — To validate AppServer Internet Adapter configurations
- ASCONFIG utility — To validate AppServer configurations
- NSCONFIG utility — To validate NameServer configurations
- ORACONFIG utility — To validate DataServer for ORACLE configurations
- WSCONFIG utility — To validate WebSpeed configurations
When you validate the
ubroker.properties
file, make sure that you run the configuration utilities that apply to all the component configurations stored in the file.For more information on editing and validating the
ubroker.properties
file to configure a NameServer, see the "Editing the Properties File" section. For more information on editing and validating the file for each Unified Broker product, see your product documentation.
