WebSpeed
Installation and
Configuration Guide
Setting Environment Variables
Environment variables required by WebSpeed are set during installation in the
ubroker.properties
file. You might need to set the PROPATH and other standard environment variables (for example, DLC) on the WebSpeed Transaction Server machine.NOTE: In distributed configurations, you must edit the appropriate environment variables on each machine where you have WebSpeed components installed.You can change most of these settings using the Progress Explorer or by editing the WebSpeed property file,
ubroker.properties
. Note that it is not necessary to modify the Windows NT registry or the system environment variables (through the NT Control Panel).PROPATH and Other Standard Progress Environment Variables
When you install the WebSpeed Transaction Server, the installation process sets PROPATH for you in the
ubroker.properties
file. PROPATH initially includes a number of subdirectories in your installation directory. In addition, the PROPATH includes a dot ( . ) directory reference. When the agent sees the dot, the process substitutes the name of its current working directory. For example, the agents resolve the dot to their broker’s default directory, which is the working directory.You can override installed PROPATH settings using the PROPATH property in the properties file (
ubroker.properties
).Working Directory Settings
The properties file relies on a default setting for the working directory that you specify during installation. You can remove or modify the references in the properties file to establish your own working directory settings for both the WebSpeed Transaction Server and the NameServer.
For more information on Progress environment settings, see the “Environment Variables” section in the “Setting Up Your Environment” chapter of the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows .
Configuring WebSpeed and NameServer Log Files
For disk management reasons, you might want to specify a non-default location for the log files used by WebSpeed. A WebSpeed installation uses a number of different log files, which are stored in the default working directory. For example:
[TransactionServername.]server.log
—WebSpeed Transaction Server log file set using the srvrLogFile property in the [Ubroker] section of the properties file[TransactionServername.]broker.log
—WebSpeed Broker log file set using the brokerLogFile property in the [Ubroker] section of the properties file[NameServername.]ns.log
—NameServer log file set using the srvrLogFile property in the [NameServer] section of the properties fileAfter you decide where you want log files to reside, you can specify the location for each in the Progress Explorer or by directly editing the
ubroker.properties
file. For more information, see the "Configuring WebSpeed Components" section.Because log files receive the WebSpeed and NameServer startup and shutdown messages, Progress system messages, and trace messages, the file can grow quickly. If you have the Append option set in the Transaction Server’s configuration, these log files do not truncate automatically. In this case, you should periodically trim the file with a text editor. You might want to archive the file contents as you do it. For more information on maintaining log files, see the "Maintaining the WebSpeed Transaction Server and NameServer Log Files" section.
