Accessing and reviewing Informational views

The Properties link in the Informational views section allows you to access static configuration details about a specific NameServer instance.

To access and review Properties details:

  1. Display the NameServer main page for the instance that you want to start. See the "Accessing OpenEdge resource information" section for the detailed steps.
  2. Click Properties in the Informational views section to display the Static Configuration page:
  3. This view is comprised of a single Properties section that displays fields and values previously defined in the ubroker.properties file. These values are derived at startup.

    Table 5–5 describes the contents of this section.

    Location
    The specific values that pertain to these fields:
    • NameServer location — Indicates whether the NameServer is local or remote. A local service identifies a NameServer instance that runs locally on the selected host. A remote service runs remotely on a network machine that is separate from the selected host.
    • Host name — Identifies the name of the host machine.
    • Port number — Identifies the number of the UDP port that the NameServer uses to listen for client connection requests and registration messages from AppServers and Transaction Servers.
    General
    The specific values that pertain to these fields:
    • Working directory — Identifies the NameServer working directory, including the pathname.
    • Broker keep alive timeout — Identifies a value, in seconds, that indicates how often the NameServer should check for Unified Broker instances that have timed out.
    • When a Unified Broker instance registers with a NameServer, the instance indicates how often it will send "keep-alive" messages by setting a registration retry value. Once a NameServer determines that it has not received a "keep-alive" message from a Unified Broker instance within the broker's registration retry time, the NameServer automatically unregisters the instance.
    • Autostart — Indicates whether the NameServer will start automatically when the controlling AdminServer starts. If the value 1 displays, the Autostart option is set. If the value zero displays, then the Autostart option is not set.
    Logging
    The specific values that pertain to these fields:
    • Server log filename — Identifies the NameServer log filename, including the pathname.
    • Logging level — Displays one of three possible values to specify the amount of information to be written to the server log: Error only, Terse, or Verbose.
    • Append to log file — Indicates if a new NameServer log file will be created when the NameServer is started. A 1 indicates that log entries will be appended to the existing NameServer log file.
    Advanced
    The specific value that pertains to this optional field:
    • Neighboring NameServers — Identifies a list of selected NameServers to which this NameServer can forward connection requests for Application Services that are not registered with it (that is, the Application Service name is unknown).
    Environment
    The specific NameServer environment variables that are defined for the process in which the NameServer executes.
