The Unified Broker framework is a system administration framework that provides a consistent interface in which specific OpenEdge products such as the Oracle DataServer can be managed. It supports elements that allow you to perform such common administrative tasks as

  • Starting and stopping processes
  • Managing, configuring, and validating property files

These elements include the OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer configuration tool, mergeprop utility, and command-line utilities.

The framework also facilities activities that are fundamental to the Oracle DataServer's broker-based technology. For example, the AdminService, the framework's central element, enables supported products like the Oracle DataServer in managing an application's resources.

For details about the Unified Broker Framework, its elements, and the OpenEdge products that employ its features, see Configure OpenEdge.
