This topic describes the parameters in the ubpf.config file.

The default value and description for each ubpf.config file parameter are specific to Progress Developer Studio.

Note: Progress recommends that you do not modify the ubpf.config file manually within Progress Developer Studio. All the parameters can be updated from the Progress Developer Studio user interface (Project Properties) with the exception of the following:
  • streamIO.enabled
  • languages.list
  • textSegGrow
  • minSize.enabled
  • attrSpace.enabled

You can update the ubpf.config file manually to build the project outside Progress Developer Studio.

The dlcHome, database.connectionDetails, and compilableFileExtensions parameters are not used with Progress Developer Studio.

Global parameters

This followig table describes the global parameters.

oeideEvents='' true —
useGlobalToolboxVD='' false —
addDefaultParams='' true Specifies whether to use default startup parameters when starting the AVM.

useProjectCompilerSettings='' false —
saveRCode='' true —
