SAS/IntrNet 9.2: Application Dispatcher

Using the Application Broker Configuration File

The Application Broker is controlled by the directives in a configuration file. Usually, the configuration file is named broker.cfg and lives in the same directory as the broker executable, but other names or directories can be used in special cases. The Application Broker searches for the configuration file in the following manner:

  1. builds the configuration file name by adding .cfg as the file type to the executable name. For example, broker.exe would look for broker.cfg and broker7 or broker7.cgi would look for broker7.cfg.

  2. checks for the environment variable BROKER_CFG. If this variable exists, it is assumed to contain the path with the configuration file. If the BROKER_CFG variable exists, the configuration file must exist in this directory or the Application Broker will fail to execute.

  3. checks for the configuration file in the same directory as the executable.

Platform Notes

UNIX

z/OS

  • Starting with Release 8.2, the Application Broker configuration file is assumed to be in the encoding specified by the Web server's file system codepage option (FSCP).
  • If the configuration file is not found in any of the locations above, the Application Broker will fail to execute.

    Template Configuration File

    A template Application Broker configuration file named broker.cfg_v9 is installed with SAS/IntrNet. If this is the first installation of SAS/IntrNet, the template file will be installed as your initial Application Broker configuration file. The template contains example directives to help configure the Application Broker for your site. The following pages describe some of these directives in greater detail.

    Modifying the Application Broker Configuration File

    Use the following guidelines when modifying the template configuration file:
