orb.properties file to pass the properties that are used by the ORB to modify
the transport behavior of the data grid. No action is required to use the ORB provided by WebSphere eXtreme Scale or WebSphere Application Server for your
WebSphere eXtreme Scale servers.

Request Broker (ORB) is deprecated. If you were not using the ORB in a previous release, use IBM® eXtremeIO (XIO) for your transport mechanism. If you are using
the ORB, consider migrating your configuration to use XIO.
