WebSpeed
Installation and
Configuration Guide


Single-machine Configuration

The most basic configuration for WebSpeed is to install the WebSpeed Workshop product on the same machine as your Web server and a data source. The WebSpeed Workshop uses a subset of the Progress development tools focused on developing and testing WebSpeed applications. With the Workshop, you do not have access to the graphical interface design capabilities of the AppBuilder. Figure 3–1 shows the main components installed in a single-machine configuration, as described below.

NOTE: The WebSpeed Broker and the WebSpeed Agents it controls are collectively referred to as the WebSpeed Transaction Server in this figure.

Figure 3–1: Configuration For Single Developer On a Single Machine

The WebSpeed Workshop includes the WebSpeed Development Server, which supports a single developer. The WebSpeed Development Server comes with only two WebSpeed Agents. The WebSpeed Development Server includes the Personal Database. The Personal Database can handle up to three local connections: one for the WebSpeed AppBuilder, one for the Progress Explorer, and one for the applications that you are developing. This is suitable for the needs of a single developer.

As Figure 3–1 shows, the Web server, the WebSpeed WebTools, and the WebSpeed Messenger form an interdependent unit. While the Web server can handle non-WebSpeed traffic in addition to the WebSpeed traffic, the WebSpeed WebTools and Messenger cannot operate independently from the Web server.

To set up this configuration, follow these general steps:

  1. Install a Web browser and a Web server on your machine.
  2. Perform a Complete Installation of the WebSpeed Workshop onto your machine.
  3. You need to perform a Complete Installation because the installation program treats the components that make up the WebSpeed Development Server as optional and does not include them in a Typical Installation.
