Development Network With a Dedicated Web Server

Another common configuration is a network made up of workstations; a machine that handles the Web server, WebSpeed WebTools, and WebSpeed Messenger; and a machine that handles the WebSpeed Transaction Server, the applications, and data source. Figure 3–3 shows the main components installed in this 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 3–3: Development Network With a Dedicated Web Server

This configuration has the WebSpeed Messenger installed on the Web server’s machine, Europa. The host machine, Jupiter, uses the WebSpeed Transaction Server. Because the WebSpeed Transaction Server does not come with a database, you must install the Workgroup Database or the appropriate DataServer to connect to your non-Progress database.

One of the workstations, Ganymede, has ProVision Plus installed to gain access to the full capabilities of the AppBuilder. The developer using Ganymede can alternate between developing Web applications and non-Web-based applications. The other workstation, Callisto, has the WebSpeed Workshop installed. The developer using Callisto can only develop Web applications with the WebSpeed AppBuilder.

To set up this configuration, follow these general steps:

  1. Install a Web server on Europa.
  2. Perform a Typical Installation of the WebSpeed Transaction Server on Jupiter.
  3. Install the appropriate components for your intended data source on Jupiter:
    • If you use the Progress Database, perform a Typical Installation of the Workgroup Database.
    • If you connect to a non-Progress data source, install the appropriate Progress DataServers for your data source. See the appropriate Progress DataServer guide for details.
  4. Perform a Typical Installation of the WebSpeed Messenger on Europa.
  5. Copy the static HTML and GIF (.gif) files from Jupiter’s DLC/progress/webspeed directory to your Web server’s /docroot/webspeed directory on Europa. These are the files for the WebSpeed WebTools that must reside with your Web server.
  6. Perform a Typical Installation of ProVision Plus on the Ganymede workstation.
  7. Perform a Typical Installation of the WebSpeed WorkShop on the Callisto workstation.
Beyond the Basic Installation

If you need access to any of the DataServers for your applications, you can add them by performing a Complete Installation of the WebSpeed Transaction Server on Jupiter, ProVision Plus on Ganymede, and the WebSpeed Workshop on Callisto.
