Deployment Configuration With a Dedicated Web Server

When you deploy your applications, you do not need all the components that usually exist in a development configuration. A deployment configuration might look like the one shown in Figure 3–5.

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

Figure 3–5: Deployment Configuration With a Dedicated Web Server

This configuration has the WebSpeed Messenger product installed on the Web server’s machine, Oberon. The main machine, Uranus, has the WebSpeed Enterprise Transaction Server and some data source. The end users only need a Web browser to link up to your applications. They do not need any Progress product installed on their machines.

To set up this configuration, follow these general steps:

  1. Install a Web server on Oberon.
  2. Perform a Typical Installation of the WebSpeed Messenger on Oberon.
  3. NOTE: Since the WebSpeed WebTools are only meant for developers, do not copy the files from the DLC/progress/webspeed directory on Uranus into the Web server’s /docroot directory in this configuration.

  4. Perform a Typical Installation of the WebSpeed Enterprise Transaction Server on Uranus.
  5. Install the appropriate components for your intended data source on Uranus:
    • If you use the Progress Database, perform a Typical Installation of the Enterprise 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.
  6. Install your r-code on Uranus and include its location in your PROPATH.
  7. Copy any Java applet, static HTML, and GIF files needed for your applications to the Web server’s /docroot/webspeed directory on Oberon.
Beyond the Basic Installation

As described, this configuration uses the components for a heavy load system. If you expect a light load on the network, you might consider installing the WebSpeed Transaction Server and Workgroup Database instead of the Enterprise Transaction Server and Enterprise Database. The WebSpeed Transaction Server can handle up to 50 WebSpeed Agents. The Workgroup Database can handle up to 65 connections.

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 Uranus.
