Development Network With a Central WebSpeed Machine

A common WebSpeed configuration is a network where a central machine handles most of the WebSpeed components. Individual developers only need the WebSpeed AppBuilder and a Web browser on their workstations. Figure 3–2 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 3–2: Development Network With a Central WebSpeed Machine

This configuration uses the WebSpeed Transaction Server and some data source on the central machine and the WebSpeed Workshop on the workstations. Figure 3–2 shows a central machine, Mars, configured to support two development workstations, Phobos and Deimos.

The WebSpeed Transaction Server supports a team of developers creating WebSpeed applications. You can start up as many WebSpeed Agents as you have licenses for. Depending on the locking strategies for WebSpeed Agents you use in your applications, any given Agent might serve the needs of several developers or only one developer. Because the WebSpeed Transaction Server does not come with a database, you need to install either the Workgroup Database or the appropriate DataServer to connect to your non-Progress database.

To set up this configuration, follow these general steps:

  1. Install a Web server on Mars.
  2. Perform a Typical Installation of the WebSpeed Transaction Server on Mars.
  3. Install the appropriate components for your intended data source on Mars:
    • 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 Typical Installations of the WebSpeed Workshop on Phobos and Deimos.
Beyond the Basic Installation

If you are going to use a non-Progress database, you need to install the appropriate DataServers. Perform Complete Installations, rather than Typical Installations, of the WebSpeed Transaction Server on the Mars server and the WebSpeed Workshop on Phobos and Deimos.
