Sample Application Setup

To run the Sample applications, the WebSpeed Agent needs to connect to the sports2000 database.  Reference the Getting Started with WebSpeed documentation for setup information or follow these steps:

  1. Using the Data Administration tools, make a copy of the sports2000 database from your installation directory (e.g. "installation-directory\sports2000") into your working directory (e.g. "c:\progress\wrk\sports2000").
  2. Also copy the sports2000 database triggers directory from your installation directory (i.e. "installation-directory\sports2000\sports2000trgs"   into your working directory (e.g. "c:\progress\wrk\sports2000trgs").
  3. Start the sports2000 database in multi-user mode using ProControl or proserve.
  4. Start the AdminServer and NameServer.  For Windows NT, you can start these services by selecting the services icon in the Control Panel, and starting the AdminService for Progress (note: this is set by default to start automatically after install).  For Unix, run "installation-directory\bin\proadsv -start".
  5. Start the Progress Explorer or edit the "installation-directory\properties\ubroker.properties" file.
    • Either edit an existing WebSpeed broker service (e.g. wsbroker1) or create a new broker service.
    • Configure the Agents for the broker service as follows:
    • In the Progress Explorer, append to the WebSpeed broker Startup Parameters entry by adding the location of your database, e.g.: "-db c:\progress\wrk\sports2000".  Or if editing the ubroker.properties file, the line will now read:
      srvrStartupParam=-p web\objects\web-disp.p -cpstream iso8859-1 -weblogerror -db c:\progress\wrk\sports2000
    • Adjust Server Pool Parameters as desired (e.g. 2 agents).
    • Save the changes and start the broker service using Progress Explorer or by running "installation-directory\bin\wtbman -name wsbroker1 -start"  using the appropriate broker service name.
    • Verify that the broker service is running using the Progress Explorer and SpeedStart utility.
    • Verify the database connection. In WebSpeed WebTools, select Databases.
