Installation

The S/Web installation occurs in two parts, the LH Server section and the Web Server section. They may be installed in any order desired.

If AutoPlay or AutoRun is installed on your CD ROM drive, then the S/Web installation will begin automatically. Otherwise, you must begin the process manually. The installation program SETUP.EXE can be found in the root of the CD-ROM drive. Double-click this program to being installation.

Starting S/Web

S/Web can run in two modes, normal or gateway. Advanced Revelation and OpenInsight start S/Web differently so these options will be made clearing in the respective sections.

Advanced Revelation

S/Web is started by running the catalogued program WWW_SERVER.

By default S/Web loads in normal mode. To have S/WEB load in gateway mode, you need to add the GATEWAY option to the end of the sentence.

(The image is meant to show both options available, and is not meant to be typical of how the screen is supposed to look).

The gateway mode allows the develop to see more information about the current running server.

In both modes, it's you can press F5 to bring up a TCL command line.

To exit S/Web, although we don't see why you would ever want to, just press the ESC key.

OpenInsight

To start S/Web from OpenInsight, type EXEC WWW_GATEWAY from the system monitor.

We recommend creating a start-up program to automatically load the Gateway when OpenInsight is started. Our system start up procedure is

Subroutine Sysprog_Startup_Proc( P1, P2 )
Call Start_Window( "WWW_GATEWAY", "", "", "", "" )
Return

This is loaded in field 32 of the ENV_AppName row in SYSENV. See the ENVIRON_CONSTANTS Insert row for more information.
