Web Connection User's Guide
The Lotus Go Webserver for MVS must be configured to properly handle and
route requests for the VisualAge server program. The Go Webserver is
designed to use HFS files in MVS. This means that you must create a
directory to put the WSICNF file into as well as create a symbolic link for
the executable module.
In an OMVS shell, do the following:
- Create an HFS directory for the configuration file (WSICNF) and error
format file (WSIHTM). For example:
/usr/lpp/wsi.
- FTP the web server interface configuration files to the directory.
- Note:
- The web server interface files are installed in a webconn of the
VisualAge client. You can rename these files, for example from
abtwsi.* to mywsi.*. If you do this, you must reflect
their new location and name in the ABTWSI_BASENAME field in the
abtwsi.pro file. For example, if you renamed the files from
abtwsi* to mywsi*, you would need to point to <path>/mywsi in
the ABTWSI_BASENAME field.
- Create an external symbolic link in the Go Webserver cgi-bin directory
that links to the ABTWSAI executable, which is in an MVS load library.
For example, from your Go Webserver cgi-bin directory, ln -e ABTWSAI
abtwsai.so. For more information about creating external
symbolic links, refer to the OS/390 Open Edition MVS User's
Guide.
In TSO, do the following:
- Edit the Go Webserver start up PROC (IMWEBSRV).
- Modify the STEPLIB concatenation in IMWEBSRV to include the load library
containing ABTWSAI.
- Add the following statements to IMWEBSRV:
//ABTCNF DD PATH='/usr/lpp/wsi/abtwsi.cnf',PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY)
//ABTHTM DD PATH='/usr/lpp/wsi/abtwsi.htm',PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY)
//ABTLOG DD SYSOUT=*
From the Go Webserver configuration and administration page, update your
HTTP server configuration by doing the following:
- Start your web server.
- Open a web browser and point it to your server location (the hostname of
the server).
- On the Go Webserver page, select Configuration and Administration
Forms.
- On the Configuration and Administration page, select GWAPI
Application Processing.
- On the GWAPI page, for ServerInit, specify the server
initialization directive. For example:
/webserver/cgi-bin/abtwsai.so:AbtWsiServerInit
- For ServerTerm, specify the server termination
directive. For example:
/webserver/cgi-bin/abtwsai.so:AbtWsiServerTerm
- Apply the changes.
- On the Configuration and Administration page, select *Service
in the Action drop-down list.
- For the URL request template, specify
/abtwsi*.
- For Replacement file path, specify the service
directive. For example:
/webserver/cgi-bin/abtwsai.so:AbtWsiService*
- Apply the changes and restart the web server.
