SAS/IntrNet CGI Tools

 

Installation Instructions: SAS/IntrNet CGI Tools
Release 9.1.3 for Windows

This package contains SAS/IntrNet CGI components and samples to be installed on a Web server. The following components are included.

Note: You must install SAS 9.1, including SAS/IntrNet software, somewhere on your network in order to use the contents of this package.

Installing the CGI Tools

This package is an executable setup program (websrv.exe). The setup program will install SAS/IntrNet CGI Tools on a Windows Web server system. The program will prompt for Web server configuration information and then install CGI executables, configurations files and samples.

Once the installation is complete, verify that your Web server is configured to execute CGI programs in the path you selected in the installation script. You can test the installation by viewing the Application Broker URL with a Web browser. For example, enter http://<your_server>/scripts/broker.exe? and you will see a version message if the CGI Tools were installed and the Web server is configured correctly.

Verify that your Web server is configured to serve the SAS/IntrNet samples from the path you specified in the installation script. You can test the installation by viewing the main samples page at http://<your_server>/sasweb/IntrNet9/samples.html. The samples will not be functional until you complete the configuration steps listed below.

SAS/IntrNet CGI Tools are now installed on your Web server. See the following sections for information on configuring and using the components contained in this package. See the product documentation at http://support.sas.com/rnd/web/intrnet/ for full information.

Using Application Dispatcher

Application Broker

If this is the first time you are installing the Application Broker on this system, you must update the broker.cfg file in the CGI executable directory to include the location of your Application Server(s). See the Completing the Installation section of the Application Dispatcher documentation for more information. If this is an upgrade installation, see the Upgrading From a Previous Version secition of the documentation.

Load Manager

The Load Manager executable can be found in the tools directory under the sasweb/IntrNet9 directory you created during the installation. See the Application Dispatcher documentation for more information on the Load Manager.

Samples

Application Dispatcher samples and the Xplore sample application can be found on the SAS/IntrNet CGI Tools samples page at http://<your_server>/sasweb/IntrNet9/samples.html.

Using htmSQL

If this is the first time you are installing htmSQL on this system, you should review the htmSQL.cfg file in the CGI executable directory to verify that the options in the default file are suitable for your system. You must also set up a Data Source Definition file using the dsdef.exe utility contained in the sasweb/IntrNet9/tools directory. See the htmSQL documentation for more information.

Samples

htmSQL samples can be found on the SAS/IntrNet CGI Tools samples page at http://<your_server>/sasweb/IntrNet9/samples.html.

Using the Tunnel Feature for Java Tools

The Tunnel Feature Server Programs enable the tunnel feature for Java Tools applications served by this Web server. If this is the first time you are installing the Server Programs on this Web server, modify the configuration file (shrcgi.cfg) in the CGI executable directory by following the instructions in the file.

You can test your installation with a Web browser. Enter the URL corresponding to the shrcgi program (for example, http://<your_server>/scripts/shrcgi.exe?). A page will be displayed showing environment variable settings for the Tunnel Feature Server Programs. An error will be displayed if the server program is not installed or configured properly.
