Here are some notes that may
be helpful when using IIS and Component Services:
NOTE:
The exact procedures depends on the version of the Windows
operating system that you have, and varies per version of Internet
Information Services. Refer to your IIS or Component Services help
for details.

In Internet Information Services (IIS), a virtual folder must
be created to serve the generated web pages. A virtual folder
treats the physical directory as an application. |
|
·
|
In Internet Information Services, the session timeout must be
set to a value larger than 0. The session timeout determines how
long users can be idle and still continue working without
re-login. |
Raising this value consumes
more system resources because some data is kept on behalf of each
user. From a security perspective, a long session timeout doesn't
stop a user being away from his browser whilst others misuse his
open session. From a user friendliness perspective, a short session
timeout forces a user to type his password after an short idle
period.

When the publication is used, an application is active in IIS
and the USoft Page Engine is active in Component Services. To force
shutdown (e.g. when a USoft version is being replaced) the
application within IIS must be unloaded, and the component must be
shutdown. Refer to your IIS or Component Services help for
details. |

On recent Windows versions, it may be that an ASP page on IIS
can only read 200 Kbytes from a request. This is not enough for a
USoft Web Application, and must be increased. To do this, you must
update the metabase.XML file, which is located in the
c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv folder: |
|
·
|
Stop the IIS service, otherwise you will not be able to save
the edited file. |
|
·
|
Open the metabase.XML file with an editor. |
|
·
|
Find the line in the file that reads
"AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed" and change it to "1073741824". |
|
·
|
Save the edited file and restart IIS. |
|

|
When using the Rules Service in combination with a USoft Web
Application or Web Service the Rules Service can appear to have a
delay in responding when the Rules Service is not activated for a
period ( >5 min.). The first new request will then take about
15-20 seconds to respond, but after this wake up the responses will
be instantaneous. |
On Windows Servers this
behavior can be influenced in the 'Component Services' (Under
Control Panel / Administrative Tools) settings. On the Advanced tab
from the application where the USoft Web Service component
(USoftComJavaCall.dll) is registered, change the 'Service Process
Shutdown' setting if necessary. Ensure that the option 'Leave
running when idle' is enabled. In this case the USoft Web service
component will always be ready for use.
In addition, for recent
Windows versions only, the following settings must be made for the
USoftComJavaCall component in Component Service:
|
·
|
On the identity tab of the Application Properties, Account must
be set to one of the following: |
|
·
|
System Account\Local Service |
|
·
|
System Account\Network Service |
|
·
|
This user set to <some user account> |
|
·
|
On the Security tab, the: "Authorization ->Enforce access
checks for this application" setting must be unchecked, i.e.
switched off. |
If you do not do this, you
will receive server component access error messages.
|
·
|
On the Activation tab, choose Server application (NOT
client). |
