Once you set up a DCD you must do at least one more thing to let a web server 'see' it.
If you want to use the CGI-BIN version of the owa program (mandatory in v1.x, optional in 2.x-- you can use the WRB instead in these version) you must goto the web listener configuration screen and map a virtual directory to where the owa program is. for example, say you just created a DCD called 'foo', you would go to the web listener configuration and map:
Virtual Directory type Physical Directory ------------------- ----- ------------------- /foo/ CN c:\orant\ows21\bin
then, bounce the listener. Now /foo/owa/some_procedure_name will work if the DCD is correct.... check in \orant\ows21\log for error files on the other hand...
If you want to use the WRB version (cartridge) of the owa program (na in v1.x, optional in 2.x) you must goto the WRB configuration screen and under the "Applications and Directories" section enter:
Virtual Path App. Physical Path ------------- -------- --------------- /foo/owa OWA c:\orant\ows21\bin
(case matters). Again, bounce the web listener and
/foo/owa/some_procedure_name will work....
Just make sure when you set up the DCD you specify the ports you are wanting to use the DCD on... Else it will not run from that listener...
