Re: OWS21 and MS IIS?

Hi Karl:

You could also use OWS2.1 as a HTTP server. All you need to do is to configure
a listener service at your port of choice. This is done from the installtion which
is web-based. I imagine you are using IIS to authenticate users (maybe) using NT security.

However, coming back to using WRB, the sample files which OWA installs run on typically
port 9999 or 8888 (for dba/admin) depending upon your OS. You will have to configure
1. A listener at a port you choose.
2. Configure the PL/SQL agent and create a DCD (data connect descriptor) which

    shall map to a user's schema
3. Configure the WRB.
4. For the DCD it may look something like:

        http://hostname/help_owa/owa/procedure_name 5. Try creating/modifying the procedures/function installed in the schema of the user

    who is acting as administrator (port 9999/8888). If you have a schema browser

    you will see the procedures immediately.

I would do everything first from the web pages and then tweak the files at the OS level.

Let me know,
