WebServices ASE

Installation

Based on an Linux installation using ASE version 15.0 (ebf 12780), here are some steps to install WebServices on an existing database server.

Run the aseplugin executable (located in $SYBASE/ASEP/bin). Pass the parameter -i for interactive mode (not -I as stated in the Sybase documentation)
Answer all the questions.
During the installation an sp_configure "enable webservices",1 is done
The script $SYBASE/$SYBASE_WS/bin/installws is loaded into the database server, basically installing the procedures sp_webservices and sp_get_unique_table into the sybsystemprocs database.
At the end a properties file is generated in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_WS/props. You can manualy changed this file.
When you specified a non-default consumer port, please change the properties file afterwards with the right port number.
Modify the properties file to indicate the location of the interfaces file. Put the location in the line starting with "com.sybase.ase.ws.interfaces".

Starting or stopping the producer

run the runws / stopws script, but do not supply a "-v" argument.
For better debugging when you run into problems, change the runws script so that the output generated by the producer is not being written to /dev/null, but write it into a file.
