WebServices ASE

Installation

Based on an Linux installation using ASE version 15.0.2, 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.
• 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 "ws.properties" is generated in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_WS/props. You can manualy change this file.
• The installation software does not set all non-default configuration values to the value that has been specified during the installation. Check the generated ws.properties file to verify it is correct. A sample is provided here:

com.sybase.ase.ws.name = ASE1_WS
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.httpport = 8181
com.sybase.ase.ws.consumer.cisport = 8183
com.sybase.ase.ws.logfilename = /opt/sybase/admin/ASE1_WS/webservice.log
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.jettylogfile = /opt/sybase/admin/ASE1_WS/http.log
com.sybase.ase.ws.interfaces = /opt/sybase/ase1502/interfaces
com.sybase.ase.ws.libtcl = /opt/sybase/ase1502/OCS-15_0/config/libtcl.cfg
com.sybase.ase.ws.ui.activate = true
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.tuning.maxthreads = 250
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.tuning.minthreads = 45
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.tuning.maxidletime = 60000
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.tuning.ssl.maxthreads = 125
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.tuning.ssl.minthreads = 10
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.tuning.ssl.maxidletime = 60000
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.ssl.password =
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.ssl.httpsport =
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.ssl.keystore =
com.sybase.ase.ws.producer.ssl.keypassword =

• Enable web services in ASE by enabling it:

sp_configure "enable webservices",1

Starting

Start webservices like this:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_WS/bin/runws -Usa_webservices -P webs01 -SASE1 -f /opt/sybase/admin/ASE1_WS/ASE1_WS.properties

Some notes

• Keep a space between the -P and the actual password.
• The login specified, in this case sa_webservices, should have sa_role.
• Look in the file specified at com.sybase.ase.ws.logfilename if there were any errors during start-up.

Stopping

Stop webservices like this:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_WS/bin/stopws -Usa_webservices -P webs01 -SASE1 -f /opt/sybase/admin/ASE1_WS/ASE1_WS.properties
