Enabling the ASE Web Service Consumer

To use the ASE Web Services Consumer feature, install the Web Services feature and properly configure ASE.

You can configure Adaptive Server Enterprise manually or with the ASE Features Enabling wizard.

Note: The default ASE page size is 2K. To use Web Services, the page size must be at least 4K.

To manually enable the Web Services Consumer:

Back up the existing ws.properties file at:
<ASE installation root>\WS-15_0\props
Edit the ws.properties file:
1. com.sybase.ase.ws.consumer.cisport = <an available TCP port number>
  
  For example, com.sybase.ase.ws.consumer.cisport = 8183.
2. com.sybase.ase.ws.consumer.logfilename = ../logs/consumer.log
3. com.sybase.ase.ws.interfaces = ../../ini/sql.ini
Install the Web Services stored procedure by invoking the installws script from isql: isql -Usa -P<password> -S<server> -i<ASE installation root>\WS-15_0\bin\installws
Establish an isql session to your ASE data server:
isql -Usa -P<password> -S<server>
Enable the Web Services feature using the sp_configure stored procedure:
sp_configure 'enable webservices', 1
Add the default Web Services Consumer, ws, as the specialty data store (SDS) server:
sp_addserver ws, sds

Next

To start the ASE Web Service Consumer listener, run the runconsumer script, which is located in the <ASE installation root>\WS-15_0\bin directory.

See the Web Services User's Guide for details on configuring and running the Web Services Consumer.
