Messenger overview

The WebSpeed Messenger resides on your Web server machine. It picks up incoming application service requests from WebSpeed clients and directs them to a WebSpeed broker that supports that application service. The Messenger is either a CGI program, or an ISAPI or NSAPI process.
There are four different WebSpeed Messengers:
*CGIIP Messenger — Runs on almost all Web servers, but tends to have the slowest response times.
*WSASP Messenger — Is used to call WebSpeed applications from a Microsoft Active Server Page. It cannot coexist with any other Messenger on your Web server.
*WSISA Messenger — Runs on Microsoft IIS Web servers.
*WSNSA Messenger — Runs on Netscape Web servers.
You cannot create or delete WebSpeed Messengers from OpenEdge Management. You can use OpenEdge Management to edit the Messenger's properties, enable or disable the Messenger, use work with the Messenger's log file monitor, and examine the Messenger's log file.
You must have appropriate OpenEdge Management role authorization to perform several of these tasks. See Role authorization and OpenEdge Management tasks for details.
