Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

WebSpeed configuration choices

WebSpeed is an OpenEdge component to develop and deploy Web browser-based online transaction processing (OLTP) for business applications. WebSpeed products require a Web server product for which you must configure a Web server directory on a machine where you want these products to reside. If you are upgrading an existing WebSpeed installation, shut down your Web server and reboot your machine. For information about shutting down a Web server and examples of various WebSpeed configurations, see OpenEdge Getting Started: WebSpeed Essentials .
