Although Adaptive Server Anywhere requires no configuration to use Sybase WorkSpace for database development, you need to configure ASA to listen for web requests if you plan to utilize ASA's Web service producer.
To configure ASA to listen for web requests:
Use the -xs option to specify which web protocols you want to use to listen for requests. The syntax is as follows:
{ dbeng9 | dbsrv9 } -xs {none | <web protocol> }(<parmlist;parmlist>)
Because the default is none, that is, ASA does not listen for web requests, you need to specify which web protocols you want ASA to listen for and their port numbers:
You can add network option parameters (<parmlist>) immediately following each of the web protocols you choose. Thus, a simple configuration might look like the following example:
dbeng9 web.db -xs http(port=80)
You can have more than one parameter following a protocol, separated by a semicolon (no spaces between).
To establish the correct namespace for web services:
If you are using the ASA network server (dbsrv9), follow these steps to establish the correct namespace for web services:
Start the server.
Create a connection profile for use with your ASA server.
Create a SQL file for the connection profile.
Execute the following syntax in the SQL Editor:
set option public.Webservice_namespace_host= '<hostname>:<port>'
