Migrate Natural Web Interface SYSWEB to SYSWEB3

This section provides you with a step-by-step introduction on how to update your programs written for the Natural Web Interface (SYSWEB) to run with the new interface (SYSWEB3).

  1. You have to use the new interface programs nww3* instead of the old nww* programs. Copy the appropriate programs to your HTTP server, and configure your HTTP server.

  2. Adapt your nww3*.ini file settings.

  3. Adapt external URLs to nww3* instead of nww*

    Note:
    It is possible to rename the nww3* interface programs - but the new interface programs will only work with Natural subprograms stowed with SYSWEB3 and the old interface programs will only work with Natural subprograms stowed with SYSWEB.

  4. If you are running a Natural RPC server

  5. If you are running a DCOM server (Windows only),

  6. Adapt URLs, read work files, templates, etc. to point to SYSWEB3 instead of SYSWEB.

    Note:
    If you rename SYSWEB3 to SYSWEB your application may work, but internal programs delivered with SYSWEB3 may not work correctly and may deliver wrong or unexpected results.

  7. Recatalog all your programs that reference web interface programs by using SYSWEB3 as steplib instead of SYSWEB.

  8. All your programs should now run the same way, they did with SYSWEB before.
