Example

This example allows you to retrieve server metrics and to start, stop, restart, enable, and disable a server.

In addition to the standard files (Start.csp, Logon.csp, RetrieveIStore and helper_js.csp), this example consists of the following pages:

• ChooseServer.csp-

  Enables the user to pick a server connected to the APS.

• ShowServerStatus.csp

  Displays status and metrics for the server selected with ChooseServer.csp and enables the user to start, stop, restart, enable and disable the server.

• ManipulateServer.csp

  Starts, stops, restarts, enables, or disables the selected server.

To download the CSP files for the example, click ServerAdministration.zip.

To run this example

1. Download the files.
2. Extract and copy the files to your WCS.

   Note:    If you are using JavaScript, you will need to include the helper file, helper_js.csp which in Windows is placed by default in C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Web Content\Enterprise\ePortfolio\language and in Unix is placed in crystal\webcontent\enterprise\websamples\language. Replace language with the information appropriate to your version of Crystal Enterprise: use en for English or ja for Japanese.

3. Open Start.csp in your web browser using HTTP.

   Note:    If you type a local path for the CSP file in the browser, the example will not run. You must specify an HTTP style address; for example, C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\example.csp becomes http://localhost/example.csp.

Tip:    If you want to use the name of the constant, instead of its value, you need to include the appropriate file: CeConstJS.inc for JavaScript, or CeConstVBS.inc for VBScript. Both files are placed by default in Windows in C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Web Content\Enterprise\websamples and in Unix in crystal\webcontent\enterprise\websamples. Confirm that the constant that you are referencing by name is included in the .inc file that you are using or, if it is not included, add it.

Note:    To run on Unix, or when authenticating a remote server in Windows, ManageServer requires values for the parameters TimeoutSeconds, UserName, and Password. For Windows, the UserName parameter should contain the format Domain\UserName.
