Web Datablade Module

Hi all, We've got an Informix database at work which produces web pages via the Web DataBlade module. Although we can get pages out with a browser, we can't get the "AppBuilder" part to work so that we can add/modify the web pages. I've looked in the manuals which say point your browser at <hostname>/cgi-bin/MIval=apb (or whatever it says in the manual for using cgi-bin access) but when we do this we only get a blank page (not even an error message). Any ideas where we're going wrong? Thanks in advance!

Did you load them using the schema_load tool? Try select object from webpages --wbpages if you use ddw where id = 'apb'; That is the source for the main page. -- Rob Wilson rwilson@ntsource.com

If this is the case, is there any way to install it without disturbing the rest of the web page server/database? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

AppPage Builder inserts its data into webpages. wbpages is the table data director for web uses. Unfortunately I have no experience with ddw so I can't tell you much more. However, loading the apb schema will fail (unless you still have a webpages tables) becuase it inserts into webpages. Unless you happened to use an id that starts with apb or apb_ you _should_ be ok. The list of apppages may be found in $INFORMIXDIR/extend/web.<version>/apb/app_pages depending on version. -- Rob Wilson rwilson@ntsource.com
