NSTALLATION
General
The ArrangeLink Circuit Scheduler application software can be installed on any
workstation that will function as a web server and is either the host for the VMS
Web Services (SOAP Server) or is local to the server that performs that func-
tion. This web server workstation must be local to the VMS Server.
The SOAP interface runs on a web services proxy server that hosts the web
applications—such as ArrangeLink and VNO—using Internet Information
Services (IIS). The user interface for these applications is accessed using a web
browser from a client PC workstation.
The network component diagram shown in figure 2-1 reflects the recommended
configuration for implementing the VMS Web Services. To minimize latency
issues, the host platform for these services should be on the same LAN as the
VMS Server. Should a network web server be locally available, it would serve
as a logical platform for the SOAP server, as shown in the diagram.
