Customizing WWW-IRUN
The FlashCONNECT driver application on the database server consists of the
WWW-IRUN and WWW.IRUN2 applications. WWW-IRUN allows any necessary
programming to be performed before the FlashCONNECT driver application,
WWW.IRUN2, starts. The source to WWW-IRUN is provided as part of the release,
however, the source to WWW.IRUN2 is not provided.
FlashCONNECT does not currently use unnamed common. If your application uses
unnamed common, enable unnamed common by specifying sufficient unnamed
common in WWW-IRUN and WWW-CONTINUE to enable applications to use it.
Consider:
• Most applications won't use unnamed common, resulting in wasted memory.
• The amount of space for variables may be reduced by the amount of space used
for unnamed variables.
• WWW-IRUN and WWW-CONTINUE must be compiled using the mcompile
command. The basic syntax for this command is:
mcompile filename Item-ID [Item-ID ...]
where filename is the file to compile and Item-ID is the Item-ID (or list of Item-
IDs) to compile.
You can optionally perform a select and then run mcompile filename from
the select prompt.
NOTE—The heartbeat is configured from the FlashCONNECT Server Pool
Maintenance Web page. For more information, see Configuring, Starting and
Stopping FlashCONNECT Components.
NOTE—mcompile is not a TCL command. Thus, mcompile filename * does not
behave as other TCL commands do (the asterisk is interpreted as an Item-ID,
not as a wild-card meaning all items).
D3 Only: When mcompile completes, run this command to optimize
(FlashCompile) these programs:
compile filename Item-ID [Item-ID ...] (wo
