To successfully run an application through AcuToWeb, you need to configure both AcuConnect and AcuToWeb.
As long as all required components are installed and licensed correctly, you should be able to carry out the majority of the
configuration from the AcuToWeb control panel.
Access the control panel in one of the following ways:
- From the Extend Start Menu, click
AcuToWeb Control Panel.
- From the command prompt, type
AcuToWeb and press
Enter.
Note: You need to run the AcuToWeb control panel as an administrator.
The following steps aim to get you up and running using as an example one of the extend sample programs running through AcuToWeb:
- Start the AcuToWeb Control Panel and click the
Access tab.
- Select the
AcuAccess file in the
etc directory and then create a new entry.
- Specify
acutoweb for the
Client Username and enter a valid user as the local user name.
- Click the
Alias tab and select the
acurcl file in the
etc directory.
- Click
New and type
Tour as the alias name.
- Enter
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Micro Focus\extend 10.1.0\sample\acubench\object as the
Working directory.
- Enter
Tour.acu as the
Command Line.
- Click the
Services tab, select the service (default 5632), then click
Start.
- On the
Gateway Services tab, click the existing entry (8009) and then click
Properties.
- Browse to and select the
gateway.conf file in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\extend 10.1.0\AcuToWeb\conf.
- On the
Gateway Services tab, click
Start to start the gateway.
Note: On UNIX, after performing the steps above (configuring the AcuAccess file, making an entry in the AcuConnect alias file, and
starting AcuConnect), to start the gateway from the
acutoweb directory, enter the following command at a terminal:
./acutoweb-gateway -start
- Open a browser and load one of the following URLs:
http://127.0.0.1:3000 or enter
http://machine-name:3000.
This starts the
Gateway Connection Setup dialog box.
- Type
Tour in the
Alias field.
- Click
Connect.
The sample Tour program should appear in the browser.
