Hi all,


We are looking at upgrading from version 9.1D to Openedge 10 (Progress 10). We are currently using webspeed 9.1D. Transaction server runs on unix and we have the messenger running on IIS web server. I figure it might be a good idea to start a thread for those who are using webspeed and migrating to OE 10 because there are some confusing differences in terms of upgrading for webspeed on version 10.

With version 10 is appserver a replacement for webspeed? Are the commands to startup proadsv etc the same?

Also I assume we need to update the messenger on our web server. We currently utilizing cgie.exe. Is there a version 10 install of the messenger package or if we have the messenger 9.1D version running on the web server do we leave it alone?
 
Hi Bino,

AFAIK everything stays the same. It's just a licensing issue which you have to work out with Progress.Essentially webspeed is an appserver which connects to the internet. In OE10 they decided to put WebSpeed and Appserver under the same licensing model.

In OE10 there's a messenger as well. I don't know if a version 9.1D messenger will work with OE10 WebSpeed, I didn't try that yet. Although I wouldn't be surprised that it would work.....

The commands wtbman for the webspeed broker and proadsv for the adminserver stays the same as well. So no need to change your scripts :-).

HTH,

Hi Casper thanks for the reply. I assume we can use our ubroker.properties file as is when we transfer over if everything is pretty much the same. I guess the only question is where I can get the latest messenger files that need to reside on the web server for OE10.
 
Hi,

you can use messenger from 9.1D to connect to 10.0X webspeed transaction server see: http://tinyurl.com/ex9ad

I don't know if you can use ubroker.properties file from 9.1x. You have to try that yourself. In the ubroker.properties files are all kinds of stuff like version number service pack level. uuid etc. So maybe that's going to give a problem.
There is also a messenger in the install of Progress 10.0x.
