Setup and Configuration › Install the Web Option PC File

Install the Web Option PC File

If you installed Web Option on your system for the first time, you should have restored the WEBOPT directory from the WEBOPT save file shipped in Y2WEB prior to performing the Web Option initialization processing. If you are upgrading an existing release of Web Option, you should have renamed your existing WEBOPT directory (to WEBOPT85, for example) and then, when you restored it, copied in any objects that you require into the new WEBOPT folder.

This directory is used for two purposes by Web Option:

• To hold a number of basic files required by Web Option at runtime: images for screen headers, the default JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheet files, for example.
• To hold temporary copies of HTML skeletons while they are being edited by a third party tool.

After installing, check the Permissions on each object in /WEBOPT.

Perform these steps in Client Access

1. Open File Systems for the AS400.
2. Locate the directory WEBOPT in the root directory in the IFS.
3. Right-click on each object in the directory and take the Permissions option.
4. Ensure that Public has at least Read and Write authority. If not, check the Read and Write boxes.
5. Click Apply.

You can edit this HTML file using a basic text editor, such as Notepad, or with a graphical HTML editor, such as FrontPage. When you finish editing the HTML file, use the YPRCSKL command again to convert the edited HTML file back into a skeleton member in YMLSSRC in Y2WEBVENG.

Renaming WEBOPT

If you choose to rename the WEBOPT folder, to webopt86, for example, you must complete the following steps:

1. Change the value of the Web Option value YMLSFLR to be '/webopt86/', using the YWRKW2EVAL command.
2. Change the following lines in your HTTP configuration to refer to WEBOPT86 instead of WEBOPT:

   <Directory /WEBOPT/>
   AliasMatch ^/WEB2EDOC/(.*) /WEBOPT/$1
   

Files created using PRCSKL

After you generate a skeleton member in the YMLSSRC source file in your environment library, use the Process HTML Skeleton (YPRCSKL) command to convert it to an HTML file in the WEBOPT folder for editing. The HTML file has the same name as the skeleton member in YMLSSRC, but is suffixed with .HTM. For example, a skeleton member in YMLSSRC named H0001025 is converted in WEBOPT to the file H0001025.HTM.
