Creating an Instance of the Document Review Application

The Active Server Pages (ASP) script contained in the Instantiation URL bundles the tasks needed to create and configure an instance of an application for each Team Workspace. In the case of the document review application, these tasks include configuration of Internet Information Server 4.0, the creation of physical and virtual directories, the creation of SQL Server™ tables, and the updating of a connection to the database.

In addition to these tasks, which are handled by the ASP script each time the Instantiation URL is called, the application requires the installation and registration of a server-side object, an ActiveX® DLL named Review, that implements the application's administrative tasks. The Review component is installed onto the server during the review application's setup.

Note The DLL that implements the Review component is not copied with each instance of the application. All instances use the same DLL that is registered on the server computer.

The topics in The Instantiation URL for the Document Review Application describe the tasks the Instantiation URL must perform. While the script presented in these topics is specific to the documentation review application, it is likely that a similar application will require similar tasks.

In addition, to ensure that Internet Information Server (IIS) is properly configured to run the application, see Configuring the Instantiation URL Virtual Directory.
