The Instantiation URL and IIS

The Instantiation URL for the document review application needs to set up an Internet Information Server virtual directory to hold the Active Server Pages (.asp) files that users will access from the Team Workspace. Instantiating the document review application in a Team Workspace is done in a several stages.

First, you need to make sure that the application itself is properly installed on the server computer from which the Instantiation URL will copy it. The application template's Setup.exe will install the application template and inform the Team Productivity Update that the application is available for instantiation. For more information, see Setup for the Document Review Application.

Next, you must configure the virtual directory in which the Instantiation URL .asp file is located. For information about how to do this, see Configuring the Instantiation URL Virtual Directory.

Finally, you need to include script in the Instantiation URL .asp file that will create and configure a new copy of the application for the Team Workspace that requested it. For information about how to do this, see Scripting the Document Review Application Instantiation URL.
