The Instantiation URL for the Document Review Application

To create an instance of an application in a Team Workspace, the Team Productivity Update calls an Instantiation URL. The Instantiation URL is an .asp file that contains scripts to manage the creation and configuration of a Team Workspace application. When the application's instantiation finishes, the ASP page returns an XML stream to the Team Productivity Update. This XML stream provides URLs to the team capabilities the application supports: Launch, Search, Summary, Offline, and Delete.

Each application's Instantiation URL must be customized to the way that each application provides its set of team capabilities. The following topics will guide you through the process of writing an Instantiation URL:

• The Instantiation URL and IIS
• Scripting the Document Review Application Instantiation URL
• Creating the Document Review Application Physical Directory
• Copying Files into the Physical Directory
• Updating the Global.asa File
• Creating and Pointing to the Virtual Directory

You can see the complete code for the document review application Instantiation URL by opening the file Revw_app_Instantiate_URL.asp in Visual InterDev™ or any text editor. The file can be found in the path TPTK\Common\Aim\Revw_app.
