Need Help setting up Livelink 971 WS

Hi,

Due to the needs of my client and a promise they made to another client, some code I wrote for CS 10.0 and CS10.5 now needs to be made backwardly compliant to Livelink 971 web servvices. That gets the whole "why am I even doing this" out of the way.

I managed to get a Livelink 971 instance spun up on a VM Ware running Windows 7x64 and connected to a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The 64 bit may be the root of my troubles as if I recall, LL971 was the last version that ran on 32 bit OS.

I created the web application in IIS but when I try to access either the Authentication.svc or DocumentManagement.svc, I get the following error stack:

Configuration Error

It would appear that the LapiService.DLL that comes bundled with LL971 is simply not working.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do? I'm wondering if I can swap in the CS10.0 LapiService.dll as I imagine it *is* 64 bit.

Hi Hugh,

In our Windows 2008-64 bit LL971 production Webservices configuration I did the following hack and it is working for almost one year.The main problem is 971 webservices rely on VJ+= re-distributable which cannot be found for 64.So here's how I make that work.

W2K8 Server running LL971

Create a application pointing to OOB 971 webservices
Create a logs folder and give NETWORK_SERVICE full control on that so that is the same level as the bin folder.
Make the application pool identify again network_service
Make absolute sure that the application or the website is "anonymous" because we don't have IWA support for webservices users.
At this point nothing will work.

Now bring a CS10 webservices folder and replace the entire 971 WS application folder with that .I usually keep it side by side.

You will with some luck get the green authentication webservice WSDL with no trouble..Cross check permissions for most errors and application pool.

Downside-If you are not careful a pro -active programmer using wsdl's will find methods that are available in 10/10.5 which the 971 server won't understand but most DocMan operations and metadata operations will have no problem.

In this my blog entry look at Chris Morley's take on something technical why it does not work.

As an aside to run an old lapi executable that Perfectus integration uses I found an example with CORFLAGS that can be used to run 32 in 64 things.It is in MS documentation not sure if you can do that or not

Good luck...
