Livelink 9.7.0 LAPI Web Service deployment
Tanima_Gupta
Hi,In an attempt to configure LAPI on to Livelink9.7.0, I ran the LAPI_970_WIN.exe avaialable from the Opentext Knowledgecenter on the server as directed.However after installing LAPI 9.7.0 onto the target server, I noticed that the 'webservices' folder is not included in the binaries. Reading the documentation it would appear that it should already be installed as part of the installation. "Livelink ECM - Enterprise Server SDK Web Services Deployment and Administration Guide - page 11"'To deploy Livelink Web Services for Microsoft .NET, create a virtual directory mapping tothe LAPI_home\webservices\MS_NET\ASP.NET\LiveServices directory in the MicrosoftInternet Information Server Administration application. If you want to use the LivelinkWeb Services sample application, Open Text recommends that you name the virtualdirectory LiveServices.'How can I configure the webservices for Livelink 9.7.0?Does copying the 'webservices' folder from the LAPI install of previous Livelink installs for e.g. Livelink 9.5.0.1 help?Thanks,Tanima

Hi,Looks like you have some architectures mixed and matched.True Livelink webservices happen with livelink 9.7.1 only called livelink service pack 1.When you install the livelink server you will get the a forementioned virtual directory which then you can map a webreference to.Coming to Livelink API.The older product expects you to run the installer.If you program in java or C# then you import these client libraries into your program create a session into a livelink server and program merrily.VB,VB.net ,C and C++ also works this way albeit the directives different. LiveServices was the way that the LAPI client libraries were masked(faked) into a virtual directory earlier on before true server side web services were developed.OT discontinued supporting these because truer web services are now there.If LAPI works on this install then copying the older version should theoretically work.Try that or go for the better web services if you can.
