Changing Your Dial-Up Internet Service Provider

When you change Internet Service Providers, you need to reconfigure your stack and reconfigure Email (if you have Email).

Reconfiguring the SuperTCP Kernel in Windows 3.1x

If you are using the SuperTCP Kernel on Windows 3.x, remove your existing interface and add a PPP interface, SLIP/CSLIP interface or ISDN interface. The following topics provide more information.

Remove the existing interface and add a PPP interface.

Remove the existing interface and add a SLIP/CSLIP interface.

Remove the existing interface and add an ISDN interface.

Reconfiguring the Windows 95 or Windows NT Stack

In these operating systems, you need to change your TCP/IP stack configuration.  Get the following from your Internet Service Provider and reconfigure your stack.  The printed manual provides step-by-step directions for configuring your stack.

Phone number used to dial in

Login name

Login password

For all Operating Systems

If you have installed Email, complete the following steps to set it up, regardless of what operating system you are using:

1.	Change your Email ID and address in Users setup.

2.	Set up the SMTP Mailer

3.	Set up your POP 3 or POP 2 account.

4.	Set up the SMTP Server if you don't have a POP 3 or POP  2 account.


SuperTCP Kernel

The SuperTCP Kernel can give you access to an Internet Service Provider if you're using Windows 3.1x.  If you enter configuration information such as a telephone number during the installation, the SuperTCP Kernel is installed on your PC.  The following Help is available for the SuperTCP Kernel:

Start

Purchase SuperWeb Server

Install SuperWeb Server and any clients

Configure the Server (SuperWeb Master)

Design SuperWeb information structure

Define Groups (SuperWeb Master)

Define Users (SuperWeb Master, Group Owner)

Define Folders (SuperWeb Master, Folder Owner)

Create Clickable Images using ImageMaster (All Users)

Check Hyperlinks using HyperCheck (All Users)

Check Log of Files and Services (All Users)

Develop Backend Services (All Users)

On-going web site

Now that you have a general idea about how to set up your web site, take a look at how each type of SuperWeb user may want to begin:

SuperWeb Master

Webmaster

General User


SuperWeb Master

The SuperWeb Master is in charge of the Server.  Normally, this person is the system administrator.  There is only one SuperWeb Master, so this person must add users to the system before beginning to distribute responsibility to others.  We suggest the SuperWeb Master tries the following plan of action:

1.	Log in to WebMaster.

2.	Configure the Server to fit your needs.

3.	Define your groups and users.

4.	Define your folders and files.

5.	Edit your default home page.  You might want to copy this file into all of the main folders so people have a generic home page to build from. Click here to learn how to use WebDesigner to create web pages.

6.	Add any clickable images to files by using ImageMaster.

7.	Verify the document's hyperlinks by using HyperCheck.

8.	Check the log for the files to see how often the documents are being accessed.

9.	Develop any backend services (either CGI or ISAPI).  Depending on your programming abilities and other duties, you may only be responsible for registering the backend services.

10.	Back up .DAT files located in the FTCWEBS subdirectory and your FTCWEB.INI file located in your WINDOWS directory.  Click here to learn about the importance of these files.


Webmaster

A Webmaster is a person who owns groups or folders and thus must perform some type of maintenance.

	A person can be both a group and folder owner, or just one or the other.
Group Owner

A user can be designated by the SuperWeb Master as a group owner.  The group owner can then take over responsibility for any maintenance that needs to be performed such as adding users.  Described below is the plan of action we suggest you take.  Keep in mind that we have covered what your main responsibilities as a group owner are.  We have not listed every function you can perform.

Here's the process we suggest you follow to quickly get your users set up:

1.	Define your users.

Folder Owner

The SuperWeb Master or a folder owner may designate a user as a folder owner.  This person can then be responsible for maintenance to the folder, such as adding files.   Described below is the plan of action we suggest you take.  Keep in mind that we have covered what your main responsibilities as a folder owner are.  We have not listed every function you can perform.

Here's the process we suggest you follow to quickly get your users set up:

1.	Define your subfolders.

2.	Add files to your folder.  You may either drag and drop existing files into folder, or you may create files using WebDesigner.

3.	Add any clickable images to files by using ImageMaster.

4.	Verify the document's hyperlinks by using HyperCheck.

5.	Check the log for the files to see how often the documents are being accessed.


General User

The SuperWeb Master or a group owner can add users to the system.  Until users are given ownership of a group or a folder, they  mainly create and edit HTML files on the Server.  Described below is the plan of action we suggest general users take.  Keep in mind that we have covered what your main responsibilities as a general user are.  We have not listed every function you can perform.

We suggest a general user tries the following plan of action:

1.	Add files to your folder by dragging and dropping existing HTML files into a folder.

2.	Use WebDesigner to create a web page.

3.	Add any clickable images to files by using ImageMaster.

4.	Verify the document's hyperlinks by using HyperCheck.

5.	Check the log for the files to see how often the documents are being accessed.

Overview of InterActive DB

InterActive DB Tutorial


InterActive_DB Overview

Overview

InterActive DB is an application that allows you to create web-based reports from your ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) databases.  These reports can be created easily and quickly by anyone who has access to a web browser and a web server running InterActive DB.

The idea behind InterActive DB is to cut out all of the unnecessary pieces of web applications by eliminating the need to learn them.  InterActive DB does not require the user to learn HTML (HyperText Markup Language), SQL (Structured Query Language), or any programming language in order to use it.

The InterActive DB interface consists entirely of web pages that can be accessed by users running web browsers on any operating system.

On-line Help is available to you on each HTML page through the click of a Help button.  The Help provides short definitions of the terms found on each page, and in some cases examples for you to follow.


InterActive_DB Tutorial

Tutorial

In this section you will learn how to get started using InterActive DB.

Setting up

What was Changed During Installation?

Setting up an ODBC Datasource

Creating an InterActive DB Report

Launching InterActive DB

Creating the Report


Done During Install

What Was Done During Install

During installation, many things were done for you.

1. 	An "InterActive DB" folder was created on your SuperWeb web site.  You can see the folder when you open WebMaster's Folder View.

2. 	Image files and web pages were also created inside of this folder.

3. 	The InterActive DB web services were installed and configured with your SuperWeb server.  You will see that the services are there when you enter WebMaster's Server Configuration.


Setting up an ODBC Data Source

The first thing that must be done in order for someone to use InterActive DB is setting up an ODBC System Data Source.

	This requires that the Microsoft ODBC Manager version 2.5 or greater be installed on the web server machine.  We have provided this software on the CD you received.  Simply run the setup program in the ODBC directory on the CD.
Step 1 - Opening The ODBC Manager

If your web server is running in a Windows NT 3.51 environment, you must first open your Main program group, and select Control Panel.

If your web server is running in a Windows NT 4.0 environment, you must click the Start button.  Next, select Settings, Control Panel.

Once you are in Control Panel click on the ODBC icon to launch the ODBC manager.  The manager looks like this:

Step 2 - Creating a New System DSN

1.	Click on the Add... button. You will see the following dialog:

2.	Now click on the driver for the database type which you would like to use.  This example uses Microsoft Access.

3.	Fill in the Data Source Name with a name that you would like to associate with the database.

4.	Click on the Select button and find the database which you would like this data source to point to.

5.	If your database requires user authentication, you can supply this here, as you can see in the diagram.  For Microsoft Access, you need to click the Database radio button, and then enter a Username and Password.

6.	Click the OK button.  Click the OK button again.

Now the data source that you configured on the web server is available to anyone who runs InterActive DB.


Launching InterActive_DB

Launching

Here is how you start InterActive DB:

1.	Start up your favorite web browser, such as Tapestry or Internet Explorer.

Tapestry	Internet Explorer
2.	Enter the URL to your web site, followed by the following text:

/rmlGather

making your entire URL look like this:

http://www.Yourwebserver.com/rmlGather

3.	Press enter to open the location.  Your browser window should now display the opening InterActive DB page.  For a look at the page, click here


Creating the Report

Here are the steps involved with creating an InterActive DB report:

1.	The first screen lists all of the available data sources available for you to generate a report from.  Click the circle next to the data source that you would like to use, and then click the Next button.

For a sample screen, click here: InterActive DB - Screen 2

2.	This screen provides you with a list of the tables that are in that data source.  Here you check off each of the tables that contain information you would like in your report.

For a sample screen, click here: InterActive DB - Screen 3

3.	The next screen presents you with the opportunity to join tables together.  If you have only selected one table, click the No More Joins button.  If you have chosen more than one table and you don't understand joins, click the Help button to get more information on joins and how they work.

For a sample screen, click here: InterActive DB - Screen 4

4.	The screen you now see is displayed to tell you how many different queries are going to be on the report.  Each query is in itself a report.  In other words, you can actually have many reports generated at once on the same web page.  Click the Next button to continue.

5.	You now begin to format your report page.  The first page in this series allows you to choose which fields from the different tables you want in your report.  Click the Select all fields... box if you want all of the fields from a table, or check off each of the individual fields you would like.

For a sample screen, click here: InterActive DB - Screen 5

6.	All of the tables and fields which you have chosen are presented to you on the next page.  You can change any of their names.  For example, suppose you had a table named system_serial_numbers and that you have chosen the following fields from the table: Computer_Type, Number, Date1, Date2, From, and Leased.  The field names are not descriptive enough to identity the type of data that they store.  Date1 might be the date the computer was bought, and the Date2 might be the date that the record was last updated.  Because of situations like these, you are able to change the way the field is presented on the report on this screen.  The only thing that you need to do is enter the new name for the table or field in the box to its right and then click the Next button.

For a sample screen, click here: InterActive DB - Screen 6

7.	Now that you have chosen the tables and fields, and have possibly joined tables or renamed fields, it is time to chose how to sort your report.  On this screen, you can chose the sort order for your report by selecting the first, second, and third fields to sort by from the three drop-down boxes.

8.	After choosing how to sort your report, you see a screen that prompts you to choose what fields, if any, you would like to be presented as criteria fields for the report.  Click the fields for which you would like to provide the requirements.  A page is then created which has each of these fields on it for you to insert what criteria each field should meet in order for the report to be generated.  For example, on the first sample screen in this tutorial you saw a list of three data sources.  One of those data sources was PO Database.  Let's say that I had chosen that data source and wanted to create a report that showed an individual PO.  You would click the PO Number field in this page so that when you wanted to run the report you could enter the PO number that you wanted to view and that would be the only one you saw, otherwise if you didn't check off the PO Number field on this screen you would always see all of the PO's in the database.  If a field is a date field type, or a numeric type you will see options in the Criteria Type column.  This allows you to specify even more the criteria requirements.

You have now created a working, dynamic, report from your database without any HTML, SQL, C++, or Visual Basic programming.  For more assistance, please use the on-line HTML Help files.  You may also want to look for some introductory books on databases if you are still having some problems with the database concepts.


InterActive_DB - Report Types

Report Types

There are four different, pre-made report types available to you for your InterActive DB reports.

Spreadsheet View

This style of report looks just like it sounds.  Your report is formatted to look like it was done using a spreadsheet application to create it.  This is best for single table reports when all you want to do is to display the table in an easy-to-read manner.

List View

This report shows you each individual record in a continuous list.  In other words, all of record one is displayed, then record two, then three, and so on.

Record View

This style is similar to the List View style of report except that this report only shows you one record on the screen at a time.  You can than move forward and backward in the record list.

Group View

This is the most complex report type which you can choose.  What Group View allows you to do is group your report by fields.  For example, had you chosen Phone List as your data source in the beginning of this tutorial, you could group by Department.  This would make the report easier to read, and allow you to find people in a given department easier that if you chose List View.  List View would just list the entries in no particular order, other than using your sort fields.

Form Helper
Form Helper Service

Want to send a work order to your Help Desk or customer service organization electronically?  Want to collect survey information from people visiting your web site?  Add the Form Helper to your SuperWeb Server!  There are many ways you can use the Form Helper service.  In fact, it can come in handy any time you want people to fill out a form on your web site!  You can then take the information and either write it to a file or mail it to particular people.

At Frontier Technologies, we have used this application to help the MIS department deal with the large number of requests they get every day.  Instead of people picking up the phone and begging someone to come help them, they can fill out a form on our Intranet's SuperWeb Server.  When they submit the form, the request is automatically mailed to all of the MIS people so that the person on duty can take care of the request quickly.

Once you have installed the Form Helper service, it is automatically registered with the SuperWeb Server.  You then need to do the following:

1.	Create an HTML page, or edit an existing HTML page with the appropriate hidden fields inserted.  How to create this page is explained in detail here .

2.	Register the HTML page with the SuperWeb Server using WebMaster, if you have not already done so.

3.	Open your web browser.  Connect to the page by entering a URL such as:

http://www.YourServer.com/formhlp.htm

where YourServer.Com is the address of your SuperWeb Server, and FORMHLP.HTM is the HTML page you created or edited in step 1.


Form Helper Information

The Form Helper service makes it possible for you to take a form that you have created and use it with a service.  To do so, you simply need to add a few hidden fields to the form.  The following steps describe how to use your form with a service without any programming.

	You need to have already created an HTML form with the fields you need before you can customize it as described below.  The easiest way to do so is to use WebDesigner.  Click here for directions on creating a form in WebDesigner.  If you use WebDesigner, be sure when you create the form to place /FORMHELPER in the Action field of the Form Attributes.  Also be sure to select POST as your method, not GET.
1.	Open your form in WebDesigner.

2.	Switch to the Raw Edit Mode by clicking on the Raw Edit Mode button on the Standard toolbar:

3.	Move your cursor to a location after the <FORM> tag.  The tags in the next steps all need to appear between the <FORM> and </FORM> tags.  Be sure you are not in the middle of any tags.

4.	The first field you need to add tells the Form Helper service if you want to save the information in a file.  Enter the following:

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Save_To_File" VALUE="Yes">

-OR-

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Save_To_File" VALUE="No">

If you put in the statement VALUE="Yes",  then move to the next step.  Otherwise, skip to step 6.

5.	Because you want the information saved in a file, you must tell the service to create the file and write the text to it.  Enter the following:

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Data_File" VALUE="C:\MyDir\FormX.csv">

You should put your own path and file name in the VALUE section of the information.

	You could, for example, create a directory on the Server computer called "FormData."  You could then copy the file to this directory.  If you use the name FormData, the hidden field would look like this: <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Data_File" VALUE="C:\FormData\FormX.csv">
Move to step 8.

6.	You can also send the information on the form to one or more people with email.  You can do this instead of, or in addition to, writing the information to a file.  You need to add the following entry:

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Mail_Information" VALUE="Yes">

-OR-

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Mail_Information" VALUE="No">

If you put in the statement VALUE="Yes", then continue on to step 7.  Otherwise skip to step 8.

7.	Because you have decided to mail the information, you need to add fields so that the mail can be processed.  These fields are REQUIRED, if you have decided to use Mail_Information!

	At this time, mailing the information only works with an SMTP mail server.
Enter the following 3 fields:

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Mail_Server_Name" VALUE="Mailserver.YourCompany.Com">

This field should contain the name or IP address of your SMTP mail server in the VALUE section.  For example, you could enter "ns.frontiertech.com" or 192.104.32.3.  Next, enter:

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Mail_To_Address" VALUE="JoeSmith@YourCompany.Com">

This VALUE section of this field should contain the address to which you want information mailed.

	If you want to, you could instead make this field visible.  Using the HTML Edit mode of WebDesigner, you could create a visible list box containing people's names or product names.  The value of each item could then be an email address.  Click here if you want more information on creating list boxes in WebDesigner.
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Mail_Server_Login" VALUE="JoeSmith">

This field should contain the username of someone on your mail server (probably the SuperWeb Master or a system administrator).  The mail that is sent looks like it came from this person.

8.	Whether you write the form's information to a file or you email it, you MUST enter the following field:

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Field_Names" VALUE="FirstName~LastName~Address~City~State~Zip">

This field tells the service what fields are on your form.  If you do not list a field here, it will not be read in and processed.  You need to insert all of the field names separated by a ~ into the VALUE section.  If you are not sure what the field names are, you can find out by switching back to the HTML Edit Mode of WebDesigner and right clicking on a field.

	Keep in mind that if you have used radio buttons, for example, on your form, you need to enter the Group Name of the buttons, not the value of each button.
9.	The rest of the tags that you can add are not required, but would make your response page more unique.

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Response_Title" VALUE="Thank You Page">

This field tells the service what text to put in the title bar on the response page.

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Response_Text" VALUE="Thank you for filling out our form.">

This field tells the service what text to display on the response page.

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Response_Link" VALUE="http://www.YourServer.com">

This field tells the service what link to put on the response page.

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="Response_Link_Text" VALUE="Go Back to Our Home page">

This field tells the service what text to insert for the Response_Link.

10.	When you are done adding fields, be sure to save the file to your SuperWeb Server site.  Then try to access the form through a browser to see how it works (for example, enter http://YourServer.com/FORMPAGE.HTM).

Purchase Order
Purchase Order Service

To continue your productivity improvement effort, there is a sample Purchase Order application that was created using Visual Basic.  At Frontier, we have used this application to streamline and take the hassles out of creating and monitoring purchase orders.  The purchase orders automatically get sent to the right managers for authorization and everyone knows who needs to sign off.  You can look on-line in a browser to see who still needs to approve the purchase order you initiated.  When the last manager has signed off, you get an email telling you that the purchase order has been approved.  You can use the Purchase Order application as it is, or as the starting point for your own application.

Click here for information about your Purchase Order Service.


Purchase Order Service Information

Installed Files

The PO Service has a few files associated with it.  They are contained in the following directories:

	In the directories listed below, C:\SUPERTCP is assumed to be your installation directory.  Replace C:\SUPERTCP with your installation directory, if necessary.
C:\SUPERTCP

Contains the main files, including the database file (POFORM.MDB) and the Program file (POFORM.EXE).  These files must be in this directory.

C:\SUPERTCP\OUTMAIL

Contains the files that are mailed to users.

C:\SUPERTCP\DEBUG

Contains any debug information.

C:\SUPERTCP\BLAT

Contains the Blat Mail Package that you need to use with the PO Service.

There are also files installed in your SuperWeb Server folder structure:

/Home

Contains POBACK1.GIF and POFORM.HTM

Miscellaneous Important Information

The POService must be named POForm.

In the Database POForm.MDB, you will want to change the Information in the APPROVAL NAMES table to reflect the people who you would like to try out the program.  The only requirements are that the FULLNAMES are the same as the SuperWeb USERNAME for that user, and that the EMAIL is a correct e-mail address.


Index Web Search Service

Have you installed the CyberSearch Information Retrieval Server on your NT server?  If so, then the Index Web Search service has also been installed.  Once you have set up the CyberSearch Information Retrieval Server to create an index of the files on your SuperWeb Server, you can use the your this service, along with your Tapestry browser, to access the index.  Click here for details about using the Index Web Search Service.


Using Your Tapestry Browser for Searching

To search documents registered on your SuperWeb Server, you can use the Search service included with your product.  Once you are done with this wizard, the service is automatically registered with the SuperWeb Server.  All you need to do is the following:

1.	Open your Tapestry Browser.

2.	In the Current Location field, located between the toolbar and the Organizer, enter the following:

WWW.YourServer.COM/websearch

where YourServer.COM is the name of your SuperWeb Server.  For example, you could enter FrontierTech.COM.

3.	You are then presented with a default search form page.  Enter the search term and click the Search button.

4.	A list of files is returned to you.  You need at least search access to a folder on the SuperWeb Server in order for any matches in the folder to be returned to you.

	You can create your own search form by using WebDesigner.  Click here for details.


Creating Your Own Search Form

If you want to use the Index Web Search service included with SuperWeb, you can either use the default search form the service returns, or you can create your own search form that calls the Index Web Search service.  If you want to use the default page, then just access the service as described earlier.

If you want to create your own search form, do the following:

	You might want to print out this topic for reference.
1.	Open WebDesigner by double clicking on either the Remote or Local WebDesigner icons:

Local WebDesigner	Remote WebDesigner
2.	Either copy and paste the text below into a new file.

	If you want to enter the text by hand, first switch to WebDesigner's Raw Edit mode by clicking on the Raw Mode button on the Standard toolbar:
<!--  BEGIN PAGE  -->

<HTML>

<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>

<CENTER>

<H2>Search Form</H2>

</CENTER>

<BR>

<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE>

<FORM ACTION=/websearch METHOD=GET>

        Enter term to search over: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=SearchTerm SIZE=20>

        <BR>

        <BR>

        <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=Submit> <INPUT TYPE=RESET VALUE=Clear>

</FORM>

</BLOCKQUOTE>

</BODY>

</HTML>

3.	The HTML code you pasted into the file is automatically displayed in WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) mode.  You can now make the page appear as you want it to.  Here are the items that you should NOT change:

The action name ("websearch").

bmc SQUARE2.BMP}	The method (GET should be used instead of POST).

This tag (which you can see in Raw Edit mode):  <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=SearchTerm SIZE=20>.

To avoid deleting these items, do not delete the Start of Form or End of Form markers.  Also do not delete the empty field where you enter the search term.

4.	Save the file to your SuperWeb site.

5.	You should now be able to access the file through a browser.  Try entering a search term and clicking the Submit button to run the service!


Customer Registration Service

Once people begin to access your Web site, how will you know who they are and how to reach them?  A Customer Registration Service is included just for this purpose.  You can create a jump from your home page to the Customer Registration service.  The users first see a form created by the service, where they enter important information such as their name, address and phone number.  When they click the Submit button, the service completes its tasks, adding the information to a database.

If people register with you, then you don't have to count on them to return to your Web site.  If you are a software retailer, your sales people could use the database which has been filled in by people using the Customer Registration Service to make calls.  You know the Web users must have been at least slightly interested in your product, so why not see how interested they really are?


Search Form Service

Web users can use the Search Form service to search your web site.  They can choose multiple search types, including context, grep, title, keyword and title/keyword.  The Search Form Help page you can get to on the form explains the search options, along with what each search type returns.

The Search Form service is called by a form containing many different search options:

Search Form

Once you have selected the appropriate choices for your search, the backend service takes over and executes the type of search you requested.   You can access the search form from a browser by typing /srchform.htm.  You can also create a link to the search form from another one of your pages.  By using WebDesigner, you can edit the text on the page.  However, because you don't have the code for Search Form, we don't suggest attempting to change the type of input on the form.

The Search Form service is already registered in WebMaster, so you can try it out right away!


Web Search Service

The Web Search service differs from the search form by accepting a string to search for in the URL itself.  For example, if you want to search for SuperWeb on Frontier's external server, simply connect to the server by typing:

http://www.frontiertech.com/websrch?SuperWeb

in your browser.  This line looks for all occurrences of SuperWeb starting at the root of www.frontiertech.com.  This service is already registered in WebMaster, so you can use it right away!


Password Service

The Password Service allows web users to change their password for the SuperWeb Server applications (WebMaster, WebDesigner, ImageMaster and HyperCheck) through a browser.  Though they can also log in to WebMaster to change their password, some people find it more convenient to change their password through a browser.

To get to the password service, enter a URL such as the following:

http://www.YourServer.com/isapassword

where YourServer.com is the address of your SuperWeb Server.


Phone List Service

The Phone List service can help your company save time and paper.  Instead of having to dig out that wrinkled, coffee stained, out-of-date phone list so many of us have buried in our desks drawers, you can place the Phone List service on your SuperWeb Server.  When employees access the Phone List, they can quickly find out information such as people's names, extensions and email addresses.

In order to use the Phone List Service, you need to have a database program (such as Microsoft Access or dBASE) installed on your computer.  The Phone List is kept in a database, and needs the ODBC drivers in order to run.

The Help buttons on the wizard the runs to set up the Phone List service explains any steps that you need to take if you don't know how to set up your ODBC drive.  The wizard also explains how you can reach the Phone List Service once it is installed.
