SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides essential guidance for configuring Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) web servers to effectively host and manage the InterSystems Web Gateway, ensuring optimal performance and stability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IIS Restart Procedures: Details the correct method for restarting IIS services to apply Web Gateway configuration changes.
  • Worker Process Management: Explains how IIS application pools, web gardens, and worker process recycling impact Web Gateway connections and stateful sessions.
  • Bitness Configuration: Guides on matching the bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) of IIS application pools with the corresponding Web Gateway modules (DLLs) to prevent errors.
  • Use Case: When deploying an InterSystems Web Gateway alongside IIS, understanding these considerations is crucial for troubleshooting connection issues, performance bottlenecks, and ensuring seamless application delivery.

Quick Start

Consult the documentation for restarting the World Wide Web Publishing service to apply Web Gateway configuration changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restart IIS to apply Web Gateway configuration changes?

IIS worker process recycling impacts Web Gateway by dropping stateful sessions, as each recycle event terminates active connections and forces clients to re-establish their session state.

Why does my InterSystems Web Gateway fail on IIS with a bitness mismatch?

The Web Gateway fails on IIS when the bitness of the application pool does not match the corresponding Web Gateway modules, requiring you to align 32-bit or 64-bit settings.

How do IIS application pools and web gardens affect Web Gateway connections?

IIS application pools and web gardens affect Web Gateway connections by imposing connection limits per worker process, which can influence overall performance and stateful session stability.

What causes stateful session issues when deploying Web Gateway on IIS?

Stateful session issues on IIS are caused by worker process recycling and web garden configurations, which terminate active Web Gateway connections and disrupt ongoing session continuity.

Does IIS worker process recycling break Web Gateway stateful sessions?

Yes, IIS worker process recycling breaks Web Gateway stateful sessions by terminating active worker processes, which severs existing connections and resets any maintained session state.
