Setting Up a Test ASP and Testing the Local Database

You can use an Active Server Page (ASP) to retrieve data from a test database and return an XML file in Siebel format to the Siebel XML Gateway business service.

To set up an ASP and local test database

1. Install Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 on a local Windows machine (for example Windows NT or Windows 2000).
2. Create a virtual directory with the name you specify. Make sure the property for the virtual directory has write permission.
3. Create the following files in the folder to which the virtual directory points:
   • cashflow.asp
   • Perfomance.asp
   • ModelValueByClass.asp
   • ModelValueBySector.asp
   • holdings.asp

     NOTE:  For information on viewing these sample ASPs, see Sample ASPs for Household Financial Accounts Virtual Business Components.

4. In the same virtual folder, create a test database for all the fields in a Microsoft Access database titled mdb.mdb.
