Installing Additional Components

The Web Parts product requires the installation of several components on the Content Server. These components support the service calls made by the WSS and are stored in the WSS installation directory, typically named C:\Program Files\Stellent\WSS:

• WebPartsWsdls.zip (required): This contains WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) files that provide additional web services.

• IntegrationSupportServices.zip (required): This creates services that allow the Web Parts product to obtain user interface phrases from the Content Server for the user interface.

• UserProxy.zip (required): This allows an administrative user to proxy as a user from the Web Parts product. This allows some of the web services to be used in a single sign-in fashion.

• Folders (optional): In order to provide folders in the Web Parts product, you must install the Folders component on the Content Server.

• OutputFormatter.zip (required): This allows the Web Parts product to parse, print, and generate responses for various format types.

These components can be installed on the Content Server using the Component Manager or the Component Wizard. See "Installing with Component Manager" and "Installing With Component Wizard" for details.

Restarting the Content Server

Whenever you install and enable a new component, you need to restart the content server. If you prefer or require any down time, you might also choose to stop and then start Content Server with two separate commands.

You can restart the content server by reinitiating the services (Windows) or by reinitiating the processes (UNIX). You can also restart the content server by using the Admin Server. You need to have the 'sysmanager' role to access a content server through Admin Server.

To restart a content server using Admin Server, complete the following steps:

1. Log into Content Server as a system administrator.

2. Go to the Administration Applets page and click the Admin Server link.

3. On the Content Admin Server page, click the button of the content server instance that you want to restart.

   The status page for the content server instance is displayed.

4. In the option list for the server instance, click the Start/Stop Content Server link.

5. Restart the content server by clicking the restart icon.
