Enabling WebSocket Protocol

Bizview 8 HTML5 client are using a computer communications protocol, called WebSocket, which is providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection.

This needs to be enabled in IIS during the installation of IIS server (or added later).

If not already installed, the WebSocket Protocol feature can be installed from Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Application Development > WebSocket Protocol in Server Manager/Roles and Features:

After the WebSocket protocol has been installed, the Bizview web.config file needs to be modified in order to utilize this communication protocol in Bizview 8. This needs to be done in IIS Manager.

1. Open IIS Manager, mark the Bizview application, and press ConfigurationEditor:



2. Navigate to Default Web Site/bizview Web.config in the "From" drop-down menu and select WebSocket under system.webServer/webdav in the "Section" drop-down menu:



3. Change the "enabled" state from True to False and press Apply:

   

   Note: If this option is greyed out and disabled, you must unlock the "enabled" attributes for all application host configuration files. This must be done in the "AplicationHost.config <location path=" file. Select this option in the "From" drop-down menu and press Unlock Attributes:

   

   Now, you are able to go back and make the change in the file related to "websocket" in the Bizview config.file, as described previously in this topic.
