Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.2) for HP Alpha OpenVMS
Referencing Input
CGI scripts that reference input to the Oracle HTTP Server must refer to
APACHE$INPUT.
Executing CGI
On OpenVMS, CGI images execute within a DCL process
.
You cannot execute CGI
images directly.
Logicals for Debugging CGI Scripts
Use the following logicals to debug CGI scripts:
Logical Name:
Description
APACHE$DEBUG_DCL_CGI:
If defined, this system logical name enables
APACHE$VERIFY_DCL_CGI
and
APACHE$SHOW_CGI_SYMBOL.
APACHE$VERIFY_DCL_CGI:
If defined, this system logical name provides
information for troubleshooting DCL command procedure CGIs by forcing a SET
VERIFY before executing any DCL CGI
.
Enabled by
APACHE$DEBUG_DCL_CGI.
APACHE$SHOW_CGI_SYMBOL:
If defined, this system logical name provides
information for troubleshooting the CGI environment by dumping all of the
symbols and logicals (job/process) for a given CGI
.
Enabled by
APACHE$DEBUG_DCL_CGI.
Displaying Graphics with CGI Command Procedures
To display a graphics file with a CGI command procedure, use the
APACHE$DCL_BIN
foreign symbol in the following format:
APACHE$DCL_BIN [-s
bin-size
]
bin-file
where:
-s:
bin-size
specifies the actual or approximate file size in bytes.
Bin-size
is automatically determined if the image file is larger than 32768 K (default value).
If the image file is smaller than 32768 K, then you can provide an approximate (or
actual) size. This will boost performance.
bin-file:
Specifies the file to be displayed.
For example:
$ SAY := WRITE SYS$OUTPUT
