You can choose to deploy Web APIs in an automatic or manual way.
-
You can directly deploy the PowerServer Web APIs to the specified IIS web site from the PowerBuilder IDE.
-
You can deploy the PowerServer Web APIs to a folder first and then copy the folder's content to the IIS web site.
After that, the IIS process manager will automatically launch the Web APIs when requests are made to access the Web APIs.
Although you don't need to start the Web APIs manually, you can verify the Web APIs by following the instructions in the section: Verifying the Web APIs.
