How the Static Pages Are Generated
The web site administrator starts regeneration of the web site by using process SET_175 and choosing the option to Generate Static Pages. This function (SET175) assigns all the unique HTML page names that will be required and then submits functions SET175B-F. Each function is submitted once for each HTML page to be generated. So, for example, SET175E is submitted once for each possible eastbound first port and once for each possible westbound first port. Each page that SET175E generates contains links to all the possible second ports for the first port.

The pages are generated in the directory in the IFS that was specified when running the "Generate Static Pages" function (SET175). They have the prefix S_175. They can either be accessed on the IFS, or they can be copied to another web server. The user accesses the web pages by opening page S_175MAIN.htm with a browser.

The link to dynamic process SET_175B function SET175G is to demonstrate that a static page system can still include links to dynamic LANSA for the web functions (for those situations that can't be handled easily with static pages).

The Eastbound Schedules dynamic link and the Eastbound Schedules static link can be used to compare how resource-heavy the two methods are.
