About the IIS Application Pool

In IIS, IEE web services are accessed through the IEEWebServices virtual directory. This virtual directory is created during IEE installation.

In IIS 6.0, all virtual directories are assigned to an application pool. The application pool allows various run-time settings to be configured for the set of virtual directories assigned to the pool. By default, the IEEWebServices virtual directory is assigned to the DefaultAppPool application pool.

Create a new application pool that can be configured to meet the special requirements of IEE web services.
