Adding Initialization Page <add>

Overview

The <add> element under the <applicationInitialization> element specifies the application to be initialized upon application restart. To perform the application initialization process, IIS sends a fake request to the application to prompt the initialization. Multiple application URLs can be specified by using multiple <add> tags. These applications are not served to a requester. The page specified by the remapManagedRequestsTo attribute in the <applicationInitialization> element will be served to the customer.

Compatibility

How To

How to configure application initialization

  1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager:

    • If you are using Windows Server 2012 or later:

  6. To specify the name of a static file to be returned during initialization, set remapManagedRequestsTo to the name of the file.

  7. If you do not want to load managed modules, set skipManagedModules to true.

  8. To specify that the initialization process is initiated automatically whenever an application restart occurs, set doAppInitAfterRestart to true.

  9. To specify the application or applications to be initialized upon application restart, click the (Collection) line and then click the ellipsis.

  10. In the Collection Editor, to add an application to be initialized, click Add, click hostName, and then set hostName to the name of the host. Click initializationPage and set it to a URL for the application. Close the dialog box.

The <add> element of the <applicationInitialization> element is configured at the server, site, or application level.

Attributes

Attribute Description
initializationPage Required string attribute.

Specifies the URL of an application to be initialized upon application restart.

The default value is "".
hostName Optional string attribute.

A host name to be used with the application URL provided in the initializationPage attribute.

The default value is "".

Child Elements

None.

Configuration Sample

The following sample shows configuration of application initialization.

<system.webServer>
   <applicationInitialization
      doAppInitAfterRestart="true"
      skipManagedModules="true"
      remapManagedRequestsTo="filename.htm"/>
      <add initializationPage="/default.aspx" hostName="myhost"/>
   </applicationInitialization>
</system.webServer>

Sample Code

The following examples configure <applicationInitialization> for a site.

AppCmd.exe

appcmd.exe set config "Default Web Site" -section:system.webServer/applicationInitialization /remapManagedRequestsTo:"HelloJoe.htm" /skipManagedModules:"True" /doAppInitAfterRestart:"True"  /commit:apphost

appcmd.exe set config "Default Web Site" -section:system.webServer/applicationInitialization /+"[initializationPage='JoesSite.htm',hostName='JoesHost']" /commit:apphost

Note

You must be sure to set the commit parameter to apphost when using AppCmd.exe to configure these settings. This commits the configuration settings to the appropriate location section in the ApplicationHost.config file.
