In the event of difficulties or errors completing the connection to your LANSA Composer server, please refer to the following:

Troubleshooting Connection Errors

Type the User name and Password

...

If you connect to more than one LANSA Composer server, you may need to use a different user name username and/or password for each server.

...

Note
Note: If you wish to create and use your own user profiles to connect to your IBM i server, refer to Creating Further User Profiles for Use with LANSA Composer.

When connecting to a new default installation of LANSA Composer server on Windows, you can usually use the User Id (and its password) that you entered in the User Id for Visual LANSA for Web Configuration during the LANSA Composer Server for Windows installation.  For example:

...

The server exceptional arguments that most usually are used to connect to the LANSA Composer server database are listed in the table.  You should refer to LANSA documentation topics X_Run Parameter Summary and DBID, DBUT, DBII, and DBIT Parameters for more complete information.

...

  • For the server connection, LANSA Composer pre-fills the Server exceptional arguments with the following defaults:

    Code Block
    DBID=*SERVER DBII=*SERVER

    In most cases, this is appropriate and will cause the LANSA Composer server connection to use values specified in the x_lansa.pro file on the server, which can be found in the .\X_WIN95\X_LANSA folder of the Windows server application installation.

  • Depending on your specific configuration, the DBII= keyword and argument value can be important for the successful operation of LANSA Composer and should usually be specified in addition to DBID= (they should usually have the same value).

    LANSA Composer does use certain LANSA internal tables for messages, locking, and other purposes.  Certain LANSA Composer operations will not succeed if the DBII= value is not specified correctly.

...

The following table shows example values for Server exceptional arguments when connecting to the specified databases.  You will need to alter these to suit your database or DSN names, system configuration, and environment.  You should refer to The X_RUN Command in the LANSA Technical Reference Guide for more information.
