Before you begin installing LANSA Composer, check the following:

• Does your server system meet the minimum hardware and software requirements specified in Server Requirements and in LANSA's current Supported Platforms and Versions document?
• Do you have the correct version of the LANSA Composer Server for IBM i software media?  (LANSA Composer Server for IBM i is supplied on a single DVD that also contains the LANSA Composer Windows server and Windows client software.)
• Do you know the device name of the IBM i optical drive (default is often OPT01)?
• Do you have access to the QSECOFR user profile? (This is the recommended profile to be used when installing the LANSA Composer software.)
• Do you have the necessary licenses for LANSA Composer Server on IBM i?
• If you are upgrading an earlier version of LANSA Composer, have you (a) backed up your existing LANSA Composer installation, and (b) run the LANSA Composer Database Housekeeping task?  Both of these steps are strongly recommended.
• If you are installing or upgrading LANSA Composer in an independent auxiliary storage pool (IASP) have you read and understood the additional considerations and steps described in Using Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool (IASP)?

If you answer Yes to all these questions, continue with Call the Installation Program.
