Specify the start up form

Enter the name of the start-up form in your application.

UF_EXEC is the standard start-up form. You will have created your own entry point form so specify its name.

Note that your entry point form needs to point to the correct Framework definition file. For more information see Getting ready for deployment in VLF-WIN.

Double-click on the parameter Form parameter Form to Execute (FORM=) in  in the Required Execution Parameters area.

Add Other Framework Objects

Locate your XML files in the execute directory of your partition (for example C:\Program Files\LANSA\X_WIN95\X_LANSA\x_DEM\execute).

Add these files to the package (if you have saved your Framework definitions with other names, add the corresponding XML files):

• vf_sy001_system.xml
• vf_sy001_users.xml (if using)
• vf_sy001_servers.xml
• vf_sy001_tables.xml

If you are deploying a RAMP-TS application, add the VF_SY001_nodes.xml file, the corresponding VF_SY001_nodes*.js file and the <framework_name>_eng.js file.

Add U_bif987.dll and u_bif985.dll from the X_LANSA Execute directory.

If you want to deploy default Virtual Clipboard content, select VF_Framework_Virtual_Clipboard_Default.dat and/or VF_User_Virtual_Clipboard_Default.dat.

Double-click Nonclick Non-LANSA Objects to Objects to browse for the objects. Make sure you are browsing in the correct LANSA system.

Select the objects and click OK.

Then set the path where the objects are to be installed:

• Use SYSPATH (system execute directory) as the installation Installation Path Id for U_bif987.dll and u_bif985.dll. For the other objects:
• Use DFTPATH as the Installation Path Id (for example *PART_DIR_EXECUTE)

Include RAMP-NL objects

If you are deploying a RAMP-NL client that will connect to an IBM i server, you need to add RAMP objects to the package.

Follow the steps in Check in Check List => WIN-RAMP-NL.
