1.2 Before You Begin Checklist
Before you start using the Visual LANSA development environment, review the following checklist:
- Do you know the Visual LANSA System Type of your installation? You may be using a Visual LANSA Slave System with a LANSA for i Master System, or you may be using an Independent Visual LANSA System. The system type influences the options available in the Visual LANSA Editor. For further information, in Visual LANSA Administration, refer to
- Planning and Installing LANSA
- Visual LANSA Independent System Administration
- Visual LANSA Slave System Administration overviews.
- Are you using Visual LANSA with a LANSA for i Master System? If you are, you should become familiar with Host Monitor Concepts as described in Visual LANSA Administration. In particular, the Example Development Cycle provides a good overview of starting development with Visual LANSA.
- Do you have a Visual LANSA user profile and password in order to logon? (Refer to Logon Parameters in Visual LANSA Administration.)
- Do you know the partition that you will be using when you logon?
- Do you know the Change Management strategy being used with Visual LANSA?
- Do you have a task ID assigned for completing your work in Visual LANSA? A task ID is required at logon.
- Do you know if Repository Synchronization is being used so that the Host Monitor should be started for Propagation?
- If you are planning to use the Logical Modeler or the Database Diagram Viewer, you will need to have Microsoft Visio installed.
Visual LANSA Administration provides details to assist in the configuration of the Visual LANSA environment.
