This step will execute the deployed web application. To do this, you need to be aware of settings which the deployment has established:
- The deployed server name (PSLU) is WEBAPP, which was then name of your deployment Application.
- The application is deployed to your PC, so the domain name is localhost.
- LANSA defines a web site configuration in IIS, with a port number starting from 8081. The port number used for the deployed application was shown during the install.
- The web page name uses the Identifier name for your web page component. You can find this by displaying the web page's Properties:
The partition was specified in the deployment package, by the Execution parameters. The partition is defined as [Current], meaning it is the same as the partition where you built the deployment.
1. The URL to execute your web page has the following syntax: http://localhost:
<port number>/<server name>/<partition>/<Identifier.html>
Your URL should look something like this: http://localhost:8089/webapp/dem/my_main.html
2. Enter this URL in your browser. There will be delay the first time, while LANSA Web jobs are started.
3. Test your web application. Click on a Contact to open its Details dialog, allowing change or delete:
Or use the Add button from the Contacts view to open the Add contact dialog:
4. When you have tested your deployed web application, set Version 1 package status to Distributed. That is:
a. Select 1.0.0 Version 1 for your WEBAPP - Employee Web Application.
b. Use the context menu or toolbar button to set the Status to Distributed:
Setting the package to Distributed, means it can't be amended. That is, it can no longer be opened in Package Maintenance.
