LANSA Composer Client
This version of LANSA Composer provides a new client installation program that uses "standard" Windows installer/MSI technology. It will appear as a separate item in the Control Panel Programs and Features and can be uninstalled in the usual way.
Only a single copy of the LANSA Composer version 8.0 client software may be installed on a Windows computer.
Altova MapForce version 2024, release 2 (2024R2) is provided on the media. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade MapForce to this level on all LANSA Composer clients.
LANSA Composer Server on IBM i
The LANSA Composer installation on IBM i servers now correctly supports installation into independent auxiliary storage pools (IASP), if required.
Installation and configuration of LANSA Composer's COMPOSER_RUN SOAP web service support is now automated on IBM i servers.
LANSA Runtime Version Information
LANSA Composer version 8.0 is built with LANSA version 15 EPC level 150070 and requires a run-time environment at least at that level. In addition, it requires LANSA Integrator at EPC level 150046. This is of concern only to existing users who have installed LANSA Composer in an existing LANSA system. The upgrade of standard LANSA Composer installations (in their own LANSA run-time system) will upgrade all the necessary components. The Client Runtime now utilizes DirectX rendering.
