8.2.7 Configure the Non-LANSA Object Installation Path

Use the option to Set the Install Path to set up and configure the target directories where any non-LANSA objects are to be installed.

 
All non-LANSA objects added to the package are automatically set to install into the DFTPATH directory. The DFTPATH corresponds to the partition execution directory where the application is installed. It is recommended not to modify or delete this path.
To assign an alternative installation path, select the non-LANSA object(s) in the Object Viewer then use the Set the Install path option to select (and create or modify) the required installation path.
To create an installation path:

Step

How to do it

1. Create or modify an Installation Path

In the Installation Path Definitions, select the path you wish to use or create one by pressing the Define a new installation path button to open the Other Path Maintenance dialog.

2. Define the Installation Path

In the Other Path Maintenance dialog, you can create an Installation Path, maintain Installation Paths and select Installation Paths for one or more objects.

 
Installation Path Id
You must specify a name by which to identify the path. The Installation Path Id must be eight characters or less, with the first character being an alphanumeric character. Do not use embedded blanks.
Installation Path
Enter your desired path as a free-format entry or select a path from the dropdown list of available paths.
Environment variables can be used to identify a path. For example: %ProgramFiles%\LANSA would be evaluated to something like c:\Program Files\LANSA. These variables are NOT validated so you must ensure that they are correct and exist on the target systems. An unmatched environment variable on the target system will cause the copy of the file and package installation to fail.
System Variables can also be used to create an extended path.  For example: *root_dir\integrator\JSMInstance\properties

3. Save the Installation Path

Press OK to save the path information. You will be returned to the Installation Path Definitions dialog.
