Install LANSA for i on the target IBM i application server | If LANSA for i is not installed on your target system, use the LANSA CD to install it. Note that the LANSA system has to be on the same version and EPC level as the system on which the deployment material was created. | Follow the instructions in Install or Upgrade LANSA on IBM i Guide. |
Install LANSA Web Server | If not already installed, install LANSA Web Server in the machine designated as the web server. | Refer to Install or Upgrade LANSA on IBM i Guide to install and configure LANSA Web on an IBM machine. Refer to Install or Upgrade LANSA on Windows to install and configure LANSA Web on a Windows machine. |
Ensure you have a web license | Ensure the target application server has a Web license. | If you need more information, see Licensing at the LANSA Support website. |
Verify that LANSA Web is installed and operational on the target system | Make sure the partition is web enabled. |
|
Restore your Framework definition file | Restore your Framework definition file from the save file. |
Import deployment material to the application server | Use LANSA's import facility to install everything from the save file Bnn_ALL to the appropriate partition on the target machine. | Use the option Import objects into this partition of the LANSA Housekeeping menu. Check that the import was successful. |
Restore the non-LANSA objects | If your application contains non-LANSA objects, restore everything from the Bnn_OMn files into the appropriate IBM i library on the target system. | Use the RSTOBJ command to restore library-based objects from the save file. For example: RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(B01_OM1) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(B01_OM1) |
Execute the Framework application | Execute the VLF-ONE application. | Typically starting URLs are formatted like this: http://<host>/<lansa system>/<partition>/<entry point web page>?Lang=<language code>&FrameworkID=<framework id> For example: http://localhost/MyLansaSystem/PRD/MY_OEXEC.html?Lang=ENG&FrameworkID=MY_VLFONE_SYSTEM |
Instruct your users to create a shortcut for the application. | Usually the best way to launch a VLF-ONE application is from a shortcut. | See Shortcuts for Launching VLF-ONE Applications in the Framework guide. |
