Overview

LANSA Composer consists of server and client components:

The server components provide run-time support for executing integration solutions designed with LANSA Composer, as well as client support for the client software and web support for the browser-based operational interface.

You must install or upgrade the server components on a supported server platform.
You may wish to create multiple server installations, for example, to support separate development and production environments.
On an IBM i server, you can have multiple Composer installations, on a Windows server, you can only have one.

The client components connect to an installed server and provide the design tools and environment for designing and deploying LANSA Composer solutions.

The LANSA Composer client software must be installed on each PC to be used for developing LANSA Composer solutions.

The LANSA Composer application DLLs are now signed to reduce the risk of being quarantined or deleted by an antivirus.
During the installation, a new database configuration called EXAMPLE_MYDB is created to construct a database connected to the installed database.
You can now choose a theme per connection to identify what server you are connected to.
