A myriad of Client / Server configurations can be implemented. Before you start deploying any Client / Server application it is essential to understand:

  • What pieces of the application belong on the server and what pieces belong on each client.

  • What are the requirements of the runtime environment on the respective client and server.

  • How the client is intended to communicate with the server.

  • How are updates to the client and server going to be managed.

  • If you have appropriate LANSA licenses to install.

  • Scenario? Network Client? Web Application?

You also need to decide on the deployment of the application. See 12.1 Client/Server Deployment Considerations for further information.

Some of the common Client / Server scenarios that can be implemented are:

         12.2 SuperServer Application using Built-In Functions to Connect to Server

         12.3 SuperServer Application connecting to a Windows or Linux Server

         12.4 SuperServer Application connecting to an IBM i server

         12.5 Network Server Installation
