Before you begin your development of fields in the Repository, it is recommended that the following checklist be reviewed:
- The purpose, concepts and architecture of the LANSA Repository are understood so that your development efforts will properly centralize application information.
- All Repository development procedures, standards and guidelines are known by/available to every member of the project team. (Refer to 1.2.2 Centralizing Information in a Repository and Development Environment Administration in the Visual LANSA Administration Guide.)
- LANSA Object naming standards and guidelines are known by/available to every member of the project team. (Refer to Field Naming Standards and the LANSA Object Names in the LANSA Technical Reference Guide.)
- All field level Repository features have been identified and development impacts are understood. (Refer to How are Repository Fields Used?)
- A decision has been made regarding the use of the Corporate Data Dictionary Concept.
- You have read the 1.5.2 Developing with Fields section of this guide and you have identified the methods that will be used to create fields in the Repository.
