13.5.5 XCLT400 - Client application using SuperServer to connect to an IBM i data server
The recommended template is XCLTBIF and use BIFs to connect to the data server.
This template provides the basic settings required to create a Version for an application that will be connecting to an IBM i data server using LANSA SuperServer. The template is designed for an application with no local database.
The Server Type is set as IBM i and cannot be changed.
The Package settings include:
- Deploy to Client without local database
- Deploy System definition
- Deploy Partition definitions
- Omit Object definitions
- Deploy with Component Support
- Deploy LANSA Communications
Nominate a Server name to connect to and ensure this exists in the Communication Administration file. Typically the Communication Administration file (lroute.dat) will be included with this Package to facilitate connection to the data server.
Ensure the Client to Server (PSCT) and Server to Client (PSST) tables are set up correctly.
