Step 1 Create a JIT Server Package

Step 1. Create a JIT Server Package

DTE075 – Create a Just in Time Server Installation

1.  Open the Deployment Tool from the Tools ribbon.

2.  Using your initials for II, create an application: IIJITSRV:

     Application: IIJITSRV

     Description: JIT Server Personnel System

     Company: II Systems

3.  Click Create and the New Version dialog will open:

4.  Enter a Description: Version 1 and select the XAPPSV template.

5.  Click Create. The Package Maintenance dialog will open.

     The XAPPSV template has configured most of the required settings. Settings groups which are not required have been hidden. Note that Install Listener: Yes is selected.

     The Required Execution parameters include the special value *licences for Process to Execute. This will start the Server Licence application to enable a SuperServer licence to be loaded initially.

     No changes are required to the Required Execution Parameters settings.

6.  Click on the Settings   button in the toolbar to open the Settings dialog.

     Note: The deployment is to a client without a local database. You would only require a database for a JIT server installation if this system is also the application / database server for the application system. In this case the server would run the applications as well as delivering upgrade packages to the desktop client part of the application.

7.  Click OK to close the Settings dialog.

8.  Save the package definition using the toolbar   button. Close the Package Maintenance dialog.

9.  The JIT Server will install a LANSA Listener. Before building the package, you need to complete the listener definition by selecting the IIJITSRV application and opening the Communications Administrator dialog using the   toolbar button.

10. Open the Listener dialog from the Advanced menu.

 

11. Set the listener Connection Identifier (it's a Port number). A suitable value will depend on what other listeners you already have defined on the target PC or server. This exercise will install to your desktop. You probably already a your Visual LANSA listener set to the default setting of 4545. For the JIT Server set the value to 4547 or any other suitable value.  

12. Click OK to close the Listener Information dialog.

13. Close the Route Information dialog. This will save a listener.dat file in your package definition which will be used to configure the listener when it is installed.

14. This change will prompt a message box, as shown:

     You have completed the definition of your JIT server package.

15. Select the Version 1 package in your IIJITSRV application. Check the package definition with the  toolbar button. This should report zero errors.

16. Build your package using the toolbar button.

     After the build is completed, the Package build Log will be displayed.

17. Filter to show All messages only and scroll to the bottom.

     You should have no fatal messages. The one warning message concerns the allocation of a GUID to your package.

18. Close the Package Build Log.
