1.1 What Is LANSA Open?
LANSA Open is 'middleware' software that facilitates the high speed transfer of information and data between
- PC-based client applications, developed using any of the popular workstation development tools
and
- a server (LANSA), either on an IBM i, Windows or Linux platform.
An integral part of LANSA Open is the LANSA Object Repository, which contains all field and file details including the relevant business rules. This ensures that all PC applications are subjected to the same rigorous security checks, data validation and referential integrity checks as IBM i applications.
