Before you Begin
Before you can use the tutorial examples you will need to get ready the PC and the tutorial files that you will be using. Before starting the tutorials, complete this checklist.
- Has LANSA Client been installed on your PC?
- Has SAP Business Objects been installed on your PC? This is optional. If you don't have Business Objects installed, you will bypass .
- Have you access to the files used for the Tutorials?
Instructions for setting up these files are in Set Up the Tutorial files on an IBM i Host or Set up the Tutorial files on a Windows Host.
- Is the Tutorial partition, which comes with the host-based programs for LANSA Client, available to your PC?
If you are using a standalone PC, then you will most likely have the necessary files available to you. If the LANSA Client Tutorial is not in the list of hosts to link to, ask your system administrator to create a file for you. You can also create one yourself as described in LCL008 - Create a LANSA Client Environment
- Is the communications software successfully connecting your PC to the host?
- Have you a printer attached to your PC? (This is optional for the tutorial.)
- Is Windows started?
If you can answer Yes to all of these questions, you are ready to start using the tutorial.
It is assumed throughout this tutorial that you are familiar with Microsoft Windows software.
Go to LCL001 - Start LANSA Client.
