LANSA for the Web Administrator
The LANSA for the Web Administrator should be installed only on the System Administrator's PC. This is both for development and deployment systems.
Web Administrator is used to:
- Configure the IIS Plug-in, Servlet, Apache Module
- Configure the Web Runtime (Windows, IBM i, Linux)
- Configure the IBM i Web Server
- Perform maintenance tasks on Web Runtime.
These are tasks that usually only a System Administrator will perform.
When using LANSA for the Web on IBM i, you will only need to install, as a separate process, the LANSA for the Web Administrator. This is described in Task: Install Other Features .
The LANSA for the Web Administrator can execute in a local mode for IIS Plug-in configuration on a Windows Web Server, or it can execute in a client/server mode to the Data/Application Server. In client/server mode, it requires a connection to the Data/Application Server. A TCP/IP connection using a listener program on the server is recommended for this.
