Step

How to Do It

ü

LANSA for the iSeries, LANSA for the Web, and Visual LANSA Framework installed on the IBM i server.

You require a functioning Visual LANSA Framework system running in order to be able to use RAMP-NL.

Newlook installed on the development computer

You will need to start with an full installation of Newlook on your development computer.

A full installation means one that is installed from a newlook setup program and not a nlmain.cab file.

Licensing requirements for the target system

Establish the minimum supported configuration (MSC)

You need to formally define the minimum configuration your solution will viably support, including:

·      Minimum hardware requirements

·      Minimum software requirements

·      Supported screen resolutions

·      Minimum networking capabilities

·      Maximum data volumes.

A formal MSC will:

·      Inform decisions about the overall solution cost

·      Establish the environment required to test the deployment of the solution or any patch/hotfix made to it.

·      Raise management's awareness of the risk in implementing a "sub-MSC" solution.
