Before You Use the Tutorials

Before You Use the Tutorials

Tutorials can be used by novice or experienced LANSA developers who wish to learn how to use the Visual LANSA Framework. Developers should have completed the Visual LANSA training course or the equivalent. No advanced Visual LANSA knowledge is required. LANSA for the Web training is required if you are using the Framework for Web development.

It is recommended that you complete the Tutorials in sequence. Complete the exercises related to the style of application that you are creating. If you are only creating Windows applications, you may wish to skip the WAM related exercises.

To allow for more than one developer to use the tutorials, all LANSA object names will be prefixed with iii. You may use any three characters, such as the initials of your name, for the iii characters. For example, if you name is John David Smith you can use the characters JDS. When asked to create a component named iiiCOM01, you will create a component named JDSCOM01. Always remember to replace iii with your unique 3 characters.

If you are using an unlicensed or trial version of Visual LANSA, you must use DEM to replace iii. When asked to create a component named iiiCOM01, you will create a component named DEMCOM01.

It is recommended that you use the DEM partition for the tutorial. The DEM system contains the Personnel System demonstration and all required files used by the tutorial.

In order to use the Tutorials, you must have the Visual LANSA Framework installed in the partition (installed by Partition Initialization).

The tutorials require the Personnel Demonstration System files (installed by Partition Initialization).

There is no limit on the number of developers who may use the training at the same time. However, it is important that each developer has a unique iii identifier for their work.
