Features No Longer Supported

Visual LANSA Framework

Features No Longer Supported

The support of these features has been removed in EPC132100:

WEBEVENT functions deprecated

The ability to use WEBEVENT filters or command handler is a  now a deprecated feature.

If you have an existing Framework that already contains WEBEVENT filters or command handlers and you wish to add more, you can Enable Framework for WEBEVENT Functions on the Framework Properties tab.

 

Auto Session Signoff

Over time the auto session signoff feature has been rendered ineffective by pop-up blocking and browsers that do not allow secondary windows to be opened. 

Now when a VLF-WEB session is closed, an attempt is made to delete any associated temporary files it has in the temporary folder. If the close is initiated from a ‘signoff’ or ‘exit’ VLF command, the temporary files should be removed successfully. If the session close is initiated by closing the browser window, then whether the temporary files are deleted depends on the web browser being used: some browsers do not allow further requests to be sent from a closing window.

To counter any build-up of temporary files, use the shipped VLF or OS features to regularly clear unwanted files from the temporary folder. For example see  the FAQ Can I purge old information from my temporary directory in a batch job?

Web Load Image

The web load image feature has been removed.

WAMTRANS=C

The previously deprecated WAMTRANS=C (Client Side XML transformation) option has been removed from VLF-WEB and VLF.NET.

 

Form Layout Assistant

The previously deprecated FLA (Form Layout Assistant) feature has been removed from VLF-WEB and VLF.NET.

 

Rich Text RAD-PADs

Rich Text RAD-PADs are no longer supported.

GZIP File Compression

GZIP File Compression has been removed.

 

VLF-WEB – All old Windows XP style themes have been removed

The old XP theme set which was restricted to using Internet Explorer 9 (or earlier) have been removed.

All browsers are now handled the same way with the same options.

This is reflected in this old developer VLF-WEB launch form: 

 

being simplified to this in V132100:

All associated XXXXXXX_WEB.HTM  suffixed start up and launch files are no longer generated and can no longer be used.
