1.2 Integrity
The self-contained LANSA for iSeries development environment has many facilities to protect its integrity. In some situations, at a global or system level, these integrity checks may appear to make the job of manipulating a LANSA for iSeries system harder or more complex than it needs to be. However, they are necessary in order to maintain the stability of the system.
Note that:
- Open System Utilities are provided on an "as is" basis with complete source code and documentation.
- They provide you with extensive knowledge of the internals of your LANSA for iSeries environment, allowing you to extend the shipped utilities or to develop new ones.
- The type of manipulations the Open System Utilities perform require skill and care to be exercised whenever they are used.
- No warranty is expressed or implied in the provision of these utilities.
Some of the facilities provided by these utilities include:
- High speed movement of complete partitions between environments and machines.
- Stripping down of non-development systems (i.e. to run-only) to minimal size.
- Change LANSA for iSeries program and/or data library names.
The number of these utilities is continually growing.
