LANSA Composer

3.5 Run a Processing Sequence

You can initiate running a Processing Sequence in several ways.

While you are designing and testing your LANSA Composer solutions, you will usually run a Processing Sequence from within the LANSA Composer client application or from a "shortcut" on the LANSA Composer client computer.  Refer to the following sections for more information:

3.5.1 Run a Processing Sequence from the LANSA Composer client

3.5.2 Run a saved Processing Sequence "shortcut" from a client computer

In a production environment, you will usually run a Processing Sequence outside the LANSA Composer client application. This allows you to:

  • Initiate running Processing Sequences from your own applications
  • Create shortcuts to run Processing Sequences
  • Submit Processing Sequence runs as batch jobs on your IBM i server
  • Plug-Processing Sequences into your job scheduler of choice.

Depending on your requirements and circumstances, you can choose from one of several means of initiating a Processing Sequence run:

3.5.3 Run a Processing Sequence from the Operations Console

3.5.4 Run a Processing Sequence using the COMPOSER command

3.5.5 Run a Processing Sequence using a Run Control File

3.5.6 Run a Processing Sequence from a LANSA application

3.5.7 Run a Processing Sequence by calling the Web Service function

3.5.8 Run a Processing Sequence using the DXP1FN1 function
