Running the LANSA Composer Client on the Windows Server
When you install LANSA Composer Server on Windows, the LANSA Composer client software is also installed on the Windows server computer.
If you wish, and if your operating procedures permit it, you can logon to the Windows server computer and run the client software in offline mode (that is, accessing the LANSA Composer Windows server database directly).
This mode of running the LANSA Composer client is not recommended for normal use. Most usually, you will install the LANSA Composer client software on one or more client computers that will connect to this LANSA Composer server on Windows. To do this, follow the procedure described in LANSA Composer Client on Windows.
However, if you do choose to run the LANSA Composer client installed with the Windows server, there are some further steps that you must complete before you can do so.
- Install supporting software
Full use of the LANSA Composer client requires Optional Products that are not installed with the LANSA Composer server. You may need to manually install this software on the Windows server. If so, you can find the installation programs for Altova MapForce and the JDK in the \WINCLIENT\Installs directory of your LANSA Composer installation media.
