LCL008 - Create a LANSA Client Environment

Bypass this section if the Tutorial partition is included in the list of Hosts to which you can connect.

If you don't have the Tutorial partition included in your list of host systems, it can be added using the LANSA Client Administrator. This can be done on any PC and the environment file (LC.LCX) copied to your PC.

Note: The Administrator does not give you any special authority or access to the data on the host. Access to host data is controlled by the security options in the LANSA Repository. These are independent of LANSA Client.

The LANSA Client Administrator can be accessed in more than one way depending on your site's preference. Refer to the Administrator Tasks in the LANSA Client Administrator Guide for the options available.

The LANSA Client Administrator dialog box is displayed when you start the Administrator.

The LANSA Client Administrator dialog box shows you the hosts to which you could be connected and allows you to specify the options you would prefer to use in your LANSA Client environment.

The options you select on this dialog box apply to LANSA Client in general, rather than when you are connected to a particular host. For further details of these options, refer to the Administrator Tasks in the LANSA Client Administrator Guide.

1.  Choose these options for this tutorial:

Option	Setting for this tutorial
Application Generation Support	Tick this box. A tick authorizes you to generate applications.
Saving results: Field Name, Field Label or Field Description	Select the Field Label.
Default Join Type	Select Matched Records.

2.  Press the Add Host button to specify the host details as described in Define the Host & its Options.

3.  Press the Language button to select the language in which you wish to run LANSA Client. The default is English.

4.  Press the Query Location button to specify the location of the query, if it is different to the default (C:\Program Files\LANSA Client V13).

5.  You will not use the DateTime Result options during these tutorials, so the defaults may remain unchanged.

5.  When you have completed the setting the Tutorial partition details, press the Save button. The options you have defined are written to the LANSA Client configuration file, LC.LCX.

6.  Press the Exit button to exit from the Administrator.

     If the Administrator, as described in this section, is not running on the same PC as the tutorials, you will need to take a copy of the LC.LCX file and add it to the LANSA Client directory on the PC to be used for the tutorials.

     Anyone wishing to access the tutorial, can do so with a copy of this LC.LCX file.

Before you can use a new or changed LANSA Client environment, you must close and start LANSA Client again.
