One-step software environment procedure

Procedure aim

In this procedure, a software environment is created that you can use to create your own customized software for LN. The environment contains a dedicated package combination and package VRCs for a customization department.

You cannot use this procedure to maintain existing environments. To maintain existing environments, you must use the sessions discussed in the Standard software environment procedure. The prerequisites for and result of this procedure are identical to those of the Standard software environment procedure.

Procedure result and prerequisites
Result

A new software environment with package combinations and package VRCs.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you have at least 10 MB free disk space and 40 MB database space available.

This section describes only the most important steps in the one-step procedure. For detailed instructions on how to enter data in the sessions that are mentioned in the procedure steps, refer to the session help.

Note

You can use the procedure on both UNIX and Windows platforms. You can use the ${BSE} notation for both platforms, as well as for the slash (/) and backslash (\) characters.

Points of attention

Points of attention for the package combination:

  • The new package combination must contain a VRC for each package, except Tools (tt) and Tools Add-on (tl):
  • The Data Director (da), OpenWorld Middleware-enabling (tm), and New Technology (nt) must not be customized. Therefore, you must include existing (not your own!) VRCs for these packages. For example, include the highest update or localization VRC in the derivation structure.
  • For the remaining packages (except tt and tl) you must include your own VRCs.
