Standard software environment 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.
Procedure result
A new software environment with package combinations and package VRCs.
Prerequisites
Ensure 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 standard software environment procedure. For detailed instructions on how to enter data in the sessions that are mentioned in the procedure steps, see the session help.
Note: You can use the procedure on
both UNIX and Windows platforms. You can use the ${BSE} notation for both platforms, and
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 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.
Creating a standard software environment
- In the session, create a new package VRC.
- In the session, create new directories for the software components of the new package VRCs.
- In the session, create a new package combination.
- In the session, link the package VRCs to the new package combination.
- In the session, link companies to the new package combination.
- link users to new package combination.
- In the session, change the authorizations for the developers.
- Optionally, use the Initialize Tools (tlcom0200m000) session to initialize the Test tool for Business Data Entities (BDEs).
- In the session, authorize the normal users for a new or other environment.
