Application Configuration

To configure LN, you must specify various configuration parameters and settings.

• Parameters and settings

  You use this module to maintain system parameters and settings, which impact the system setup for all users. Examples are the setup of timestamps on LN tables, the standard behavior of the LN print server, and the location of the web server for the LN workbench applications.

• Package combinations

  A package combination is a collection of various LN software packages. Every package combination has a unique VRC. The package combination links users to a specific version of the LN software. A package combination can be linked to one or more users and to one or more companies. However, a package combination can contain only one version of a package, which is identified by a package VRC.

• Languages

  Most LN implementations use several languages simultaneously. LN supports any combination of languages within one LN environment, as long as the languages are supported with LN. The support is restricted to certain databases.

• Shared memory

  The shared memory is a part of physical memory intended for common use. Programs communicate with each other through shared memory. Shared memory results in faster access to the components loaded in shared memory. To enhance the performance of your LN system, you can load program objects and report objects into the shared memory. Before you set up and initialize shared memory, you should verify that the hardware and internal memory is sufficient.

• Sensitivity labeling

  Sensitivity labeling enables you to provide feedback to the end user about the sensitivity of the information on an LN screen.

• Multilanguage application data

  If your LN system uses the Unicode character set, you can run multiple languages of the LN software, such as Chinese, English, and French in one LN environment. Also, you can enable LN to store shared application data in multiple languages. This is useful if users from all over the globe are using the same environment. Depending on the user’s software language, the application data can also be displayed in the same language. If a report for a business partner is printed, the layout and data of the report are in the business partner’s language.

• Customer defined fields

  You can use the Customer Defined Fields (CDF) sessions in the LN software to store additional information in tables without creating customizations.
• Document Management (DOC)

  The Document Management module provides general document management facilities to LN. Document Management ensures the efficient and secure use of consistent and reliable document information.
