  • Various enhancements and improvements to the shipped samples and examples
  • Enhancement to Web Pages to now display a configurable Loading Screen
  • Various Web performance improvements
  • All patches shipped since V14 GA
Product Visual LANSA and LANSA for i
Visual LANSA Framework
Version 14
Pre-Requisite Details V14 GA
Special Notes User Action: After applying the EPC, if you recompile any web component (web page, reusable part, widget), to avail of the web runtime performance changes and improvements for example, you will also need to recompile all components that generate javascript. LANSA recommends recompiling all your web application objects after applying this EPC to avoid any compatibility issues.

All Version 14 Visual LANSA EPCs include updates that must be applied to Windows and IBM i systems (Independent Visual LANSA development environments only require the Windows updates). Failure to upgrade both sides of a development environment will render the Host Monitor and Super Server applications inoperable. Attempting to use the Host Monitor and Super Server applications without having applied the EPC to both sides of a development environment will generate an EPC mismatch error.

Make a full backup of your LANSA environment on each platform to which this EPC will be applied.
IBM i Specific Special Notes The IBM i instructions are expedited procedures that assume a sound knowledge of IBM i.
You should use a user profile that is QSECOFR, part of the QSECOFR group, or, has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.

You must end the web server and run the Web cleanup program before applying this EPC.

You must end the Listener and Host Monitor if active.

You must end the LANSA Integrator server if it has been used with the LANSA system to be updated.
Hotfixes The following Hotfixes will be replaced by this EPC:
Windows:
EPC140000HF_151119
EPC140000HF_151120
EPC140000HF_151210

Install Instructions

Special note for IBM i Power 5 hardware: Due to hardware conversion, you may experience a delay when importing from the VLF save files or on the first connection to the LANSA Listener. This conversion will occur only once.

  1. Sign on with QSECOFR user profile, part of the QSECOFR group or a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  2. Backup all the LANSA folders, system libraries and ALL the LANSA IFS objects (LANSA_pgmlib/x_lansa) before applying this EPC
  3. You need exclusive use of the LANSA system before applying the EPC. To check for active users refer to Appendix B How to check for Active Users in the Installing LANSA on IBM i guide for instructions.
  4. End the Listener, Host Monitor and Web Server for the LANSA system and run the Web cleanup program.
  5. Move the unzipped file EPC140010 to an IFS folder on the IBM i ( e.g. /LANSA_pgmlib/tmp/epc140010 )
  6. For this EPC use the following options:
    1. Install the EPC from = *IFS
    2. Apply this EPC to = FULL_LANSA_SYSTEM
  7. Run the following command before the LOADEPC command to avoid having to add the LANSA program library to the jobs library list.
    CHGCMD CMD(pgmlib/LOADEPC) PGM(pgmlib/DC@LCP120)
  8. Run the command LOADEPC with the following parameters:

    pgmlib    /LOADEPC and press command 4 (F4) to prompt the command (can be run in batch)

    EPC number . . . . . . . . . . . > 140010
    Install the EPC from . . . . . . >*IFS
    IFS Path and object name . . . .e.g./LANSA_pgmlib/tmp/epc140010

    Apply this EPC to . . . . . . . FULL_LANSA_SYSTEM
    LANSA program library . . . . . pgmlib
  9. Use DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*PRINT) to save a job log record of what the LOADEPC command did.
  10. If VLF is required, proceed to addition install steps in EPC140006
  11. Sign off and then on again before commencing the next installation, e.g.:
    • to apply this EPC on another LANSA system
    • to apply another EPC on the same LANSA system

The command LOADEPC is now available in the LANSA web server Admin library. Use the following instructions.

  1. If you haven't installed or upgraded LANSA on the Web Server, do so before proceeding with step 2.
  2. Backup all the LANSA folders, system libraries and ALL the LANSA IFS objects (LANSA_admlib/x_lansa) before applying this EPC
  3. End the Web Server and run the Web cleanup program. Refer to 13.5.6 Clean Up Systems in the LANSA Online documentation for cleanup instructions.
  4. Display your current library list. If QTEMP is not shown, then add it to your library list using the ADDLIBLE (add library list entry) command.
  5. Move the unzipped file EPC140010 to an IFS folder on the IBM i. ( e.g. /LANSA_admlib/tmp/epc140010)
  6. For this EPC use the following options:
    1. Install the EPC from = *IFS
    2. Apply this EPC to = LANSA_WEB_SERVER
  7. Run the command LOADEPC with the following parameters:

    CHGCMD CMD(admlib/LOADEPC) PGM(admlib/DC@LCP120)

    admlib/LOADEPC and press command 4 (F4) to prompt the command (can be run in batch)

    EPC number . . . . . . . . . . . > 140010
    Install the EPC from . . . . . . > *IFS
    IFS Path and object name . . . . e.g. /LANSA_admlib/tmp/epc140010

    Apply this EPC to . . . . . . . LANSA_WEB_SERVER
    LANSA web server admin lib . . . . . admlib
  8. Save and then delete the backout library (iiiEPCnn where iii = 1st three characters of the LANSA pgm library and nn is sequence number) created by the install. The contents of the library may be used to backout this EPC and return your system to its previous state.
  9. Sign off and then on again before commencing the next installation, e.g.:
    • to apply this EPC on another LANSA system
    • to apply another EPC on the same LANSA system
  1. It is recommended that a backup be done of all LANSA folders and your LANSA database before applying this EPC.
  2. Stop using the LANSA development environment and stop all currently executing LANSA applications.
  3. Right click on AllEPCs.exe and 'Run as Administrator'.
  4. Select the "Setup" button or "Cancel" if you do not want to proceed.
  5. If you have multiple configurations installed, Select the configuration to which the EPC is to be applied.
