5.12 Define a Deployment System

1.  Create a host route entry for the Deployment system using the LANSA Communications Administrator. Refer to Add or Change a Host Route in the LANSA Communications Setup Guide.

2.  Define the Deployment System in Visual LANSA by selecting New Remote System. The Remote System Name must match the LU Partner name of the Host Route created in Step 1. For information about the New Remote System dialog, go to Create Remote System in the User Guide.

3.  Indicate if the Deployment System is a Linux or IBM i build environment.

     If the build environment is IBM i, the option to Refresh System Information from the Deployment System will be available and pre-selected.

     If the build environment is Linux, the option to 5.15 Initialize the Partition on the Deployment System will be available and pre-selected.

     The Remote System's Partition must be Initialized before any objects can be delivered to the Deployment System. This can be performed when defining the Remote System or later from the context menu associated with the Remote System.

Note - The 5.16 Deliver To command will only become available after Refresh System Information from the Deployment System or 5.15 Initialize the Partition on the Deployment System has been completed successfully for this Deployment System for the current partition.
