9.4 Work with Developer Messages (LANSA/Messages)

LANSA/MESSAGES is a stand alone facility which will be primarily available to system developers and system testers as the "Work with Developer Messages" option from the "Developer Services" menu.

LANSA/MESSAGES can be used to:

• Associate messages to any LANSA object, either temporarily or permanently.

• Exchange (Send & Receive) messages between developers and end users.

• Act as an electronic mail/notice board for LANSA objects that can be accessed by Developers and End Users.

• Notify users of existing messages when accessing an object.

• Replace the blizzard of memos, letters and scraps of paper exchanged during the application development cycle.

LANSA/MESSAGES can be run in multi-partition and multi-machine environments.

Access to the "Work with Developer Messages" components of LANSA always starts from the "Work with Developer Messages" menu which in turn can be accessed from the "Developer Services" menu.
