8.1.3 Just in Time

Set the Just in Time (JIT) options if you want upgrades to the application to be automatically deployed from a central server when the end user starts the application. If you are going to distribute changes manually or via DVD or a network, you can bypass these JIT options.

Before you select your Just In Time options and settings, please review the recommendations in  Just in Time Upgrade Guidelines.

Standalone Install Required (UPSI)

This option specifies whether the installation of packages requires all users to be disconnected from the LANSA system. It is added to the startup process for the application when starting it from its Icon.

Yes - The system must have no active users before installing the package. If any user is connected packages will not be installed/upgraded.
