Step 2. Create a WAM

WAM005 - Create Your First WAM

a.  Enter a Name of iiiFirstWAM (where iii are your initials).

b.  Enter a Description of My First WAM.

c.  Leave the Layout Weblet field blank.

d.  Select a Framework Personnel & Payroll.

e.  Click the Create button to create the new WAM.

Note:

• When you leave the Layout Weblet field blank, your WAM will automatically generate a wam layout based on Theme Layout #1 – One Column (std_themelet1_1col.xsl). You will create and use your own layout using a wizard in a later exercise.

3.  The New WebRoutine dialog will appear. Deselect the Show this dialog . . .  option and select Cancel. You will create your WebRoutines manually in the editor. You will use this dialog in a later exercise.

4.  The LANSA Editor will now display the WAM's RDMLX code. At this stage, it will not contain any WebRoutines:
