Step 3. Test Deployed Web Application

This step will execute the deployed web application. To do this, you need to be aware of settings which the deployment has established:

• The deployed server name (PSLU) is WEBAPP, which was then name of your deployment Application.

• The application is deployed to your PC, so the domain name is localhost.

• LANSA defines a web site configuration in IIS, with a port number starting from 8081. The port number used for the deployed application was shown during the install.

• The web page name uses the Identifier name for your web page component. You can find this by displaying the web page's Properties:

• The partition was specified in the deployment package, by the Execution parameters. The partition is defined as [Current], meaning it is the same as the partition where you built the deployment.

1.   The URL to execute your web page has the following syntax:
http://localhost:<port number>/<server name>/<partition>/<Identifier.html>

      Your URL should look something like this:
http://localhost:8089/webapp/dem/my_main.html

2.   Enter this URL in your browser. There will be delay the first time, while LANSA Web jobs are started.

3.   Test your web application. Click on a Contact to open its Details dialog, allowing change or delete:

      Or use the Add button from the Contacts view to open the Add contact dialog:

4.   When you have tested your deployed web application, set Version 1 package status to Distributed. That is:

a.   Select 1.0.0 Version 1 for your WEBAPP - Employee Web Application.

b.   Use the context menu or toolbar button to set the Status to Distributed:

      Setting the package to Distributed, means it can't be amended. That is, it can no longer be opened in Package Maintenance.

5.   To review the contents of a distributed package, select 1.0.0 Version 1 package and use the context menu or toolbar button to Review Objects.
