Glossary
DLO Document Library Object (DLO) refers to a file or folder that exists in the QDLS file
system on an iSeries. These objects, referred to in Implementer as IFS objects, are supported
for change management. See also IFS object, IFS file, and IFS directory.
document A document is a special type of file created by OfficeVision/400 and stored in the
QDLS space. A document is a file, but a file is not necessarily a document. It is the OS/400
term for any object residing within an IFS folder on the iSeries. Within Implementer, the term
IFS object is used.
environment An environment identifies a collection of libraries, object owners, authorized
users, and rules about how the libraries are controlled by Implementer. See also related
environment.
environment ID An environment ID is a sequential number assigned to each target
environment on a promotion request. The number, which starts at one and increments by
one, is used for naming some libraries, save files, and other objects used as part of the
promotion request.
environment library list Environment library list is a list of up to 250 libraries used for
compilation in the environment. Of these, 248 entries are available for your use. The last two
entries are reserved for QTEMP and the Implementer work library on the promotion request.
The environment library list is used also when processing special commands for a request.
environment type An environment type defines whether an environment is for production
(*PRD), quality assurance (*QAC), or development (*TST). It enforces check out an
promotion restrictions and ensures the developers do not attempt to copy members/objects
from one production environment to another.
export An export is the process of saving LANSA objects into a device or save file to move
them from one LANSA partition to another, on the same or different system.
export list An export list is a named list of LANSA objects to be exported from one LANSA
partition to another. There are two types of lists provided by LANSA: One is visible to
LANSA users and maintainable within the LANSA menu. The other is not visible to you but
provided for object management vendors. Implementer creates an export list whenever it
copies LANSA objects from one partition to another partition.
file A file refers to the support Implementer provides for traditional OS/400 files and
objects in the IFS (referred to as IFS files). To avoid confusion, whenever an IFS file object is
referenced in Implementer, the term IFS file is used.
Implementer supports all traditional OS/400 files, for example, physical files, logical files,
display files, message files, printer files, SQL tables, and SQL indices and views. See also IFS
file.
folder A folder represents the OS/400 term for a collection of documents in a single
location. The term is used as part of support Implementer provides for IFS objects. It
corresponds to IFS directory. See also IFS directory.
