LANSA Documentation gives odd results

Post by LANSAfolks »

I was wondering if anyone else have has experienced issues with the LANSA documentation website search? I searched for SET_SESSION_VALUE today and got a single result back with a page in Japanese. Next I searched for AsString and got irrelevant results? I am beginning to miss the old .chm files.

If you do get Japanese results, check the URL:

https://docs.lansa.com/14/ja/lansa015/c ... _value.htm

you can change the parameter that has 'ja' to 'en' and it should give you English results.

if you change the ja to en, you can also change the 14 to 15:

Anytime I click F1 in the IDE I get file or directory not found. I have to change it to V14 in the URL. Anyone else seeing that?

Art,
I was seeing the same issue with page not found. When I spoke to support (a while back) they acknowledged that the documentation site(s) was being updated and most the links were broken at that time. They stated it is being worked on, and with epc 150040, I have seen more F1 prompts bringing up a support page, but quite a few seem to just be generic or high level topic and not specific (such as: https://docs.lansa.com/15/en/lansa015/c ... invoke.htm).
I am hopeful with new epc releases, this will improve.

Weird it requires an EPC. Simply changing 15 to 14 in the url works. Unless it’s a new v15 function
