Chapter 1: Introduction
A Workbench provides an advanced user interface to Infor Enterprise Server. Workbenches are
seamlessly integrated with Infor LN UI and the Infor Ming.leTM environment. Depending on design, a
Workbench can be started as an ordinary Infor LN session or can be incorporated on a Infor Ming.le
Role-Based Home Page.
For instructions on how to start HTML5 Workbenches correctly, check solution KB 1408013 on the
Infor Support Portal.
Software prerequisites
For a description of the software requirements, see the Infor LN UI Administration Guide .
Workbench operation
In Enterprise Server, the Workbench is supported by a 3GL session and one or more DLL and/or BDE
components. These are installed and deployed with the standard PMC tools.
The Workbench user interface, shown in the end user's browser, is supported by a web application.
The web application communicates with the relevant BDE and DLL components in Enterprise Server.
There are various subsystems relevant to the operation of a Workbench. The subsystems are:
• Enterprise Server: Infor Enterprise Server.
• LN UI Server (General Purpose): a Java based web server running the LN UI web application.
• Workbench Web Server: a Java based web server running the web application part for one or more
Workbenches.
• Web Browser: the end user's browser.
Caution: We recommend that you deploy the LN UI Server (General Purpose) and the Workbench
Web Server in the same DNS domain. If this is not possible, the privacy settings in the client browsers
must not block third-party cookies. In IE, third-party cookies are blocked by default.
