    We are using lawson-httpclient.jar in a Java project to login and then make AGS calls to Lawson.  

    Basic java code:
      LawsonHttpClient lhc = new LawsonHttpClient();
      lhc.login(sSSOURL, sUserName, sPwd);
      ResponseObject response = null;
      response = lhc.executePostMethod(sTransURL, pTransXML, "text/xml");
      return response.getResponseBodyAsString();

    We have been successful with many different calls, but when we attempt to add an employee using a HR11 call we get the below return instead of a success message and the employee isn't added (this is just the end of the XML returned I can provide it all if helpful).

    < Request > MANUALCFKEY < /Request >
    <  Screen  >  PR13.3 < /Screen  > 
    <  FORMTYPE  >  window <  /FORMTYPE  > 
    <  PassXlt  >  I <  /PassXlt  > 
    <  DspXlt  >  A <  /DspXlt  > 
    <  Message  >  <  /Message  > 
    <  MsgNbr  >  000 <  /MsgNbr  > 
    <  StatusNbr  >  001 <  /StatusNbr  > 
    <  FldNbr  >  FC <  /FldNbr  > 

    I know this is the transfer to the PR13.3 to add the tax deductions and this is something we need it to do, but I can't figure out how to move forward.  Has anyone had any luck performing an HR11 AGS call to add an employee and create the tax deductions?

      Had this exact same issue - just figured out how to get around id.

      Had to include 'XMIT-HREMP-BLOCK' to bypass messages.

      Also had to include 'PT-FROM-PR134' to assumedly make the call think it was coming from the PR system.

      _txnFields += "&XMIT-HREMP-BLOCK=1000000000";
      _txnFields += "&PT-FROM-PR134=1";

      Figured this out by creating an 'Upload Query' from MS Add-Ins, then dissected AGS call via ‘View the last Upload Query sent’ to determine which fields it was passing that I was not.

      Is working perfectly now.
