It should be stepped out pretty clearly in the AMT install guide/manual. ??

Sorry, got pulled away for a moment. The basics are this:
1) download from mylawson
2) unzip
3) run lawappinstall (with various options)

I like to run lawappinstall with a preview option first, so that it simulates what it is actually going to do without actually doing it.

Then I run lawappinstall with the update option, followed by lawappinstall with the activate option.

If any database changes are needed, you'll likely need to bring down server1 for the environment that you are working on. But that should about do it.

You can refer the AMT and CTP installation guide.
1. Download the ctp and create a CTP folder under the %GENDIR%\install folder. (You can store any where, but this is the place I install it from)
2. Unzip the file in the CTP folder and veiw readme file for additional information.
3. Launch LID command line.
4. CD to the folder that you download to: cd %GENDIR%\install\CTP
5. Excute: perl %GENDIR%\bin\lawappinstall preview Productline.
6. Excute: perl %GENDIR%\bin\lawappinstall update Productline.
7. Excute: perl %GENDIR%\bin\lawappinstall activate Productline.
8. Type "Yes" enter when prompted to activate patch and "Yes" for objects to be compiled.
9. Check the application source directory for any *.err files from compiling: CD %LAWDIR%\Productline > ls **src\*.err (This will show you if there is any error.)

Also, Before the installation, you need to shutdown WAS server and ask users log off Lawson. Sometimes, there might be a dead lock when re-organizing database. The installaion guide also instruct you turn off lawson security before you applying patch. I don't know if that is necessary but you do need to remember to turn it on when your system back online.
