Had a good one come up this morning. Payroll called and was trying to look up a well known active employee, the message says employee does not exist. If I run a crystal report on the HR History file there is data there, its almost like they got deleted from the Employee table only..
Only one of my security classes allow a Delete on the HR11-however when it is done on the Hr11 itself, the history goes with it as well so I am really stumped on this one!
We have restored the employee from a back up file but anyone have any idea how we would find out how that employee got deleted???

If it was the entire table, and PAEMPLOYEE was intact, I would suspect database-level truncation (assuming the table structure was there, just no data).

Perhaps via Lawson commands, bldxxxddl -UR or truncfile.
Or truncate table via SQL.

Reminds me of a time a client told me that the DBA had removed all of the indexes "because they were taking too much space".

the table itself was fine, just had one employee missing from it....HRHistory was there, PR history was there...very weird,
we have eliminated the possiblity of someone running a HR125 on this employee...have no idea how this happened but will need to come up with something for the powers that be!

Was the employee deleted from PAEMPLOYEE?

I know I should never say it can't be done, but I would've made a bet that it couldn't be done - through any normal channels, anyway! Do any of your users have access to screen painting? Could someone have deleted instead of changed?

Does someone have access to SQL tools? Sounds like someone used something besides Lawson products to delete the employee.

In that case, I would have to suspect someone deleted via SQL.
