We've been presenting ESS from home with Microsoft's ISA server for a few years.  It was on 8.0.  It was no problem at all routing a public, secured site through to the ess application I built outside of the portal (it's just frames presenting the links) However, we've just upgraded to 9 and it's a problem.  The new ESS site I built is with iframes and works great in the network.  However, when trying to offer it up over the internet, the new Lawson security system throws a wrench in to it. ...

I couldn't find this specific question in any of the forums: Where would I find and change the default advanced search option, from the current 'Find' to 'Filter' I've gone through all of the .htm and .js files in portal\drill\, and was able to rotate where they were on the screen, but the Find stays as the default. Can someone guide me to what I'm overlooking Thanks, Brian

We are trying to add a customer drop down box in RQ10 to link the customer to the req. What are the steps I looked at BL120D for the field and BL.SR for the definition and select, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

We need to create a simple 'opt-in' screen that our self service users will click off to constent to some company defined terms and conditions. The data could either go to a Lawson or non Lawson data repository. I'm thinking putting it in a Lawson user field that I could tie directly to the employee would be the best. Does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to accomplish creating this screen - perhaps a simple design studio form I would also like to have the ability in some cases to h...

We are part-way into our implementation, and we will soon be starting our custom development in 4GL.  Some of the development will be done in-house, and some will be done by Lawson developers.  Our infrastructure and security folks are (understandably) concerned about giving users unix accounts and rights - particularly offshore developers.  However, we know that we will have to use LID to do what needs to be done. The developers would be happy with full access to everything, while the in...

Is there a way to call a 'C' Program from Lawson COBOL. The 'C' Executable and Source Code resides within a common directory on the Unix Box. Any documentation would be appreciated.

I am trying to simply hard-code some parameters on the Next review Report in MSS. It is using the ecl.js and I have made changes to the array selections - however still asking for drop down selection... I am trying to get the Report Criteria to hard-code:  REPORT_CRITERIA_2,CR (which is 'Review' for a Manager) And DEFICIENCY_TYPE_0','CR' (which is 'Expired' for a Manager) Any ideas Sounds easy - but I must be screwing something up.Attaching a screen shot.

Is there anyway for me to capture the SQL code that is executed by a given batch job program, maybe using Net Express or some other COBOL tool  I have a nightly batch program that is taking progressively longer and longer (up to 9 hours) and I would like to see exactly what the job is doing at the database level (SQL-Server 2005). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm trying to modify the content of the instruction table in the availplans.htm file for two specific plan groups.  I can't seem to get the proper to display for only two specific plan groups.  If anyone could point me in the right direction to customize the text in the instruction table I would appreciate it. ty

I made a change to the select drill-around for the Location Code field on AP10.2 by modifying the AP.SR file.  I added the ADDR1 and ADDR2 fields to the select (AP-VLO-S-0014).  This was followed by an srgen for AP as well as an scrgen for AP.  When bringing up the form in LID and then doing a select on the Location Code, the drill-around form shows my new fields as expected.  However, if I do the same thing in Portal, the new fields do not display.  I tried an IOS Cache Refresh, but it did not ...

Hi all, I haven't found much information on this subject.  However, I've found a table in the GEN database called VALLSTUSE that lists function codes and their translated values for each program in a productline.  However, the table lists ALL function codes, even those at the line level.  There doesn't appear to be a unique identifier for which function codes are for the form and which are for objects of the form. What I'm trying to accomplish... I've written a C program that will go t...

Hi Everyone, I think I've found a bug with the portal page designer and wanted to see if anyone has a workaround.  We're setting up an online screen that will be used for effort certification (modeled on the sample for CHOP that was published in the guru letter last year).  The page consists of two elements: 1) DME query showing all uncertified effort records. 2) Formlet to the GM65.2 screen. The DME query is linked to the GM65.2 screen so that when a user clicks on a row in the DME query ...

I have a question that I don't know which category it should go, so I enter here.  We have a board approved project, for example, $100,000.  Under 100,000, there are 4 tasks, each task has $25,000.  When project is on going, under each task, there are autorized sub-task1,2,..etc , let's say,  sub-task1 for $10,000.  So,  the construction department currently maintain an excel spread sheet to log all the records. Nothing to do with Lawson so far, until we need to pay vendor for the sub-task1...

Hello, I need to unlink a specific library and relink a new library to a specific program in 9.0.0.6 LSF9 AIX environment. It's been literally years since I've needed to do this. Can anyone refresh me on how to unlink an existing library and relink a program to a new library I've created using libdef  I don't see any options within pgmdef or libdef on how to do this, nor do I see some type of link lib command in $COBDIR/bin (or is it rebuild) Thanks in advance, Roger

Hang on to your hats because this will be fun. Scenario: Individual Action work units (WFWORKUNIT) are created via ProcessFlow trigger on PA52.x, both Portal/LID and MSS. Requirement: Now here is the fun part!  Again I am only talking about work units that are created from PA52.x. I have been tasked with building an online form that allows the user to review the WFWORKUNIT but, here’s the fun part, I have to be able to apply HR Security to the work unit. Meaning I have to ...

We run Lawson software and are upgrading to a new version (9). We are trying to resolve a browser problem with IE7. Here is the issue: Ops puts a file 'gllogin_status.txt' in the Lawson index directory if the database is down. The js in index.html checks the document.referrer and then, if successful, it needs to redirect to the asp page (new_url) to check for the existence of 'gllogin_status.txt'. The browser shows the index.html in one browser, and then later the js code does a window.o...

Okay...   I know that this is probably more than Lawson intends BUT.... I am hoping I could create a splash screen for ESS that would include FRAMES to pull in different delivered information - all on one screen  (I did not want to customize a page I just wanted to have a splas screen pull delivered bookmarks into one page.) I was hoping to replace the htm links below with different ESS pages but I get an error saying that I can not display the page outside of lawson...   (But I want to displa...

Hi all, How do you increase the screen size of the Benefit Enrollment See attached BenefitsEnroll.JPG. I cannot seem to find the style or frame in the ui.css. Its too much to modify each BN enrollment screen.   Thanks, Jude

We are LSF9. I have a request to flag expenses entered into EE20 randomly (say increments of 5 or 10) to be identified as an expense to be audited.  The expense would be identified on the EE275 report at the end of the day or week.  Has anyone had a similar request or possibly know of a method to do this  Thanks.

Hi all, In the ESS MSS htm and java scripts codes ( xbnnet and xhrnet ), what is the GLOBAL variable that stores the User Name (Login). Example: Employee number is referenced as authUser.employee Thank you, Jude

has anyone used a servlet/router/data/erp call and directed the output through an .XSL (XML Style sheet) the IOS programmers guide does not refer to a parameter to support this, at LSF 9.

I would really like to change several of the AP Userfields. e.g. ISR-USR-FLD-01 to FLDNBR1 Does anyone know how to make this change. The application is AP20 - usr field tab.   Thanks!

We need to collect email address and cell phone numbers from employees and I don't see any way to do this natively in ESS on V 8.03 apps. I see email is in the Employee table but it looks like a user field will be needed for cell phone. Has anyone deployed a collection method such as this and if so by what method (DS form, custom program, etc.) Also, anyone know if these fields available in V 9.X of HR / ESS Thanks.

The need:  Schedule a reccurring job (recdef) to automatically feed in a required date parameter that is always moving.  Users want the job to run every monday with the previous monday's date in it. Anyone ever fool around with the GEN/JOBSTEP table -specifically the PARAMS column in a script I'm told that 2201001041 somehow is representative of 010410  or maybe 01042010, but I can't seem to get the pattern. Anyone have any suggestions/thoughts/comments   Is there an easier way to do this ...

Hello, I'm doing some customizations within CASE/4GL COBOL for Lawson, and I'm using some of the Date/Time API's. What are the actual values which I can use as a calendar input for these API's I can't find any documentation on the values, and I don't see the name value of a calendar. I just want to use a standard or system calendar. What is the name I can use within COBOL Any ideas   Thanks in advance, Roger
