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...

On 8.03 env, when I created ISAM files, there used to be two files, the actual data file and another with an .idx extension.  I do not see the .idx files anymore on LSF9. Does anybody know how indexed files work now Is the index hidden in the file   Thanks. Ragu

We have recently upgraded from 8.03 to 9.0.6.  Our hope was to roll out more of the EMSS functionality such as direct deposit, tax withholding etc.  What we are finding is a need to change HTML on most of these to suit our company situation.  Does anyone have a suggestion for how they track modifications to EMSS, how do you ever know with each PT, version change what you have to change etc.  The only HTML in 8.0.3 we changed were annual enrollment screens, and that was a once a year deal.  Any ...

Hi all, We changed some files in ESS MSS while in Lawson 8.03. We are migrating the environment from 8.03 to LS9. We will still be in Application 8.03. The consultant also installed the LSF9 Self Service. Is there a difference between the two Can I just copy over the ones that have changes from 8.03 to LSF9 Self Service folders that have changes are in portal, xbnnet and xhrnet of WEBDIR. Thank you all, CB

we have written a begin user exit for HR14 to avoid the users from adding any new payrates for some pay codes, we want the users to use our custom forms to make any changes to pay rates. This works fine in LID, for some reason the user exit is never triggered from portal. we are on 803 env and 810 apps on a windows server.  Is it possible to animate a program from portal i have never done it before. Any info on this would be very helpful. Thanks

I have an online progam that runs fine in LID. But in portal I get the error 'Token not found in GEN/EXECUTABLE'. I did a rngdbump on the EXECUTABLE file and verified the token is there. Not sure what is going on. Help is appreciated. Thanks. Things I've already tried: Recompiled program and all programs being invoked. Ran scrgen and xscrgen on program and invoked programs Verified program type is set to 'Four G/L'.

Hello, I've got a new field created in an existing Lawson table (BENEFICRY). I'll call it NEW-FIELD. The database dict has been rebuilt and the database reorged no problem. This is LSF9 with 8.1 apps including ESS using ORACLE. Trying to create an AGS call to push data to this new field. I'm using exisiting Lawson javascript to do it (actually, I'm using SHR002.htm.. the beneficiaries screen). I coded it something like this: ... ... 'BNF-NEW-FIELD1='  BenRec.n...

We recently moved to the 9.0 Apps and updated our EMSS as well to 9.0.1. Now whenever we click on anything in EMSS we have to see the Lawson logo on the header bar.  Where can I go to get rid of the Lawson logo

My issue is that I have a list of selection values in mixed case, for a form. LID selections bring the value as is but Portal changes them all to Upper Case and then proceeds to say 'Value Not in list:...'. How do I fix that

Does anyone know how to open a Lawson form from an .html page in LSF9 We have a bookmark that calls a .htm file which checks for the existance of the file.  If the file does not exist, it then opens up the AM00 screen. In 8.0.3 we used the following statement in our .htm file: window.location = '/lawson/portal/forms/formhost.htm_TKN=AM00.1&_PDL . . . . '. This would open up the AM00 screen in the portal window. However, in LSF9 the above statement comes back with a blank page and the error ...

We use LDAP for our Lawson logins but we have a need to restrict on the Lawson side a certain password like 'abc123'. If password equal 'abc123',   display a message to call the Help Desk.   Adding the logic in the home.html doesnt work from what i understand.

I've written a custom COBOL batch program (named P1006) that I want to use to call a SQL-Server package from the operating system command line.  The command string I'm generating within the P1006 uses two parameters entered into the program by the user.   The COBOL program compiles correctly and executes.  However, the command string being executed is not the command string that the program is generating.  I put in a display so that it echoes the command to an output file and I've verified the ...

We have recently added the LBI adminstrator dashboard to a custom portal role.  This role is based on the Default.xml role -- and was only modified to set the tag equal to the URL of our LBI administration page. Since the change, anyone using that portal role receives a malformed url when they click on the Logout link - it is formatted as follows: https://[ServerName]/sso/logout.htmhttps3A//[ServerName]/lawson/portal/index.htm You will note that the colon in the destination URL is replaced ...

I was wondering if someone could help me understand how the event FORM_OnAfterTransaction works.  We're trying to make a couple of changes to the AP20 screen to help streamline match invoice entry.  In many situations the only reason that an invoice doesn't match is the fact that a handling charge is off by a couple of cents.  I've added a couple of fields to the AP20 form so the AP user can see the amount of AOC setup on the PO and update with what came in on the invoice (without having to go o...
