I have enabled the Lawson delivered PF, pocostmsg.xml. This PF triggers when you enter an invoice with a higher cost than the PO.  So, to test, I enter a PO, receive it and invoice it with a higher cost than is on the PO.  It creates a cost message like it should. This does trigger the pocostmsg PF and a work unit is created. The problem is that the WU stays in 'Ready' status. If I 'Restart' it, it runs with no errors. There are no messages in the pflow.out file. Can anyone give me suggestions o...

Hi there, How do we control the URL that's generated by the UserAction activity node to take actions by HTML email My customer has an approval flow in Infor Process Automation (IPA) to approve/reject requests. The approvers take action by email with Approve/Reject buttons in the email. Technically speaking, I have a flow with a UserAction activity node, with two actions Approve/Reject, with a notification message that has the checkboxes 'HTML content' and 'Allow actions via email'. The re...

I recently attended a webex for the apps Infor offers for mobile devices.  I would like to get the Mobile Inbasket app set up for our users but I can't find any information on how to do this.  The webex just stated that an 'attribute on the user's security profile' needs changed before they can access it.  I'm having trouble finding this attribute.  Also, I'm assuming there is some other setup that needs done for the phone to access the website as far as firewalls etc. but this was not stated.  ...

My project is to find issues where employees are setup without actor records and actors that are setup without links to employees (this is common but only for vendor access) and where the email address on the actor is different than the work email address on the employees profile. See attached document

I want to create a multi-step batch job that does three things: 1) Run HS535 to create a CSV interface file of pending time records entered via ESS Time Entry 2) Run a Process Flow (or some other way) that would create a new CSV file that excludes certain Pay Codes I don't want in the next step 3) Run PR530 to create a payroll batch from the previous steps 'edited' records Creating the PF for step 2 is pretty straight forward. I just don't know how to put this as a step in a batch jo...

Has anyone successfully changed fields for multiple benefits for an employee using a BN32.1 Change AGS call   I am building a process flow to change the Benefit Deduction Stop Date for a select group of Benefit Types of benefits that were recently stopped for an employee. Using a transaction node the BN32.1 Change AGS call that I built works fine for the first screen/page of benefits. The change transaction is returning an error any page after the first page of benefits for the employee. In r...

Flows work in prod. On test, on the PF admin screen, I see WU created (Ready for processing). Flow does not seem to kick off. At the least, shouldn't a log be created in the folder lawdir/bpm/wflog Where do I start troubleshooting Thanks. Ragu

I am having an issue with the Expression builder in the ASSIGN node. For example, when I try to assign the results of a query, Query630_EMAIL_ADDRESS to a variable, it encloses it in double quotes - vEmail='Query630_EMAIL_ADDRESS'.   So the result is a string instead of the result from the query. Version 9.0.1.7, Tried it on a Windows 7 machine and a Vista machine. Same results. DO I just need to download and install a different version Or something else  Thanks.

I am using a Lawson query nore to pull a record from ACBUDDTL (or any other file).  When I look at the log, I see a record was found, but the outputData variable is empty.  Here is my log: Activity started: LwsnQuery7790 (Run Id: 2) S3 Query LwsnQuery7790: Executing S3 query: PROD=DEVEL2B&FILE=ACBUDDTL&KEY=IT-IT26SPROJECTS=IT-PR011021=1=ITOL1=2013&FIELD=ACTIVITY-GRP;ACTIVITY;BUDGET-NBR;ACCT-CATEGORY;FISCAL-YEAR;PERIOD-AMT;PERIOD-UNIT&OUT=CSV&DELIM=, LwsnQuery7790_errorCode = 0 LwsnQuery77...

We have been using PFI for several years. We have only one flow that has a user action in it. It's basically triggered when a user tries to release a PO > $5k in PO20. When they do, it triggers a process flow. The flow had a display exec that was a portal page designed using Design Studio. The portal page just had a formlet that displayed a custom PO20 form with inquiry only. All of this worked great the last couple of years. Now we're trying to use Mobile In-basket. It doesn't work because t...

I run a query against HRHISTORY to identify employees who have made address changes via self serve. We are required to notify them via email. Problem is they may get several emails depending on how many fields they changed. The records selected are not in sequence. I have a routine which eliminates most as it checks the current employee against the previous, if they are the same it bypasses the loop. We do not have the SQL node available. Is there a way to identify unique employee records. Any a...

We have a custom job that we run on a regular basis and I have build a Crystal Report off of the data that this report creates.  I am looking for a way to have IPA kick off the URL to create a historical instance of the report in Reporting Services.  I know what the URL is and have tested entering it in the browser and verified that the syntax is correct. We have create a WebRun node in a process, but we cannot get it to work.  Has anybody done this before and do you know what our values woul...

I have been told there is a conversion tool that can be used to convert the files from XML to LPD.  I'm sure there will be modifications needed on some of the nodes afterwards.  Right now, I'm trying to find the converter tool and would like to know which nodes will need to be modified the most.  Pitfalls and lessons learned would be much appreciated. Thanks

Our 9x flows worked fine.  All of our syscommand nodes used the 'su' syntax on a windows server: su -p password username -c 'my command here'  for example su -p ABCD1234 lawsonuser -c '\\\\server\\sharename\\command.ba' (all backslashes are doubled because they need to be 'escaped' first)   Problem 1:  IPA no longer allows the 'su' as part of syscommand -the documentation says it's no longer supported -I have tried running my syscommands with 'su' and it says 'cannot run program 'su'' Pr...

We have a scheduled flow that runs every day (Mon-SUN) at 12:15. My supervisor wants to 'stop' it from running on Sun, but we are a Monday thru Friday shop.  Is there an easy way to do this

I am creating a process flow for both PA52 and PA56.  These forms require a hidden key (hk) value to be populated.  I am using variables to populate the field:  _HK= The Company and Employee field appear to be left padded with zeros automatically (as I know I they are not being passed in with the data).  However, the Action Code needs to be left justified, space filled right in order for the hk to be populated correctly.  How is this done with Process Automation

I am creating a PA52 process flow that also includes comments.  When a Personal action is performed manually and comments are added, the user clicks on the comment button and PA56 is displayed.  I have tried to code this using IPA, but am not having any luck either getting the comments added -- error states that Pending action not found.  Or not 'linked' -- meaning when I am able to get the comment to add, it does not show when I try to pull them up with the Lawson screens for inquiry. Here is ...

I'm not sure if this should be in the Design Studio or Process Flow forum - so I may cross post if I don't get a response. Here is my situation:   I have a Process Flow that has a User activity. The user activity has a custom 'exec' xml portal page. It basically displays information for a Purchase Order (takes data from the header, detail lines, and distribution). The portal page works if I hard code in the value of the PO for the dme queries. What I'm wanting to do though, is somehow pass the...

Does anyone have a Display Exec for LP70 which they would be willing to share   Thanks

I'm working on an display exec htm to display PO infor, similar to the example recsum.htm provided by Infor.  I'm sure I can work through it, but I like to start with a small success, like displaying a field or two from the PO header, then gradually add more. The problem is that we are an Infor managed services customer.  If I want to test my display exec htm file, I need to create s service request for them to run the perl script to update the EAR file, and restart Websphere.  Their normal tur...

We have several Process Flows that were created and tested in TEST.  We have since moved them to PROD, but we see that the DataArea/ID (in the Properties area) shows TEST, not PROD.  How do we change that

We have need to map the NT0000000x id's to that actual users.  Historically, we have used listusermap and pumped that to some custom table (we even developed a custom drill around in AP for ease of data access).  However we have a couple of special wrinkles (i.e. also need employee number) which got me to wondering if it would be possible to pull the UID using a resource query and then convert that to the properly formatted NT0000000x id since all the NT0000000x really is the hexadecimal represe...

Many years back we had a consultant design our inbasket for Job requisition approval. the COO is the final approver. Our new COO would like more fields added to his inbox display. I am thinking that if I know the file, I can edit it using design studio to pull more information (I may be wrong here). What is the file that defines the display and what is the path to it Sorry im so new to processflow.  Please help.. Thank you

I created a File Channel for a file system on a Windows VM.  I have tried both the Local and Remote File Channel Types but neither seems to recognize my files.  Has anyone set a File Channel up for a Windows VM before

Within a File Channel, is it possible to point the Error File Directory and the Processed File Directory on a different Windows file server  Right now I have the location as: D:\Lawson Data\HR Separation\errors D:\Lawson Data\HR Separation\processed What I would like to do is put them on a different windows VM, something like: \\windowsVM\Lawson Data\HR Separation\errors \\windowsVM\Lawson Data\HR Separation\processed
