Need help in understanding how to use WebService and XML activities in PF integrator. For example, how can I use amazon webservice to retrieve and present data I've googled and searched in Lawson and Lawsonguru with no luck.  Thanks in advance

I have a query against ICACTIVITY with a realtationship to ICTRANS ( I need this table to get the operator id). I am then sending my MSGBUilder in ane email but am getting a blank where the Operator Id should be populated.

We recently upgraded our mail server. Where is the setup or config of the smtp/mail server for all processflow processess My thinking that the smtp field where you login to the PF designer is where you specify that - but somehow that doesn't have any effect to our changes Thanks in advance!

I want to pass Data from my resource extract.  I have been to 8.0 class but no 9.0 I have tried to find this in manuals .   .

I'm trying to create a process flow that would do the following: Display the PO info from PO20.1 Based on the user action, would release the PO using PO22.1 (Can't do it from PO20 without changing the Buyer Code on the PO) Based on the user action, would 'issue final' using PO20.1 I haven't had a problem doing steps 1 and 3, but I can't figure out the API call that would use a 'R' in the FC field of row 1. I can do the call to display the PO on the first line, but can't get p...

Anyone know how to create a link to the output report of a job.... I am creating a flow that will run a job and then I want to email someone a link to the report output.   I saw something like this while at CUE but I can not find the string for the email. Thanks Shane

Is it possible in the ProcessFlow String Wizard to make a 'selection criteria' between two fields instead of just a field and a value You can select a field from the drop down box for the one on the left, but the one on the right does not. When I tried to just type in the field name, it took it, but does not return the expected results. For example I want to select if: SOH-QTY

We are now LSF9 using only LAUA.  We have ProcessFlow Standard and are using RSS.  I'm trying to determine when the Workflow User Attribute on the RMID must be set to 1.  The ProcessFlow  documentation indicates 1 for ALL ProcessFlow users. At this point, we have no approval process flows setup - only email notifications.  Even in RSS, we only use the Shopping Cart, we haven't rolled out approval routing. So for email notification process flows, do I have to have the 1 set in the Workflow User...

I have a Pflow that has four AGS calls to update information and then I have a Branch that looks to see if any failed != 0 || != 0 || != 0 This is in a branch but does not work....   I just want to send the flow in a different direction if any of the AGS calls fail.   Any ideas

I've created an Advanced Trigger in a custom version of the PR12 form. Using 1000-WF-ADD-VAR-SETUP, I add variables that correspond to all the fields on the form. The trigger kicks off a Processflow that sends any data changes to a custom approver InBasket. If the approver approves the changes, an AGS Node will submit the changes via an AGS Change call to the real PR12 form. Everything was working upon initial testing. I could Add, Change and Delete data. Upon closer inspection of th...

Is there a way to create a Smart Notification when someone has something in their ProcessFlow inbasket

We use portal inbasket for RQ approvals in 8.03. The recsum.htm allows us to see the detail of the work unit. We are in the process of upgrading to LSF9 and 9.0 apps. In testing process flow and rq approval we cannot drill down to the work unit detail. The response we received about this issue is that the recsum.htm file does not work in 9.0 if you use the portal inbasket only with the web inbasket. If we need to see the deatils of the work unit, it would need to be built using design ...

I created a very simple Processflow that does nothing more than send me an email and exit. I tested the creation and execution by initiating the flow from within a LID form. Everything worked fine. I received the email, could view the completed workunit in the Processflow Administrator console and all was fine...until...I accidentally created an infinite loop that continuously created workunits (~10,000) of them. (Talk about clogging the network and stress testing the email server!) I...

Is it possible to create a link that points to a specific requisition within the inbasket I have the following as specifics: a) customform.htm - custom inbasket form to display the requisition that needs approval b) requester id c) requesition number I tried using 'Insert Form URL' but didn't find anything that will lead me to the inbasket - just all lawson forms. Thank you for your help.

I'd like to use the Resource Query node in PFlow 9.0 to get user info (id, email, etc.) Do I need also BCI and/or Processflow Integrator installed to have the Resource Query node work Or can I use Resource Query without BCI Thanks, -Roger

How do I turn on PO Approval flow Is there something that is equivalent to turning on requisitions and the flag on RQ01 I was looking through the documentation and I couldn't even find out about RQ01 which we are already using in production for requisitions. It seems like I am overlooking a document somewhere or there isn't a PO approval flow except PO flows I am not interested in like grant management. Thanks --JayR

I am looking to create a Process Flow that will send supervisors a list of their associates with the FTE number from the employee table and the 'Actual' FTE over the past 4 pay periods (bi-weekly). I want to run this once a quarter - anyone have anything like this Thanks Shane

We have just installed env 803 and applications in AIX box. Everything seems running okay except the escalation email in processflow seems to sent the same email every 15 minutes until the in-basket is answered. Did we miss something in configuration here Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone successfully configured PF with HTTP redirect I found in 803 after turning HTTP redirect on that PF has quit working. Lawson suggests setting up a virtual IP for PF or not using HTTPS at all, but I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas TIA.

I want a second opinion. For inbasket approvals for processflow, the Access Flag must = Y to see the actual data for an approval (such as a personnel action for ESS/MSS). If the Access Flag = N, then the data will be blank as the flag restricts you to your own employee information. Just an FYI, it does not appear any of the pflow documentation says the access flag must = Y to see approval data. Can anyone else confirm this about the access flag and the inbasket Thanks in ...
