How to disable user and delete user under laua via process flow

You will more than likely need to create a shell script and then call that script with a Command node within ProcessFlow.

You can't really disable a user in Lawson, but assuming you have ProcessFlow Integrator, you could do this using ResourceUpdate nodes and a UserAction Node.

First, using a ResourceUpdate node, change their SSOP and environment identity to have invalid usernames.

Next, use a UserAction node to create a workunit, with action list of "Proceed" and "Cancel". Assign it to a task. Have the action timeout after 60 days, and have the timeout take the Proceed action.

After the UserAction, connect the Proceed action to a second ResourceUpdate node, and delete the user. Since the UserAction has been "holding" for 60 days, and times out, the workunit will resume after the 60 days, and fire the ResourceUpdate node to delete the user.

Assuming you assign the task to someone, they could intervene and use the "Cancel" action, and manually reset the SSOP and environment identity via Security Administrator.

Thanks John and David for your help !!..... we have an integrator...... I'll try it out With the way you suggetsed.

Thanks,
Vijay

John,

I am able to delete him from Lawson security via the way you told, I am also able to inactivate the User from RQ04, Is there a way out to delete the User from PF Set up ?

Thanks-
Vijay

Vijay,

Not to step on anyones toes, but I'm currently working on the same exact thing and have found two different ways to accomplish this through the WebRun node in PFI. One is very logic intensive and has more potential for error while the other still requires some good amount of work (setting up the nodes correctly), but is a little bit cleaner in my opinion and will accomplish deleting the User from the online PF set up. Currently we have our Approvers set up in the online PF set up with tasks for different approvals (Department Approver, Backup Approver) and with those tasks have different accounts set up that they can approve. Because of this we have to delete all three pieces that go with this (Task Category Definition, Task Definition, and Profile Definition).

I respect this site and the countless times I have used it as an invaluable resource where there is so very little out there, so I do not want to overstep my bounds but if John does not have an answer for you I would be happy to provide my examples of how I accomplish this.

jamesraceson, thanks for the kind words, and please, please feel free to overstep the bounds at any time!

Vijay, I agree with jamesraceson that you need to do this (carefully, and in the correct order), using the WebRun node. Just follow the steps you would use manually to remove the user from bpm/PF forms.

Basically, query through the WF tables and then call the various forms to delete:
Category Filter values bpm/xml/userCategoryForm.do
User Tasks bpm/xml/userTaskForm.do
Users bpm/xml/userProfileForm.do

You may also want to update their Lawson security WFUSER value back to zero.

Thanks to all for your suggestions..... I'll be trying to delete PF set up via WebRun Node.....
We are on 9.0 so I guess I can't delete them via WF forms or is there a way out ?


Thnx

- Vijay

Vijay,

We are also on 9.0. You can use the userCategoryForm.do, userTaskForm.do, and userProfileForm.do inside the WebRun node. Works like a charm.

If you would like some detailed examples, please let me know and I'll post them here. A couple of things to be careful of. One, the order in which you run the Form.do's is very important. They need to be run from the "bottom up". Think of it as you have to delete the children and then the parents. Two, the post string needs to be exact in the WebRun node for each Form.do (each one is different). Not all the fields need to be filled in with values, but all the fields still need to be passed for each one.

Thanks James ! Thanks John ! Thanks David !..... Thanks for your Help ..... I have been able to delete the users via webRun node from PF Admin set Up by following the method you all suggested.....

Hi Vijay,

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing you're doing but instead of deleting them, I'm just disabling the user. We are on 9.0.1 lsf. Hopefully I'm not asking for too much but can you share your pf script for me to get a startup?

 

Thanks,
