    We just installed SP6 on our LSF9 Technology (LSF9.0.0.6 in test (SP4 in prod), Apps 8.0.3 MSP11, Windows, SQL Server, LS for users, LAUA for Admin).  There are two issues so far that I've run into...

    1.  Can't assign oCatValue in the start node of designer (duplicate variable error).  There is an easy work around for this...Lawson has created a PT.

    2.  Bigger problem...none of our custom inbaket htms display!  There is another PT (180287).  Lawson discovered that it is an issue with pulling in additional fields in the inbasket forms.  The DME call can't handle related tables. 

    I'm wondering if anyone has run into this yet and does anyone have a work around?

      Shari,
      #1 Try using javascript expression in an Assign node to change the value of oCatValue. I have not tried this, but will probably work.

        Actually, the work around I used for #1 was to create a variable in the start node called oCatValue2. Once I saved the flow, I was able to open the flow file (.xml) in a text editor like wordpad and search for oCatValue2 and rename it to oCatValue. I was able to assign that variable to anything I wanted to. The PT that Lawson has is PT#180537 but it's a P3 - which probably won't be released until SP7 unless they bundle it in with the fix for item #2 above.

        My bigger issues is that I don't have a work around for the second issue listed above.

        Thanks!

          What service are you using? is any of the standard delivered Inbasket Exec working?

            Yes, I was testing using requisitions (Req Approval). The standard delivered recsum.htm works, but I cannot add additional fields due to a DME failure on related tables. I might be able to store some of the variables in WorkUnit Varialbes.

              I remember when we installed LSF9 that there was a specific step required to get the inbasket .htm files to work. It involved rebuilding the bpm.ear file and redeploying it.

              It is possible that putting in a new SP requires the same process to be done. Your notes seem to say that the recsum.htm works in 9.0.0.6. Review your notes on how the service pack was put in and see if there's a reference to rebuilding that bpm.ear file in there.

                Thanks, Norm. Yes, I am very familiar with deploying .ear files. This was done - ProcessFlow itself wouldn't work if I didn't deploy the BPM.ear file in WebSphere. I did ask the GSC tech if redeploying an earlier .ear file would work - I actually tested it and it didn't. He didn't think it had anything to do with the .ear file but some of the .js files themselves (which apparently are not part of the .ear files). Thanks anyway!

                  Shari, there is a new step in newer versions of SP6 where you need to define a shared library for GENDIR/java/thirdParty/ehcache.jar ... did you do that?
                  Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
