I am quite new to being a Law Sys Admin and was wondering how painful/painfree it was to migrate from an existing domain into a new domain as my organization is splitting away from the parent company. Both our dev and prod environments were installed using DNS and not ip addresses. Just so ya' know, we are using LCT 9.0.1 Thanks~

My customer's SQL database for GEN/LOGAN and app database was moved from one server to another. So, I had to repoint all of Lawson to the new database server using the CAP file (MICROSOFT) in LAWDIR/GEN and LAWDIR/LOGAN. The ODBC connection on the appserver can connect with the new database server, no problem. The gen and logan databases do exist in the new database server, and lawson user is the owner of those databases. So now when I try to reorg GEN and LOGAN (yes changes), I get the fol...

Does anyone have experience changing domain names in Lawson.  In todays, version (LSF9) do you know of any documentation in regards to changing domain names and does lawson still certiify the product if this work is performed by our in house staff   thanks,   gregg gregg.scotttvguide.com

Have an issue on WebSphere 6.1.017 (patches applied), where the web server (called webserver1) is not running (yes I've refreshed the status0> Also the Start button is greyed out. So, how do I start webserver1 Tried using startserver on command line. Stopped and restarted app server, node agents, etc. Even rebooted the box a few times, still no go. Windows 2003, LSF9.0.0.4, Websphere 6.1.017. Environment and webserver are local on same box.   thanks in advance, Roger

We are on Windows 2003 and SQL-Server 2000. We are on environment 8.0.3, service pack 7, and applications 8.1.0, service pack 6. I have a question regarding the poolmanager.properties, logan.env, and eli.properties files. Can I use server DNS names in place of the IP addresses In other words, is the 8.0.3 IOS environment 'DNS aware' or do we need to use actual IP addresses in these configuration files  Lawson's response was 'Try it and see if it works.'  I was hoping for something more defi...

I want to export my Lawson prod DB 2-3 times per week then copy and import the file into a Disaster Recovery productline server at a different site. I'm told Lawson LID doesn't support this type of automation. I'm using the command: expsysdb -s ProdlineName to-filename.bak When I tried the command from DOS prompt I get a security error. I am a Domain administrator so that our network shouldn't be the issue. Has anyone been able to run these

Do you have daily tasks that you do for maintainence in lawson... Such as check jobs (waiting), clear files (which files - like temp files from work folder) Just want to make sure I am not missing anything and see what others are doing out there..

Trying to find out if anyone's configured SSO so that *some* users have the option to Change Password in Portal and some do not. I enabled password change in ssoconfig and it appears in portal for all users. But I received a request to allow it only for some users and not others. I thought about changing the portal role file,.... Any ideas -Rog

Since our upgrade - we have an old Prod803 database sitting out there - doing nothing (currently set to offline in SQL). What is the best way to delete the database in lawson I am sure there is more to it, than just deleting in SQL thansk andrew

We're in the midst of upgrading to LSF 9.  When we use LID to log into our test server, we're unable to make a connection.  The only thing that we get on the screen is a blinking cursor.  In talking with our network team, we did a netstat -nao on the LID port number and found a PID assoicated with the port.  For some reason though, it appears that PID died unexpectedly and didn't release that port.  The port is blocked by a process that is in a CLOSE_WAIT status.  Is there a way to reestablish t...

We have a need to produce a report based off the information found in the GEN tables (USER, USEREXE, and PROGRAM specifically). Lawson says I can report off them using CASE. They had me create a GEN product line in DBDEF and create the program in that product line under system code UN. I quick painted the program, but when I tried to generate and compile the program, I got several errors. I was able to clean up most of the errors, but now I get: GetUserFd: File not in dictionary: Erro...

we are on IBm websphere adn win 2003 server (sql 2005) Anyone have any issues stopping these services / when I try to stop websphere it times out It shows as stopped, then we try to stop lawson adn it also times out.   We also have issue of webspere starting before lawson - although websphere is dependant on lawson service   Wierd.

We have several custom programs and one (a copy of HR11) never recompiles when we do a cobcmp. Per John's tip in the Feb 2008 Guru newsletter I found that the In Production flag was set to N in PGMDEF. When I try to change it to NT it will not change. It's not a huge deal, I just recompile it manually, but has anyone seen this behavior in PGMDEF before

Our team is doing a feasibility study on upgrading a exsiting environment 8.1 to Lawson system Foundation 9.0. For the same do we have any documents available on internet, which give a proper steps guidance on what and how is this upgarde   Thank You Bimal

LSF9.0 In AIX  using Oracle 9i, I've got a database space for ORACLE defined as prod_data and the indexs are defined as prod_index in dbdef. The Oracle DBA says that on the Oracle side, there are no tablespaces with the names prod_data, prod_index , but the tables (and their indices) reside in 14 separate tablespaces called law_data1, law_data2, ... law_index1, law_index2, ... etc. The queires, updates, programs are working fine. Dbreorg says there is nothing to reorg. My question is: How does...

I know how to edit the logo on the protal screen, Is there a way to edit (insert logo) onto other screens - more specifically the Pay Stub print screen in ESS

Has anyone been able to get a useful format -excel or text file- out of LDAP/Lawson Security Administrator Looking to get a list of all users and their associated identities. The reporting within the LSA tool produces only PDF or HTML reports and the formatting is so horrendous that it is unusable. Thanks

Trying to find out if anyone has successfully set up and uses multiple requester id's linked/attached to one single log on for RSS. We've got several users who order for different departments, etc, and they have multiple requester id's in RQ04. But, we want them to have one single log on ID when logging in to use Portal RSS. I know now they would need separate log on id's, one for each requester id. This is in LSF 9.0 environment with 8.1 apps, on AIX. My thought was it's possible to set up m...

After the upgrade to LSF9 by the installer, I noticed the online ED (EDI) screens don't have any of the drop downs. Example: ED10 doesn't have the drop down on EDI number, carrier, etc. Nor does ED02.  Happens in LID and portal. Tried: recompiling, re-srgen, recopy of .sr and .or from working environment, re-scrgen, pgmdump/load and recopy of pd,wd, .scr from working environment. Cobcmp of logan. Remove .gnt, .obj. recompile. Nothing works. gsc doesn't know either. Other than resinstalling EDI...

Due to resource and other constraints our prdistrib table grows to a huge table. I wonder anybody out there ever using Oracle partition for prdistrib. If so, how do you do the partition

We are starting to implement ESS - no prior experience deploying this section of the application. I have a few questions for those who have done it... Do you allow access to ESS outside your network or implemented ESS out in the DMZ Did you have to buy a separate web server If you did, how many layers of security did you implement and what are they Do you force users to change their passwords periodically Thank you in advance. Jojo

Trying to delete a service in ssoconfig . It has many identities attached to it. I select the option to remove all of the identities with the service, which is what I want. The repsponse echoed from the screen looks like a very long java error and I can't see diagnose what the complete error is because of the scrolling on the screen. Anyone know where the log or trace of sso errors may be I have tried $LAWDIR\system and the lase*logs but the java errors don't seem to be there. LSF9.0.0.3 AI...

Is or does anyone else using/use the Priviliged Identity in 9.0 for Self-Service users Since (for example) RSS needs the RQ111, using the Priviliged Identity won't work since a unique environment/os id is needed to run batch jobs. Maybe for ESS it could be used -Roger
