    When we went from LAUA to Lawson Security, and from LID to Portal, I managed to write some scripts that would execute in Lawson Terminal for such utilities as cnivmp, importdb, rngdbdump, dbdoc, dburf, userdoc, and recdef.  But now that Terminal is going away, I have to come up with something else.  My superusers had been using these, and won't have access to LID.  Is anyone facing the same issue, and how have you addressed?

    Thanks

      LID is still available for Sys Admins according to their Infor10 Lawson S3 FAQ.

        If you don't want to give your Super Users access to the LID command line(which will still be available in infor 10), you can write a shell COBOL\4GL front end to the various LID utilities. Lawson already does this with the importdb utility. This utility can be run from Portal in both batch and online mode. I believe it just uses a COBOL shell that does a Call system to the utility.

          What kind of scripts are these? Is it an option to run them from telnet, ssh, some shell, etc?

            Looks like LID is going to be the way to go - I am testing with my users now
