    First, let me start with saying that I am totally 100% functional, so I am sure that when posting this question that I will leave off something important.

    We have a problem that Lawson and Velocity have been unable to help us fix at this time.  We upgraded our production environment to LSF 9.0.0.9 and our LP programs plus the PR135 will not run.  The error message reads: ERROR:    execjob Process Died, 991538
      WARNING:  Job Step May Still Be Running, Check The Process Id From This Job Log

    We rebooted the server last night....and have no jobs hanging, etc. We have done other things based on the recommendation of Lawson and Velocity....but nothing worked. 

    Has anyone else encountered this problem?  We are running out of time because Payroll runs next Tuesday.

      Are all of those programs compiled correctly? 

      What version are the LP programs compared to other programs such as HR, Procurement and Financials? Are you licensed for the LP programs?

      Does the problem happen both in LID and Portal?

      Do other jobs/reports run OK?

      I'm sure if you've got both Lawson and Velocity on it, some solution will come forth soon.

        Thank you for the information.

        Yes, Velocity recompiled all programs. All jobs run okay, except for LP100, LP130,LP140 and PR135. The problem does occur in both LID and Portal.

        Below is the summary from Velocity of all that has been done thus far:
        This issue started after ESP 9 was applied for LSF900. It is duplicated in all product lines (DEV & TEST in the dev. environment and PROD in the production environment). It is affecting the production payroll, which has already been established. We have recompiled the programs, product line, recycled the environment, and last night recycled the entire server (which included PROD and DEV Lawson, DB and LDAP). We are processing the jobs through LID, so the Websphere application servers should not come into play.

          What platform are you on?
          Do you have errors in lajs.log or ladb.log?
          When you upgraded, did you recompile BSI tax factory?

          Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

            Thank you John for replying.

            We are on AIX. I am not sure if they recompiled Tax Factory....but I will ask Velocity immediately.

            As for the lajs.log or ladb.log errors....

              If it's only those specific jobs which are bombing out, can you create *new* versions of the those jobs and see if those new versions will run?

                What do you see in the 'examine log' for one of those failed jobs?
                Are they listed in job scheduler as 'needs recovery' or as 'completed"

                  Roger....Yes, our IT person created a copy of the PR135 in TEST and it ran.....but she is scared to do the same to the LP update jobs.  She is sharing that information with Lawson to see if that helps to resolve the problem.

                  Thanks for replying!

                    John...The jobs are listed as "needs recovery" in the job scheduler.

                      What I would try at this point:

                      In the TEST productline, I would pgmdump on PR135, save off the PR135 source code files, and then remove the program in pgmdef. Then I would copy the PR135 source back in the the /prsrc directory and run the pgmload on the PR135. Just something I would try. Jeff

                        Jeff -

                        Thank you....I am passing your suggestion on to the IT staff now.

                        Thank you again!

                            Hi John....I will find out what is in the "examine log".

                            I can overhear the IT group and Lawson are on a Webex together. It sounds as if Lawson can see the reports behind the scenes but the User only sees the job ending in error in the Job Scheduler.....no output in the Print Manager.

                            I should have asked one of the IT guys to open post this question on Guru, so that we could respond quicker. I am a Functional Consultant working at this client on another project....When I heard that they upgraded their production environment and these errors popped up, I went into panic mode and tried to help by posting on Guru.

                            Thank you so much! I will check on the "examine log".

                              Ok guys....

                              Here is an update on our emergency. Lawson found the problem....something was wrong with a PR135.cfg file. They removed it and the jobs ran....but when they put the config file back it broke the jobs. Lawson is going to give us new config files.

                              As a functional person, I am not sure I understand this.....but I know all of you will understand. I am just glad they finally found a resolution.

                              MANY THANKS to all you that replied to my question .

                              Have a great evening!
