We are having an annoying problem with running LBI reports. They will occasionally display blank output. The workaround is to clear out the temporary internet files, cookies, etc... in the IE web browser (Tools -> Options). I thought it might be due to not enough space allocated for temporoary internet files and cookies so I increasing the amount of allocated space to 1024 MB but this did not help. This happens on various reports so we know that it is not report-specific. One moment a the...

Help! This was working yesterday and stopped working today. Also yesterday another analyst and I were looking at setup screens but do not recall clicking or changing anything. There have been other Lawson issues and a company firewall change that went in. Also, the custom group that these employees are members of was strangely missing from all the reports that used to have it in the Users lists. I added it back and that did not resolve the problem. There's also an attribute called HR that wa...

maybe a really dumb question....or maybe one that has been covered out here before....but here it is... Can SSRS (SQL Reporting Services) be used with LBI or is it required that you use Crystal Any success or failure stories using something other than Crystal Thanks!

Hello - I am trying to find out if its possiblet execute a Windows batch file from within Crystal Reports.

We have a crystal bursting to hundreds of users every month. It worked before we upgraded to LBI 9.0.4.2.79 and CRAS 12.3.0.61. Now report bursting was crashed and user got pdf file unopenable. The error is 'The maximum report processing jobs limit configured by your system administrator has been reached.' It looks like LBI just overloaded CRAS server when brusting rendering report.Google the whole internet universe and change PrintJoblimit in registry, no luck so far. Any help appreciated.

I have set up my email device in LBI, and perform a test delivery (we have also scheduled deliveries but have yet to get them) I have activated my email device as well. Which is through email, so why we don't get any other emails is confusing. When we do a test we get the following error: Unable to send content to host {0}. Simple and broad message, but just wondering if anyone had any insight Thx

After we upgraded LBI to 9.0.4.2.79. We found another crazy issue with LBI. In Lawson security we assigned four roles to a users.

Sync user and roles they may show up with four roles or only two roles. Anyone had such issue What are the solution

We have a crystal report that has a longer field that is overlapping the field to its right. We shrank this field so that it will not overlap in crystal designer. However, when we publish the report to LBI, the report is displaying field overlapping. Anyone experienced this and any suggestiion

Has anyone had to create Crystal Reports to show Budget Actual for a K12 or similar customer This particular situation is that at Year End when the GL198 is run it shows all open PO's no longer as an commitment, but as an expense. So when they run budget analysis reports for period 12, prior fiscal year all Encumbrances and Commitments are zero and Expenses are increased and Budget remaining is reduced. The problem that I am finding is that when the GL198 is run, the commitment year and ...

How is anyone else handling this: Report is created on test LBI and validate by users. Report is attached to a dashboard - therefore the link in the dashboard has the ID of the report in the URL. The desire is to be able to make test and prod LBI identical - and utilize automated procedures to migrate stuff from test to prod. But when creating a solution set from test and then loading it on prod, when the report is loaded on prod it loads it as a new report with new ID. So for new reports ...

Has anyone used the Reporting Services Option 'View with Saved Parameters' I am attempting to actually save a parameter but not having any luck. 1. I mark the option under Maintain Parameters 2. I run the report that has parameters 3. I complete the required parameters 4. I name the parameter set. 5. The report runs but when I go in the 'View with Saved Parameters' there is nothing there. Once I get the 'View with Saved Parameters' option to work how do I show it on the Dashbo...

I had several RIGHTS uploaded to LBI. Then I scheduled bursted (crystal) report. However all users are getting a 'File is corrupted of damaged' error message. Interestingly, if I manually create a RIGHT and schedule the report, bursted and all that, it works! If anyone has any idea or has encountered this issue, please, please let me know. I have created a ticket for this with Lawson Global Support, however, sad to say, they are as CLUELESS as me!

Can anybody tell me how to publish a Crystal report with a subreport in it If you could do it on a numbered step by step process then I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I have a link on a dashboard that creates a report in csv so that the user can save it. How can I set a file name with a type of txt for this Location (url) is: http://vmlbisrv.domain.corp:9080/ers/ersRequestHandler.jspCMD=VIEW&INSTANCEID=LATEST&OuterWrapper=true&NewReport=true&REPORTID=35&OutputType=csv

I uploaded a bunch of users into LBI using import files. Some of them, those who has NEVER login to LBI (even if they were given access to it) would have their user id with ''. I bursted the report to 2 people, one who had accessed LBI before and the other never had. IT did not work, the former got his report but the latter didnt. Does anybody have any idea Do users HAVE TO HAVE lbi access to get an bursted/emailed report Thanks in advance.

OK, this is a wierd one... I have a user who is attempting to export the output of a Crystal report run from an LBI dashboard. The report runs fine, but just won't export for her. Also, other users are able to successfully run and export the same report & save their results locally. However, when this particular user hits the export icon, the cursor simply displays this wierd little yellow icon that looks like some sort of sunburst with a squigley red outline. But, there is no text displa...

Anyone know how to remove the search box that shows up for LBI Since this is linked into portal both search boxes are showing up and confusing users. I'm sure I can dig and find it but thought I would see if anyone has already done the leg work. Thanks.

Just asking a question (at least for now). Is there any option available to export an LBI report automatically to a file share  We'd like to keep a couple reports, and don't want to have the manual task of daily saving the emailed versions. Thanks for any suggestions, -Greg

I was just at CUE and heard that we can take the RW100 and have it copied into Crystal without rebuilding the report in Crystal after all the work was completed in RW100. How do I do accomplish this task Thank you.

I've created a  Smart Notification with the username field set as a parameter. I can manually add the parameters to the URL to filter it with http://.....¶mcount=1¶m0=[username]  What are the steps I need to take to dynamically show the information on a dashboard to filter according to the user viewing it  If not with username, then employeeID or possibly a specific Security Group

I know in Crystal Reports I can create a hyperlink using drill.jsp. And I can use query builder to get the specific drill strings. However, is there a way to do a full drill around similar to what pulls up in portal I.E., when I'm on the Employee field in HR11 and select drill I the menu of all drill arounds. I've tried capturing the calls from within portal but those calls are simply generating the drill lists and I assume the servlet is then building the form displayed....

Hello, For the life of me, I cannot successfully connect a Lawson QuickStep Crystal Report to my data source. Out of the box, the data source is set to rock.lawson.com. I preview the data, it prompts for parameters (which I fill out) then it prompts for data source, username and password.  I fill in the data source credentials that I want to use and I get the following: 'Failure to retrieve data from the database. A failure occurred  during the generation of schema information f...
