'I've tried and tried but nothing comes.' - B.C. I want to&160;find out this about LBI reports:&160; - &160;What ran and did they run on time&160; - How long did the reports that ran take to run&160; I can get&160;information on what ran from ERS_REPORTS.&160; The most important fields are: REPORTID, INSTANCEID,&160;CREATED, REPORTNAME.&160; This is cumulative metadata on when each report ran, equivalent to the History for&160;reports in LBI. I can get information on the schedules...

The new ERD's for Reporting Services (RS) and Framework Services are nice.&160; Now here's another question - how can I export LBI rights&160; (Currently on LBI 9.0.1.10).&160; &160;There appears to be no mechanism available.&160; I have access to FSADM and RSADM via Crystal, and I think I could&160;write a report that would create a rights import file, if only I knew what&160;tables & fields. My goal is to put all of the users in our Production LBI into the Test LBI.&160; Right n...

Hello Does anyone know how to either assign or find the URL to published Crystal Reports in LRS&160; The scheduling tool Control M might be able to launch CR's once published on LRS.&160; However, when I click on 'properties' of a published report, I only get the generic: &160; http://portal.lawson.com/:8383/efs/goid=id351. Thanks. &160; &160; &160;

If I specify a budget no. then if tthere was an actual and no budget it does not get picked up. Has anybody tried to link these 2 tables. i am curious as to how the linking was achieved if anyone can share. T...

We are migrating from Lawson AS400 to Lawson Unix and we need to find a solution to archive automatically the Lawson BackOffice reports in LBI. The AS400&160;keeps every report that the user runs. Unix is only keeping the last copy of the report. We need to have copies of some payroll reports and we do not want do it manually after each payroll. My question is:&160;Is it possible to do it automatically&160;once the Payroll job is completed If yes, how it can be&160;achieved Thanks, Lo...

Hello Has anyone ever used the scheduling tool from BMC called control M to schedule Cyrstal Reports on a Windows Terminal Server&160; We are looking at doing this and wanted to see if anyone had any input, sites, recommendations, etc.&160; We've heard that you can do it but that it's tricky.&160; The goal here is to use one scheduling tool.&160; Also, LRS-based scheduling does not allow for contigencies; in other words, if rpt A fails, then do not run rpt B. Thanks! ps

We have recently upgraded to LBi version 9.0.2.2 on unix aix and websphere 6.1.

Does anybody know where to look and wht we can change on our side so that the time reduces. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ruma...

We are currently upgrading our LBI from version 9.0.1.8 to 9.0.2.2 and we are currently receiving the below error message when we try to validate our Framework Services. Has anyone seen this before or experienced any other issues with 9.0.2.2 *****Error 500: (security:3016) A Repository Error happened during initialization of the User Repository. This could be because of incorrect initialization parameters in the sysconfig.xml, or insufficient permissions in the underlying database.

Hello I am using CRX and LRS.&160; I have a fairly involved CR with a bunch of groupings (9) off of PAYDEDUCTN (which has about 1,000,000 records). I tried to export this report to Excel from a dashboard and I received this message: A ReportID or Name wasn't passed . I looked at the KB but couldn't find anything.&160; Any help Thank you.

If you're using Lawson's OLE DB component to build reports in Crystal, can you also&160;integrate data from other databases (non-Lawson)&160;with the objects available in OLE DB&160; Basically can you join a database table from a non-Lawson database with a Lawson database table available&160;in OLE&160;DB&160;

I have a new client who's current environment is 8.x and are planning to upgrade to LSF 9 in the near future. They have quite a few Crystal Reports that utilize RW100 as a data source. I'm being told by Lawson Support that for any Crystal Reports that use RW100 as a data source must be completely rewritten from scratch for LSF 9. Does anybody know of a less painful way I don't have access to their LSF 9 environment yet so I haven't been able to try and find a better way myself.

When using Crystal reports: &160; 1.&160; Does an advanced report developer build reports through the web or through a client/desktop tool 2.&160; Can a business user/analyst perform ad-hoc analysis and create basic reports through the web or through a client/desktop tool 3.&160; How do the answers to 1 and 2 change (if at all)&160;when you use Crystal as a part of LBI

Does the current version of Crystal Reports allow a data modeler to connect to disparate data sources and create a data layer of abstraction or business view for the enterprise so that business users can access the data they need through a single metadata layer&160; If so, is this 'business view' accessible to business users through the web &160; If you license LBI, is there still a single metadata and business view I would appreciate any input/feedback&160;from anyone that has had exper...

Hello Using LRS, does anyone know how to globally change someone's rights&160; For example,&160;ten reports have been&160;published for someone and, by default, that person's rights did not allow for an export, scheduling, etc.&160; Rather than go to each of the ten reports and 'override', can I just make a change and have that propagate to each report assigned to that personThanks. ps

Based on preliminary info and demos from Lawson, Lawson Business Intelligence uses Crystal Reports for relational reporting.&160;Does Crystal go directly against the Lawson transactional tables OR against a Lawstar schema If Crystal is going directly against the Lawson transactional tables, how is Crystal reports accessing the hierarchies which are stored in Lawson lists (MX* tables) Also, how is Crystal accessing a time dimension – which table or feature is fulfilling the role...

We are trying to run Tomcat in our production LBI instance. In conjunction with this, we have all of our users connecting via Citrix sessions to Lawson Portal where the LBI loads as their home page. Is it possible that Tomcat perceives all of these connection requests coming from the same source IP address as a DoS attack Yes, I know Lawson isn't certified on Citrix, but that is a strategic initiative here at the non-profit hospital that I work at. Also, does anyone else...
