What table in the LBI database contains the info that shows what dashboards and or modules a report id is linked on

Hi, We are in the process of preparing for an LBI upgrade. As part of preparations, we would like to understand LBI report utilization, that is, how frequently are our 400 LBI reports in Production being used. Knowing this information will help us better prepare and prioritize our work. Is there a feature in LBI that will tell us how often each report is utilized, and perhaps by which Users or which User Security Groups Thank you!

I use the device type 'Network Drive' to export files and place them in the exact folder another system uses to import the file. My problem is several systems need the files named specifically with the current date in the name. I know the Report Name is what's used for the file name when it's exported, which I don't like but can live with. So far I've been able to work around it, but now I have a system that needs the Date FIRST, ugh. Does anyone have a solution for adding dates to the filen...

We are trying to use a Lawson report as a data source in crystal. We have the URL and are able to publish that to LBI. But ultimately we would like to use the report to create a larger report in Crystal which we could then publish in LBI. Is there a way to tie this report to the tables in Lawson via Crystal to create the larger report Any thoughts or suggestions anyone has would be appreciated.

Since this is a reporting question pertaining to SCM, I posted in both places in hopes of finding someone who knows just what I need! I'll let you know up front, I'm new to reporting for Supply Chain, so if this is too easy of a question....don't hold that against me! The business wants me to create a report (custom, of course!) to highlight the cycle count variances. Apparently, Lawson only tells you 0 (zero) variance if your count is greater than the expected count. But, here's...

Hi, We are using Lawson Portal 9.0.1 at our workplace and we always have issue with report not showing proper format in pdf. When we run report using RW100 and then go to view options PDF-landscape, it does not show all the columns in the report. I am attaching a file that shows example of this on page 1. To fix this, we use a cumbersome approach, where we open the print folder, locate the jobname, change the font type, orientation, scaling to display all the columns and format properl...

I'm writing some Crystal reports that hit the LBI table.  I want to know when reports are scheduled to run, and when they ran, etc.  I can build performance metrics against this once I can get this info.  Apparently the Quartz Scheduler stores date/time as a number using its own Java method.  The fields in question are in EJS_TRIGGERS -- NEXT_FIRE_TIME, PREV_FIRE_TIME, START_TIME, etc.  Does anyone know the algorithm to use to convert these times  I see big massive numbers instead of anything ...

I have a Crystal report that reads Lawson files and a .csv file. When I publish it to LBI it asks for User Id and password regardless of the options I choose in Data Settings. I have done this with .xls files and there is an option in Crystal under Verify Database for Secure Login and I make sure that is unchecked but I don't get that option in this report.

I have a requirement to log each time a report is run. Does anyone know how this can be configured

I am exploring the capabilities of the Dashboard in LBI. We leverage them regularly today. Several of the items on our dashboards are bursted LBI reports to managers. I'd like to be able to burst an Excel document to managers, and have that be available on a dashboard. I know I can have LBI read an Excel document, but Excel is not an approved data source for us, so the end-user only sees the most current refreshed version (which we are Ok with). We are just exlporing ways we can make acce...

This report is combined Lawson and EPIC information. The sub report is by customer and summarizes the total charges for every department the customer (patient) uses. I have 3 shared arrays in a sub report that is grouped by customer (group1) and department(group2). Array 1 is the count of each department and amount value. Array 2 is the value of each department code. Array 3 is the value of each department’s total charges. There is an additional shared maximum value for the count of th...

When we upgrade to v10, we are moving from Oracle Solaris (Unix) and Oracle DB to Windows and MS-SQL. We have 700 reports. What is the best practice to get the reports converted to MS-SQL from Oracle Doing this all on go-live weekend is not acceptable. Do we spin up a new version of LBI and point it all to sql Or do we republish the reports in current version with just a new name Other options Other opinions

I'm using the query builder for oleDB object services to bring the Lawson print file and format it in crystal. I used the oleDB object builder for CU201, MM280 etc it worked. But when I use it for RW100 or HR170 I get following error... --------------------------- LawsonQueryBuilder --------------------------- An error was returned from the Lawson Application. The error code is [ERROR_GENERATING_XML] The error message is [ An unknown error occurred. Please contact your system admin. ]...

Hi! Does anyone know which table holds the Default Permissions for reports We have been struggling with intermittent issues where the 'Ability to view with refresh data and view with saved parameters' gets unchecked. And we're really looking for a way to audit all of those default permissions. Thanks in advance, -Greg

Greetings, I am doing some exploration on the creation of a Total Rewards Statement. I am looking to design something that would basically consist of an employees total compensation package that could be accessed, for example, in Employee Self Service. I'm wondering if Lawson can be used to provide this type of information and if any other organizations have tried it, and if so, 1. What can you share about how you prepared for this type of project 2. Did you have to purchase any ad...

We're currently running LBI version 10.1 (a little behind, I admit), and are wanting to get updated to the latest and greatest. Problem is there's some confusion with versions and licenses, specifically when talking about Infor BI (or Infor BI for Lawson)... It looks like 10.6 is the latest, but we're being told it's a separate product at that point and that there would be a change in our license terms. So ultimately my question is: what is the latest version that is still technically 'LBI'...

We are cleaning up our dashboards and want to track the report usage. We are on LBI 10.2.0.0.126 and have elected to allow dashboard audit. We want to prepare a report that can be run on demand to track the report usage. Does anyone have any suggestions Thank you. Donna Shelton

We have more than 5000 LBI users configured in Lawson back office with LBIUser group. However, We only got around 5000 users propagated over to LBI. Any help how to resolve the issue is much appreciated.

So I have a Crystal Report built where I am showing financial data Primarily from the GLAMOUNTS and FBDETAIL tables. The report basically looks like this: Company | Account | MTD Actual | MTD Budget Its subtotaled at the company group level. So for one month its working correctly.What I want to do is make it so that the end user is picking the month they want to see from a drop down list rather than creating a report per month or a report that lists all months. The problem I'm having...

We have DS code that funs a PO120 job and pops up the report in LSR format. It is working in our dev environment but not in our QA environment. Although, if I run it in PDF format (comment out the LSR line below and activate the PDF line), it brings it up in .PDF format fine. Below is the error in the log stating that the program is not enabled for report format. does anyone know how to enable the program for that format porpt='/servlet/Reportaction=LSR&file=/'hst'/law/print/'usr'...

I need to run a report on all 'OPEN' payment status.  When I view app.pmt-status, OPEN is a valid value, but the field is derived.  How do i find out what data they use to derive the field value  The field appayment.pmt-status is not available to choose in a report, i am assuming because it is derived.

I heard that in LBI 10.5 that all Crystal reports have to be OLE DB. Can someone confirm this We have many reports using SQL and Views and to convert all of them would be very time consuming. Hoping ODBC will work with 10.5 Thank you, Dan

or is it generated on the fly

I am trying to publish a Crystal Report in LBI and schedule it to export in excel format to a network share. This seems like it would be a simple and popular request, but I don’t see the option to do this. Does anyone have any experience in this, or know if it’s possible Thanks
