Is anyone out there using API and have upgraded to the Laborworx version (API .NET) We are trying to create a JDBC connection to the database, and cannot any longer. It used to work before we upgraded, but has something changed in the database config that is now preventing us from using a JDBC connection Thanks in advance, -Greg

When I open LARGE reports in IE, it opens the blank page. But other browsers like Firefox and google chrome open the report in pdf format. Any idea why IE is not supporting the large PDFs

We just recently had our LBI SSL certificate expire and have had all kinds of issues updating it. We followed a user guide provided by Lawson but to no avail, then we hired consultants to help us out and they were unable to fix the problem. After several days of working with them, they were finally able to tell us that the issue lied with our certificate being 2048 bit instead of 1024. We switched the certificate out and are still unable to get the server to recognize the SSL certificate. ...

We are researching the possibility of Configuring an LBI Dashboard Content Module so that it executes a script or command line transaction. For example, we have a Dashboard link content module that executes a process flow, which in turn executes a SQL Server SSIS package on another server. We're trying to see if we can just save time by configure the running of a script or command line transaction to run the SSIS package directly. Anyone encounter or put something together similar to this Th...

The crazy thing is that the correct reports reappeared in LBI some time later when I logged back in. The only thing I did int the interim was create space to back up my Lawson Documents and look for posts on the issue. I was concerned that there was an issue with a corrupt Lawson Documents file and created a back up copy of the file but now I don't see any thing out of the ordinary. The LBI folder that should have been deleted is gone and all the other reports are displayed again in my LBI...

Hello I have an employee roster report that is created on a schedule each everning and creates an Excel spreadsheet available as a link through our self service web page. Users have stopped using the report because it can take from 30 seconds to a minute to open the report - there are about 8,500 lines in the report. On my machine, I have a mapping to the server where this report resides. If I go directly to the server folder and open the spreadsheet, it opens in a couple of seconds. ...

We are evaluating publishing Income Statements in LBI that are drillable to lower levels. Has anyone tried this I am wondering if sourcing from RW would be better or going directly to the Lawson tables.. also, not sure how drilling would work.

Should financial statements be built using RW100 and published to Crystal or built from scratch in Crystal to ensure the best performance  Are there additional considerations when determining the best tool to build financial statements – security, Reporting Services, Drill Around, etc.   My experience is dated, but at one point building financial statements pointing directly to tables was not best practice. I understand the limitations using the OLE DB connection to a RW100 data source, but...

Our RAS server, which resides on our LBI server, was configured so the 'LogOn As' setting was set to the LocalSystem account. All of our LBI cyrstal reports were running fine, but reports that were modified (even slightly) and redeployed were failing. Infor isolated the issue to the RAS server. Changing the 'LogOn As' setting to use the lawson AD account resolved the issue. I'd prefer not to use the lawson account, but I'm not sure what type, rights, etc. of an account I need to set up. ...

I have set my 'Maintain Parameters' screen to 'Use Crystal Parameter Page'. Also, I have set my data settings to 'Use Report Data Source' as the Override DataSource and also put in the password.

Hi, I published a report to LBI test with 3 dynamic parameters. When I open the report in LBI TEST, the parameters page pops up, and displyas the parameters as I would expect to see them...each one has a box on the left. You can click on the data field you want and bring them over the the box on the right. When my co-worker runs the report, the data fields do not appear in the left boxes, it's just blank. She can manually type in the options on the left and bring them to the right, but I don...
