I need to capture the id the user logged into Portal .  I've tried using the info from previous posts but with no luck.  I'd like to do this using javascript. Susan

LSF - 9 ESS/MSS wants the Service for an employee record in LSA setup as a single digit COMPANY number.  (for us that is 1) Process Flow Web Inbasket for HRUserAction nodes is requiring the COMPANY number to be 4 digits ...  I think it wants a string (for us that is '0001' If I set an Associate's login service as COMPANY number = 0001 associates can not access ESS/MSS and if I set their COMPANY number = 1 then they do not get things from process flow in their Web-Inbasket for approval....

Hello I have read KB 90197 and know that you have to use groups but I could have sworn that there was a way to send reports to users (a la LID) without setting up formal groups. Am I just crazy or is this possible  I was almost certain that I did this in Portal 8 about four years ago. Thanks.

We are testing the upgrade to LSF9 environment, and I noticed in Portal, that there is no longer an option to export a print manager file to a text format or a pdf format.  I only see CSV.  Does anyone know if it changed  Perhaps I just have to request that these options be turned on.  Thanks.

Is there any way to default the filter the drill around to show values that have an active status For example, on the HR11.1 when the Drill Around button for Process Level is pressed you see all process levels, active and inactive.  I wan't the end user to just see the active process levels because it is just clutter to have the inactive process levels in the list in this context.  We are going from 40 active process levels to 4 and we want to see the inactive ones as little as possible. Than...

How extensive should we be testing the IE 7 with lawson i.e. should we perform every function in GL/AP/PR/HR/PA/BN, etc., or do we merely need to go to a few pages and try out some actions What types of problems have people found with IE 7 We are on envir 8.0.3.7 and apps 8.1.  We also have Ess/Mss. Thanks for any assistance.

When I try to access my WB1 portal webserver it pulls the data from my WB2 webserver.  WB1 should be looking at DBase A and WB2 should be looking at DBase B.  Right now they both look at DBase B.  The only way I can see my DBase A is through LID. I have checked the Logan.env tables on both boxes and they are each pointed to the right databases.  This began after a SysAdmin copied WB2 over to WB1 due to a failure.  Where else can I check to correct the instance of the database this is pointing to...

Is it possible to determine the criteria used behind a particular Lawson report  More specifically, the AP221 Potential Duplicate Payments report.  What is criteria is used to determine whether or not an invoices gets flagged as a potential duplicate Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section.

We are making the switch from LID to Portal while we are going to 9.  Can someone tell me how to move through the HR Writer screens  In LID we went to HR65.1 and used F9 to keep moving through screens.  Have read the 'Getting started in portal' doc and find nothing.  I don't want to set up a hot key if there is already a key to keep moving.

In Lawson portal 3.x we were able to add the tag > to the default.xml file so that when a user logged into portail it displayed the product line they were using. How/where can this change be made in portal 9.x

Does anyone know if Lawson provides the capability to send a report to another users from Portal. We are on version 9.04 and it appears that Lawson did not provide that feature within the new release of Portal. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

We are trying to enable access to our lawson portal from outside our WAN.  We are using a third party appliance to facilitate the connection from outside our WAN to the portal server.  When we do this will all traffic, internal and external have to go through this third party appliance or can the external come through the third party appliance and the internal traffic just hit the portal server directly

Does anyone have a canned security class available specifically for ESS I called Lawson Support and they will not help without paying them, apparently they don't even have a canned class they can offer up. I found a document called 'Employee-Manager Self-Service Techincal Documentation'. It's detailed, but doesn't have all the dependancies documented. Meaning, I followed this document to the letter and stripped away all the layers. Started testing ESS and things were broken, so I had to put...

Does anybody out there have documentation as how to configure IIS Web server for LSF 9 I am looking for step by step installation guide as how to configure IIS web server after LSF 9 has been installed Thanks in advance.

When you run a portal update, do you need to run on both your lawson app server and lawson portal server running windows \ sql Was told By Lawson that if we run ENV upgrade to 9006 - we also must do the Portal upgrade.

I am new to LSF9 security - I have followed the administration document to add a user - The user can log successfully on to Portal but still has access to every screen.  I can't seem to find the problem.  I have created a protal role, a LSF9 security class, and a rule for the security calss and assigned it to the user - still not luck. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what I am doing wrong

Hello, In Portal 9 right next to the next button is a drop down menu for form actions. By default it is set to 'Fill Defaults' has anyone ever tried to switch this I would like to set it to 'Inquire' by default. Thanks

We have two (2) environments running on our test system.  One of the environments is running an 8.0.3 version of Self Service and another is running 9.0.  Does anyone know of a method I can utilize to copy Portal bookmarks from one environment to another.  Thanks in advance.

We have an issue where bringing up data in portal is slow...especially in HR. I had users test same thing using LID - dat inquires fine, no speed issues. Any ideas about why it would be slow

I am wondering if you are going to talk about LSF portal password expiration. I would like to know how you think it should work. Do you have any thoughts on the best way to control it Should we take advantage of websphere/ldap authentication if our ldap is setup for password criteria Or somehow update Lawson's code to display ldap messages Thanks

I realise this may be the wrong forum but I couldn't find one more suited to a JED/NED issue.  The problem in a nutshell is this: 1) We are on 8.03 Environment ESP7 in Windows. 2) Our apps are 7.2 x (don't ask!) 3) We cannot get JED/NED to work, and this has historically been an issue for us. Over time we have had issues such as tabs not working, screen displays incorrectly, JED not coming up ... etc.  Every time there's a java update, we struggle the same old JED issues again. Our lates...

We changed the Home page on the general tab for one of our portal roles to a DotNetNuke 'dashboard' view and removed all of the checks except for 'Allow use of My Shortcuts' on the general tab.  I want to push some bookmarks out to this portal role. I disabled the Update_Prompt in portalconfig and put the appropriate locks on the bookmarks, but the bookmarks are not loading unless I change their portal role to another *.xml not using the DotNetNuke.  If I open the use of Menus, the bookmars ...

We are running into an issue when trying to su - Has anyone run into this Is SU possible in Lawson Terminal Any help would be appreciated.

How should I remove the update button on the state w-4  We do not want people to update that on-line.

Greetings! I am extremely new to Lawson with absolutely no training or support documentation to refer to. I'm looking for some help on a couple of issues that I am having. By way of background, I am working with an environment that has been mirrored from a different domain & added to ours. I spent days finding & changing all the server references to get everything talking to the databases. We are running Lawson 8.0.1.3 on SQL Server 2000. 2 web servers & a database with a 4th server that is o...
