We are trying to create a process to update our employee photos that we pull from an external system and insert them into our Windows based Infor environment. We are using a process nearly identical to what was posted here (the only difference being we name the picture files with the employee name and id). When we run the command while logged on to the user as DOMAIN\lawson, we receive the following error: C:\>dbupdatelobs -I D:\PhotoUploads ltmtest Employee User : DOMAIN\lawson, LongName Laws...

I have a flow that uses the syscmd node to execute a bat file that contains the command: ssoconfig -S pwd D:\Data\SyncFile\Sync_File.xml.  This is supposed to perform a list based sync.  If I run the bat file from the command line on the server it works fine without any issues.  If I execute the bat file from IPA I get the following error: [code] com.lawson.lawsec.util.LawsonEventException:Required attribute SYNC_STATUS is missing from message (Error: No more tokens).  (and 468 additional...

Hi All,  hope somebody can help me out.   I am trying to under stand if we can use a generic login for use with the dataiterator.   We have a need to parse out a csv file that gets created from a Lawson job run.    The file is sitting in the print directory on the LSF Server and the dataiterator needs to access it.   The process is being run/tested on a work station in which the user is logged in with their own credentials, and they do not have access to the  print directory on the LSF server...

Hello - We are in process of implementing the requisition approvals. If approver does not perform the action in two working days it moves to next level. When I use the User Action Node, it includes the holidays like Sat and Sunday. If I create a requisition on Friday evening, it’s getting escalated to next level by Monday morning. How do I stop the timer during the weekend

HI, I have an IPA flow that runs MA126.  I have a Lawson transaction node set up to run a MA126 job I created and then I have a Webrun to execute it.  This runs sometimes.  The actual IPA runs every night and I see it in the Rich Client . I always get a success string found on the Webrun (I can see this in the log in Rich Client) and I have an on error STOP and notify set up on both the Lawson transaction node and the Webrun node.  It never stops and it never notifies me.  I run it once a day a...

Does anyone know the proper syntax in IPA to use the 'Move Workunits to History' function in the Rich Client

I just need some advice.  I thought I read somewhere that using a data iterator to read a file without using a file access or ftp node first will slow down the process.  I did a search but I can't find the original article.  We are fairly new to IPA, so I'm trying to create a 'Best Practice' document as I learn more.  The developer has a data iterator as the first node in the flow.  The data iterator is needed to read the file, but I suggested he add a file access node to the beginning so the fl...

Hello, I'm creating a new service for a PA52 action. I have the service name defined properly and the work unit is created. I decided I need an extra variable not provided by default. I created the variable in the service definition in the IPA rich client. However when the work unit is created the variable is not on the work unit data. I am not setting any value to it at the time the work unit is created, I planned to set the value in the flow, using the Landmark transaction node. Am I missing a...

Hope somebody can help me with this,  with the IPA FileAccessNode and the FTP Node. Can the FileAccessNode get list of files from a Unix server, from a specific directory. Also can the FTP Node be used to get/put files to a Unix server.   This is the first time I needed to access files in a Unix env.  I did define the userid/password in the configurations in  the infoRich client.    But this is the error I am seeing.   Error occurred while running the process Exception information: java.lan...

Background: reading in a batch file (gl records); using Lawson Txn to write record to table. write to table Successful move to next node and then to the end of the data iterator.   On Error: we want the record to go to a user action node.  However we want the rest of the file to continue processing. 1.

I'm building my first IPA process and would greatly appreciate some help with one of my last hurdles. I'm reading in a file of records and iterating through those records. The records could be of type A, B, or C. At the end I want to send 1, 2, or 3 emails, depending on whether the number of records of each type (A, B, C) is greater than zero. For example, if all the records are of type A, only send email from node A. However if records of all types exist then send an email from all three email ...

Does anyone know a java script to write the IPD console log to a local file   Log buffer statements By default, Infor Process Automation holds 10000 bytes of log file data in buffer memory before writing it to the log file. Administrators can change this setting in Infor Rich Client. Process developers can also add JavaScript statements for handling the buffer to a process. Following are the available statements: processlog.info: Send processing information currently in the buffer to t...

Hi All,  something new for us that came up,  Would anybody have an example they would like to share that would allow the parameters to be changed in a Multi-Step Job.  When we try to use the  IPA LwsnTxn node.   Seems to work fine for jobs that are not set up as multi-step.   Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Terry

I deleted my main config on one of my test databases. I was deleting some redundant properties when I accidentally clicked the wrong trash can. Not all is lost, but I'd rather not key everything in again from our development server.   Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. -Bryant

Hi there, PF newbie here. I have two workunits in status = processing, loading huge (10K records) files into Infor 10 via LawsonTxn node. There are three more workunits in status = ready, presumably waiting for system resources. Since the workunits have initiated the limitation isn't on the file channel receivers. Is there some sort of system setting that we can tweak to allow greater concurrency and any insights you might have into making such changes I found the thread linked below bu...

I know you can update the batch COBOL parameters of a job and run a job which contains a batch COBOL program in IPA.  I was asked if you could run a batch COBOL program and supply the parameters.

Anyone know how to cleanly uninstall Infor Process Designer  The install manual states you must uninstall it some situations, but doesn't say how Thanks.

I have a scheduled action for a process flow that is scheduled to run at 4am daily. As of last week it stopped running. I do not see any Work Units for it nor have I received an emails about errors. I haven't made any changes to the schedule. I have others that are working. Does anyone have any ideas why it would stop working

So my question isn't really anything to do with ProcessFlow, but I know there are a lot of people that follow this forum that are really knowledgeable about Lawson.....So.... When you login to portal, somehow it 'remembers' what productline you were in from the last time you were logged in. I'd like to know how it 'knows'.  It's nothing on the local machine (like a cookie) because it remembers even if I access portal from a different PC. It also doesn't appear to be anything in $LAWDIR/persis...
