I am adding users from Processflow using the Resource Update Activity Node. The users are being added to LSF9 Security. The RM Information is added correctly. The Identities information is added correctly. The Lawson Environment Information is not added. The user cannot log into Portal until a security administrator goes to the user record in Lawson Security Administrator and adds the Lawson Environment Information. Is this correct behavior or should I be able to fully add the user form the Resource Update Activity Node?

I created a similar process flow that adds users with the Resource Update Activity Node.
You cannot fully add the user from only the Resource Update Activity Node. In addition to using process flow to add an RM record, LSF9 Security record, and identities, the Lawson Security Administrator must also manually add the user record in the Lawson environment.

Yes. I discovered that there are tables in the GEN Database that need too be populated. This is done by the third screen when adding users in Lawson Security Administrator. Since I am only mass adding ESS users that don't need Batch Access, there are just two tables that need updating(USERINFO & R_USER). I updated those from the Processflow with SQL commands. So, now my flow fully adds the ESS users automatically.

Actually if you're just adding ESS users (assuming you're on 9.0.1) you don't need the Environment Variables. You can create a single OS identity for all ESS users and then you assign it to the Privileged Identity in the security administrator. There should be an ONLINE identity for your OS identity which you can fill in so that none of your ESS uses need to have one. That lets you do user creation completely with the Resource Update node.

Thanks for the info. I had some vague recollection of the ONLINE Identity, but I didn't realize you could use it for this. I seems this is specifically what Lawson would have created for.

I'm working on a process flow to do the add of users from our Active Directory. I think the adding of users is working, but am struggling to understand how to add Identities. Would anyone care to share an existing flow that sets the environment and adds identities?

Thanks in advance.

The flow to add ESS users sounds very interesting. That is something that I'm needing. Could you email me a copy of that flow? Thanks!

My challenge is probably the simplest for everyone...how the heck do you feed the file into process flow to be read. That part I cannot seem to master.

You have to be using process flow "integrator" and use the file activity to read the file or fileclient/scanfileclient to trigger the flow.
