App 8.1.0, Env 8.0.3, Oracle 9.2.0 We would like to copy the data only from our Production environment (productline 'PROD') to our Test environment (productline 'TEST'). These environments are on two separate UNIX servers. There is currently data in TEST, but it can & should be replaced with the PROD data. The goal is to give end-users a 'safe' environment in which they can create and test Crystal reports prior to moving into Production. We don't want to impact Production performance. We w...

We are planning on making our ESS/MSS application available to the outside world. Previously it has only been available on our intranet behind our firewall. We currently have the IIS web server, Websphere, SQL  and Lawson all on the same Windows 2003 server. I’m thinking we need to move IIS to the DMZ as a bare minimum. I'm not sure if we will want access to the applications by portal users as they have access via vpn already. Any suggestions appreciated.

I just completed an LDAP Bind using the guidance I found here:  http://www.slavo.biz/ldapbind.htm.  All of my company's users are in a single domain spread across multiple containers.  Prior to doing the LDAP bind, I ensured the Lawson-delivered accounts had already been set up in AD (lsadm, lsuser, lawson, and LAWDEV_System).  I completed the LDAP bind without error. Now for some reason my ordinary user accounts cannot log into Portal, although the Lawson user ID can (the boxes for user acco...

Here's a fun one: We're looking to implement Lawson single-sign-on.  To us, this means we are moving from LAUA to LSF security and consolidating logins.  Eventually, we want to bind to and external LDAP source, but that's down the road. We're starting with ESS, MSS and RSS logins (leaving app users for last).  Currently everyone has a base login that matches their network login.  If they're a manager they also have networkID-mss.  If they're a requester they have networkID-rss.  If they reques...

Our company has been bought and sold numerous times over the years.  Up until now we were able to keep our own domain and user accounts.  The new owners want us to be in there domain and to use there userid's.  We want to maintain our users id's and not have to remake 1300 accounts everytime we are sold.  Our production Lawson was bound in 9.0.0.x and we are currently on 9.0.1.8, so I don't want to use the old unbind.xml file and was trying know if anybody knows how to unbind from AD and just u...

Our organization was acquired by a much larger company which is moving us onto their systems. We are on Lawson applications v9.0.1 with HR Suite, Financials, and Procurement / Inventory / MSCM. The new company has their own Lawson system onto which we will be moving, we are expecting to move to their accounting system, and we have already moved onto their HR system. Our existing Lawson system is remotely hosted. What can we do to retain meaningful access to our data for historical retention req...

I'm trying to add a step to a job I set up for a user 7 years ago.  We've added an additional  unit and now trying to run AM220 (and other AM jobs) without overwriting the print file name since they all get copied to the same folder automatically... Please see the attachment and tell me where to add the Group to the end of the print and therefore pdf names like it appears to be doing in steps 1-17.

I'm trying to transfer jobs between users on the same environment.  There's way too many steps and intracate details to manually set them up...  so... jobdump -d -o Job -v UserName GHSNT\JoSchmo -v JobName AM220MTHLY| tee d:\tmp\jobdump.AM220MTHLY.dmp jobload -m UserName GHSNT\JoSchmo GHSNT\JoeCool d:\tmp\jobdump.AM220MTHLY.dmp Should return: Validation mode. Job UserName=GHSNT\JoeCool JobName=AM220MTHLY Then after that, I need to add a -c to the command to actually write to the data...

Following the times....Recently, we have undergone a drastic management turnover, many knowledgable personnel have retired or resigned, leaving us with minimal, inexperienced staff.  Once, we were our own independent department, now we are operating under IT. Our Systems Administrator and Project Manager are now gone and hopefully enjoying the 'good' life ; while we are trying our best to keep the ship sailing. Some of our staff are still learning as we go.  Now we are being asked by IT, who nee...

I am doing support for a client that is running Lawson environment 10.0.8 on a Windows server - on premise.  They do not know the Lawson password and cannot find it anywhere so we may need to change it.  I assume that it is changed in Active Directory but where all am I going to need to change the Lawson password in the system  I know that WAY back in the 8.0 and 9.0 days there were a lot of places where you had to change it.  In 10.0.8 on Windows, where all would I need to change the password...

I have a client that is running Lawson 10.0.8 on a Windows server and they are not on Lawson suport any longer.  They had a lot of network issues with the server and we finally have it back up and I can remote into it.  All of the Lawson services start with the exception of latm - laservstatus states that it is enabled but not started.  If I try to run 'startlatm' it returns this error:  There was an unexpected error 2 in the environment service while starting latm. There was a latm.dlck file...

For some of our core Infor/Lawson users, they have Zero client devices installed at their desks. It is my understanding that these devices boot from virtual images on a remote server. The users are then also logging into Citrix sessions to run InforOS. Some of these users are experiencing performance issues when working in InforOS. They are experiencing slowness and their sessions will also freeze with a spinning activity indicator.   For some of the users, this issue has been ...

On a daily basis, someone goes into the Job Schedule, enters the appropriate username, and searches for a multi-step job.  At that time, they right click on the job and select View Job to open and copy information from the log.  I know where the individual .prt files are stored for each of the 198 steps for this job.  I need to know where the job log that is being displayed so I can automate this process. Thanks in advance for any help.

Not all of the data in Lawson is in the Cloud.  We have been using Lawson to look at the data.  Since we are not maintaining Lawson, we need to know what to do with this data because security and network want Lawson sunset yet people still want to access the data.  What options do we have

We're migrating from AIX (Lawson v10.1.0.27.1853) to Windows (Lawson v10.1.0.32.2039) and the report output, specifically PO134 and WH130, does not look right. Courier 7 is the only size that fits without running off the page but it's so hard to read and the line spacing and left margin is different.  Any suggestions on how to increase redability without data running off the page

OK, we at Genesis Health System cannot be the only ones that are in this situation.  We're running most/all of our Lawson systems on 2012R2 and we've been getting confusing information about what will be supported and when.  First we get a notice from Infor that the on-prem version 10 will be supported until 2030.  Recently we've gotten a notice from them about being off of 2012R2 by October.  Which is it, or is it 'both'. What are other clients doing that are in this situation  We are runni...

I lost access to Infor Support when the new Concierge was rolled out.  We are changing the SMTP server for our non-production environments.  I need to know where it is in S3 and Landmark.  I would appreciate any information.

How and where do I create a distribution group to output a report to multiple print managers.

We have accepted the risk of not doing the 'mingle -> inforos' install because we are in the middle of workday implementaion. I was asked to task the effort/time/money required take up this work if this cant be avoided in future. A year ago, we have also went through an excercise of upgrading our LSF, Landmark(from 10 to 11) and inforos install by ourselves in one of our test environment but the issue we ran into was we were not able to setup LS as STS within Infor OS. We were told that we wo...

Hi. Hoping to get a bit of guidance on this maintenance task that we need to perform. We have an old On-Premise Legacy Lawson 10 environment (AIX platform) that is currently Federated and using ADFS for user authentication. We have since moved to the INFOR Single-Tenant Cloud Hybrid environment for Production (in 2021) but the old environment is still available in read-only mode for a small set of users to be able to log in and view historical Financial data as needed. Our IFS ADFS server ...

I have a very odd situation that Lawson portal won't work in Edge but it works in Chrome. Anyone know anything about this

Does anyone use Multi Factor Authentication when users are accessing S3 Portal from the internet/DMZ I have not been able to find any useful content on this issue, but I assume there are folks that there are some folks out there somewhere that utilize MFA for S3. Please advise if you have done so and are willing to share your experience and shed soe insight on the process. (...where you found useful information & documentation on the processpros, cons, any personal insight, etc...) Tha...

Hello!   We're changing our email addresses across the organization from .org to .gov.  Any tips or tricks in the S3 world that I need to know about to get this done   Thanks in advance,  Mike

We recently ran the AC120 as normal and somehow it kicked off 4 AC580 jobs and deleted all records from an entire activity group prior to 2016.  Does anyone know how this can happen  I tried recreating it in our test environment and only the AC120 ran, it did not kick off any AC580 jobs.  We have been doing the same procedure for years and years without issue.

The certificates on the windows boxes expired and have been updated.  But, its still redirecting to the old cert.  I didn't set-up ADFS.  But, I did find an article about adding the cert to ssoconfig on the Unix box.  We no longer have any implementation except prod, so I'm being very careful. This is the article I found.  https://docs.infor.com/lsf/10.0/en-us/lsfunixolh/default.htmlhelpcontent=wzb1548451456410.html Is the resolution to this problem to update the ADFS cert on the unix box...
