We are about to embark upon our first Lawson MSP (going from MSP5 to 6) on HR/GL 8.1 in Windows environment and I wanted to know if anyone has done this and can advise of the complexity and time required to pull this off.

I need to run a user report to show the data from the third tab: Lawson Environment Information.  Is there a way to do this through Lawson

Having trouble during installation of LSF 9, when configuring resource management, we run into this error: User cn=root,o=Test,c=US couldn't write an object of type organization within o=Test,c=US on your server.  This may be due to the fact that the Possible Superiors list of the object type 'Organization' does not include the object type of your o=Test,c=US entry The connection information to ADAM/LDAP seems to be correct, but for some reason Lawson isn't able to talk correctly to it.   ...

I need to change the DB that one of our test productlines points to. Both productlines are the same version and on the same env version but are on different servers, i.e.Lawtest and Lawprod. I know I need to change the MICROSOFT file to point to the new DB. Is that the only place I need to make a change Thanks!

We are on PARISC and going to itanium HP Unix Servers. So we have an old server with 900 and a new server with 901. I'm stuck with the DPP(Data promotion programs). They expect everything on the same server and I can't do that because of the hardware upgrade. How do we run the upgrade tools Will the 8.1 to 9.0.1 upgrade programs work Or should I have access to 900 to 901 upgrade tools instead of promotion tools on the Lawson website

We're migrating Lawson from HP Integrity 11.23 to HP Integrity 11iv3. This also means that we must use WebSphere 7.0, Tivoli 6.2, DB2 9.5, and Server Express 5.1. Currently we're running Tivoli 6.0, so my main question is...Is there an easy way to get everything out of Tivoli 6.0 and into a fresh Tivoli 6.2 install Can we simply backup the current DB2 database in TDS 6.0, and reload it into the DB2 database for TDS 6.2 TIA, Jeff

I am applying a CTP and noticed at the bottom there is a special note section that says I need to verify that other CTPs (and PTs!) have been applied. Is there an easy way to do this I've applied lots of CTPs before, but never noticed this section. Maybe I've just been lucky. This seems like this could be a neverending loop. How do you go about this verification process (And I'm not referring to simply checking the install.log - I would know if I had actually installed the CTP/pat...

Can someone tell me the steps for setting up HTTPS on Websphere I believe I have ssoconfig setup properly but I am still struggling to get this to work on my environment. I found steps on Lawson's site describing ssoconfig in detail but not Websphere. Any help would be appreciated. I requested this information from Lawson but was told I needed to talk to LPS. Thanks.

Hi all, Could someone give me the steps changing the IP address of a Lawson 9.0.1 app server. We're moving to a new building and the network admins are taking the opportunity to expand/remask the IP scheme. Thank you! -Randy

We are currently running the following Print Command in prtdef for a Lawson-defined printer: prtip ps1.mfldclin.org f1b p00512 nb Our ps1 print server is Windows 2003 The new ps3 print server that we are moving to is Windows 2008 R2. Simply changing ps1 to ps3 does not work, but it doesn't generate an error - I still receive the pop-up in Lawson indicating that the job printed. The sys admin is not seeing the job make it to the print server, so I'm guessing this is a problem on the La...

We are on 9.0.1.5 win 2008 64 bit. GSC advised that we should be scheduling regular reboots. I think it has to do with memory leaks or not a good 'clean up' process Before our latest upgrade...we did see an issue with job submit error every 20 or so days if we had not rebooted. We are not seeing that since moving to 9.0.1.5. Are others doing a regular reboot If so..how often Thanks for any info

We are looking to install an additional environment onto an existing server. I was just wondering if anyone can share their experiences concerning this. Is it best to have 2 instances of websphere / ihs or simply to add an addtional application server to the existing websphere instance. Any experiences / best practices are appreciated.

Does anyone have a good explanation or resource to define what Cloud computing is , and how it is sued by Lawosn

I am currently installing LSF 9.0, using ADAM as LDAP container. After I have entered all information in the 'Configuring Resource Management' screen, it complains with the error 'dn expected' and returns me to the DN of LDAP administator text box. Can someone please explain to me exactly what the installer is looking for, I am at a lose. Perhaps I need to configure someonething in the ADAM instance I build .... Thanks

I am currently attempting to run the bouncy castle regression tests on a UNIX platform. All my tests are coming back with the same error 'Exception in thread 'main' java.land.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/crypto/test/RegressionTest' ..... If anyone has had this issue and figured it out, please let me know. Thank you

We are currently running Lawson on HP Integrity blade servers running Unix (HP-UX 11i v2). I am not at all a Lawson guru but do know we are on Lawson LSF9 Financials, HR and Asset Management (Technology = 9.0.1.5.420, Application = 9.0.0.4). I am looking into the possiblity of upgrading to a VM version of HP-UX 11i v3 (Virtual Server Operating Environment). In that environment all applications, including Lawson, would have to be ran on a Virtual Machine since applications cannot run on the Virtu...

Hello, We have a Processflow that basically performs an approval on items ordered from our clinical system. The flow works fine, but occasionally the work unit has an error and it doesn't process. This happens a couple times a day, but the majority process just fine. I have included the error below. If anyone has an idea of what may have caused this I would be glad to hear it. I have contacted Lawson and they believe it has to do with our Websphere tuning and want me to engage Professional...

Our company is considering using a reverse proxy server to allow the Lawson Portal to be accessed from the web. This will avoid having any of the Lawson Servers inside the DMZ. Has anyone else tried this Any gotcha's to be aware of Thanks,

Hello- I know that Lawson DB's require a collation setting of Latin1_General_Bin. But does it matter what the actual server setting is or can you take the default in the installation MS SQL Server 2008 thanks

We are upgrading our LSF901 environment to ESP6, and that requires us to upgrade WebSphere from 6.1 to 7.0. I have been looking for documentation from Lawson and found almost nothing except a link to an IBM site, so I am curious about any recommendations from this group. We are currently planning to do the WebSphere upgrade, env service pack install, and MSP install in the same weekend, so I want to make sure I go about this in the right way. I see options of migration and coexistence for the...

I need to setup SSO for an LBI 9.0.4.1 install with LSF 9.0.1.5. I see that now we have to create a direct IOS service to do this. The documents state that the Websphere service needs to run as a named user. Has anyone done this before I have 3 total services one for the Node Agent one for the Cell manager and one for the application server. Do I need to set this account for all 3 When I try this the services start and then stop. I am running Websphere 7.0.0.9. on Windows 2008 sp2.

Need some assistance here, We're running Windows with a 9.0.0.x environment. I've installed another 9.0.1.5 environment on the same physical server as the 9.0.0.x environment. The UID of the 'lawson' user is different on the new environment versus the old environment. Should not they be the same UID if the environments are on the same physical server I don't want to add more users to the new environment until this issue is resolved. Has anyone have any guides or tips for inst...

I have recently installed another WAS instance on our UNIX box to support an additional environment. I seem to have a port issue now, because when I bring up the admin console for WAS INSTANCE 1 I see what exactly I am supposed to (correct application server / applications /etc). When I bring up WAS INSTANCE 2 ADMIN CONSOLE, I see application servers / applications for WAS INSTANCE 2. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any detailed instructions on what is necessary to add another lawson environment to an existing WAS instance. The following information is what Lawson sent me 'What you'll need to do is use the manageprofiles.sh command from WAS_HOME/Dmgr/bin directory to create a new Profile in the same instance of Websphere you already have. Once you have the second Profile created, you'll Add a node in the Webpshere Admin Console. This will Federate the node. At that point, you'll Add an...
