Hello, I am doing some systems integration work for a client.  We're looking at provisioning accounts to Lawson.  Working with Lawson support I began looking at working directly with the ADAM tree, at their direction. However, after reading through several posts here it seems that loadusers may be a cleaner solution.  I wanted to ask a couple questions before proceeding down that road. Does loadusers support modifying of users  For example, does an xml file passed to loadusers overwrite exis...

Does anyone have a system they use to manage the Lawson updates We would appreciate any information that you could share. Thanks!

We are trying to upgrade from 9006 to 9008.  We originally installed LSF 9006 on 10/26/2008.  On 06/03/2009 we ran ldapbind so that we could authenticate our Lawson logins to AD.  Everything worked great.  We been installed LSF patches and everything works fine.  Now we are trying to install 9008 and the install fails: h2 note: security server started. h2 note: importing sso credential set. Fatal: [install-sec.pl] sso config failed Error: Fatal: [install-sec.pl] sso config failed This ...

We're looking at upgrading our hardware from a HP-UX box thats hitting EOL to a AIX 6.1 box.  We'll be upgrading from LSF 9.006 to 9.0.1.5 (or higher).  We're leaning towards leaving the Apps on 9.0.0.5 or upgrading to 9.0.0.7, we don't really want to go through the additional pain of upgrading to 9.0.1 apps at the same time.   We also have a LBI server on 9.0.3.0 that we plan on leaving alone unless we have to upgrade.  Anyone gone through a similar upgrade or made the switch to new hardware a...

We've been having mutiple users' screens freeze up in both AR and PO. They have to log off and back in to continue. I've reproduced the problem myself. For example PO20, PO30, RQ10, AR20, AR30... hangs up in po30.1 while receiving; hangs up whenever changing screens; when trying to release receiver; also happens when paging up & down.  hangs up at different stages, not always the same places.   Please help - the users have been having a terrible time.

Hi all, I've been reading through posts and looking through Lawson's Support site.  I'm interested to know what others are doing when it comes to patching and updating systems/apps.  Do you update to keep current Or do you wait until a patch is needed to fix an issue I'm sort of leaning towards the 'if it aint broke don't fix it' method. Thanks

After our backup domain controller was taken ofline we are unable to log into Portal. We are running LSF 9.004 and are bound to LDAP via ADAM. We have multiple endpoints and SSO is configured for https for login only. LDAPBIND reports we are pointing to our primary domain controller which is online. Windows and Lid login authentication works fine. Obviously something is still pointing at our backup DC. Anyone know where else we might look

Hi All We are  on LSF9.0.0.4, Apps 8.1 MSP5 on Win2003 Server with SQL2005 backend. We have multiple productlines (main producline for the organisation) and second productline for all our Joint Venture partners. I am looking for a way to have a separate logo on the top left based on the productline the user has signed into. i.e if they log onto the main producline it shows LOGO1, and if they logon (using another id)  to the second product line it shows LOGO2 Has anyone done anything similar ...

what would be he syntax to simply delete jobs and history for 1 specific user They have some huge jobs and will nit delete, I just need to clean them up for that user. Windows, and sql 2005 thanks

For security reasons I'm trying to hide certain xml tags in Portal, so for example when there is an error within Portal, what happens is that for some errors, the entire browser screen will display [CCDATA] tags with directory and file information.  We want to be able to hid these type of tags. Has anyone done this before using stylesheets or any other type of configuration, whether in Lawson or WebSphere Thanks, Roger

Our environment is 9.0.0.8 AIX and we have a new ADAM server that we need to migrate to as soon a possible due to performance issues with updates from the security client.  Our network team is having difficulty using the Windows backup from our test instance to restore to the new instance.  I'm not sure of the details, but they have asked me to check with the community to see if anyone has migrated to a new ADAM server.  Has anyone been through this  Thanks in advance. Brian

In Portal, when I click the Lawterminal Bookmark I get a string of numbers on my screen,and I have to press the Enter Key in order to get the operating system prompt. My Portal Bookmark is defined as:  utility/lawterminal.htmservice=LAWTEST90&command=LawTerminal.bat Inside my LawTerminal.bat Batch file, I've been trying to echo a carriage return without success. Has anyone else encountered this issue  How did you resolve it Gracias.

Is there anyone out there who has used LoadRunner against Lawson Portal for performance, load testing

I see a number of deactivated users in the Registry of UserMap. Should that be cleaned up once in awhile What would be the benefit/downside of remove users that are not actually active in AD and have no security classes assigned to them

Has anyone here done the upgrade from 6.0.2 to a newer version I need to upgrade our environments. Does any one have some instructions I been trying for a couple of days know and I can not get it right. Thanks.

Hi, We need to redo our ldap bind. The original bind was done as the lawson user which is not recommended. We need to change our lawson user password but can't until the bind is redone using a different user. I know lawson does not support clients doing their own ldapbind, but my understanding is that it is not very difficult. To those of you who have done it, are there any gotchyas I should be concerned with Is it difficult to revert to the original bind if necessary

I originally posted this in the Process Flow forum, but I think it belongs here. Has anyone installed the IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender Based on the System Requirements section of the Process Flow Conector Installation Guide, it is a system requirement for Process Flow Integrator I have been searching the IBM website for installation instructions but have yet to find any 'helpful' documentation. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, I have a few questions about DB2 being the Lawson database: 0) to migrate from Oracle to DB2 for Lawson, are there documented steps or best practices Or can one accomplish this using standard data migration tooling available outside Lawson. Recmmendations/experiences 1) can we have multiple DB2 databases (or multiple instances) serving as the repositories underneath or does Lawson 'require'/enforce 1 database or 1 instance only 2) has anyone used DB2's features like HA (high availa...

What is the best practice for Lawson LSF9 regarding production server recovery As part of a disaster recovery plan, I would see the re-implementation of the Lawson application from scrathc as a last resort, in case all else fails. What do other Lawson Administrator's do in planning for the eventuality of restoring the Lawson application in case of server failure I'm not referring to the database portion as that is fairly straight forward. I'm mainly interested in what others do with WebS...

Hello Forum, sorry another try, but wording my question in a different way. Does it matter to S3 apps if the database underneath has things like table compression turned on, or HADR (high availability clustering) turned on In theory it should not, but any experience is appreciated. Thansk Aakash

Lawson is working on a patch to eliminate the use of underscore in RM ID in LSA when we create a Lawson user id - even now it wont accept the underscore when you type it but you can copy and paste the ID's with underscore. This is going to impact the customers who are using underscore(_) on their user id's. Does any one aware of this patch What would happen for the customers who already has such RM id's - which can either come from 8.x migration or created by process flow rm update node....
