We just did a skip upgrade from 7.2 to 9.0.0.4 on our Iseries.  The users are saying that jobs are running much longer.  I have done the various steps for tuning that Lawson recommends but the users still are experiencing delays.  Small jobs that used to take 2 minutes now take 8 minutes.  Does anyone have any ideas on what to try

We are being told by GSC that people who use paint screens in 9.0.1 need to be able to run IOSCacheRefresh by themselves.  Since this utility is (if I understand things correctly) only available to those that are designated with PortalAdmin=Yes. Is there a way a non-PortalAdmin can run this utility/servlet Thanks much, -Greg

We are a Windows shop and would like to know if anyone has gone to 64 bit 9.1 apps and environment.  What problems did you face both with the install and daily operations and what are your thoughts about it.. Given a chance would you do it again

We have just encountered a problem that we've never experienced before.  We make a change to a program, compile it, the change works.  Same programmer makes another change, and compiles, and though the.gnt file appears to have been updated, the program change is not effective.  That programmer can compile it 20 times, and it will not make a difference.  A different programmer can compile it, and then the new code does show up.  But then for further changes, another programmer must do the compile...

Do any of you have tricks to deciphering the weekly email patch notifications These things are horribly bad. Can Lawson not afford the salary of a document specialist Seriously, I'm trying to piece together the bits from the notification into a document I can hand to the leader of the small team using Lawson so that they can decide what's critical for day to day operations. Anyone have any tips and/or guidelines to making better sense of these weekly emails

Obviously there is arguably gain by the possibility to splitting the tables for a production product line across multiple file groups - and potentially across multiple LUNs if SAN is used. The follow on questions and feedback desired from anyone who has done this is: 1. What was the criteria used for the division of the tables - high usage high volume of data both some other criteria 2. How many file groups did you utilize 3. Was the gain in performance justifiable for the effort needed ...

We have moved servers and for some reason Pflow is pointing to the old server. We have changed all the config files in servers.pl and RD00, WF00, logan.env and still when try to start pflow it says can't start because already running on the other server host name. Any Ideas

Greetings, We are attempting to install TDS 6.2 (previous version is 6.0).  The install completes okay but when we attemtp to login to the Security Admin after the fact we get the error:   Administrator is Not Authorized - Access Denied.   I can login to JExplorer and review all the security data and it looks to be okay so it is not a problem with the user not having access to the ADM profile.  Any ideas why this is occuring. Cheers, Matt

Has anyone found a better way of applying the CTPs for Lawson 9.0.0.4, Iseries.  Applying each patch sequentially takes too long, specially for small shop like ours.  Thanks!

Can someone point me in a direction to locate directions on how to update the following   Domain Controller Active directory A different Ldap Bind   Note the IP address will not be changing Any help would be greatly appreciated

I use HP's UPD and noticed that the users would get an error [Bad File Status 9065 On File PRINT-FILE] when running a job for second time.  Lawson's KB 5200220 was the key. To fix it I updated the UPD to v5.0.3 and it seems to have resolved the print handle not releasing the file. It turns out to be a known issue with HP: CR2833: File handle not released on HPMUPxxx.BIN specific to UPD release version, which include filenames HPMUP081.bin, HPMUP083.bin, HPMUP084.bin and HPMUP091.bin. Issue wa...

Is it necessary to run other module purges if you run the GL300  Our GLTRANS table is getting large enough where IT is asking about the possibility of purging/archiving it, but no mention has been made of purging/archiving any other module.  Anyone care to share experiences not purging/archiving all modules at once, or about carving out information without uing Lawson-based programs   Thank you, Forum.

We're getting ready to upgrade our iSeries to V6R1 from V5R4.  We run 9.0.0.4 apps and 9.0.0.5 environment.  Anybody done this and are there any gotchas we should be aware of

Hi everyone, We are installing TDS IBM LDAP for LSF9. As we have many Env's, we must have multiple LDAP instances. We have created a second Instance ( the first one was created and started successfully) with idsxinst. The instance was created successfully but it fails to start. However, the related DB2 db is started as well as the admin server. We got this error in db2cli.log : ' 2010-01-21-14:56:08.native retcode = -1652; state = '     '; message = 'SQL1652N  File I/O error occurred. '...

Does anyone know if you are able to archive Lawson data from a specific date  I see the purge programs that are in Lawson, but we want to archive data off and create a separate product line as 'read only'. Thanks, Joe

We are upgrading using win 2008 and to 9.0.1 enviro & apps, but the testers have experienced major slowness. We've upgraded a few to IE7 and the problem is solved. In lieu of upgrading everyone to IE7 is there hope that our system would be tweaked to work with IE6 w/o being so slow

We are getting the error message ' Unable to open transaction process program.' Has anyone encountered this message The users were able to login but could not run any inquiries, jobs, or processes. Thanks,

We've got an environment (AIX) where there's some custom UPDATE programs. I'm finding out by the ladb.log the following types of errors: COraDBConnection::GetServerOptions(1) Cannot access v$parameter. Using default db_block_size. Run $GENDIR/oracle/grant_law_perms.sql using SQL*Plus. COraDBConnection::GetServerOptions(3) Cannot access v$parameter. Using default compatible value.

Any Lawson installations that use/have attempted to use TWS as a job scheduler instead of Lawson delivered recdef  Would you be willing to share your experience

We recently upgraded our applications to 9.01 and created a new LPAR to run apps and MSCM. During our upgrade at Go-live the MSCM data was not validated prior to users beginning to work. We have one days transactions that were completed before the issue was caught. We backed up the days work and can access the signatures, counts, etc via odbc connection but want to merge the signatures back into the current production. Has anyone had luck doing such a project

We are an iSeries (V5R4) shop and use Tivoli Directory Services 5.2  ... which is no longer a supported product. So, we must upgrade to the latest Tivoli product. We are not iSeries techies, per se (our datacenter is outsourced) and we have no on-site technical support to speak of. We could use any help/guidance regarding obtaining the product /doing the upgrade/ or words of advise and/or encouragement. Lawson told us to 'contact their field services group'. Gee, thanks!

Here's a CL program and commands I wrote a year ago that I think would be useful for anyone managing a v9 environment on the IBM i. I haven't seen a similar program so I thought I would share it here for anyone to use. The program starts, stops and restarts everything related to v9 Lawson using the commands STRLAW, ENDLAW and RSTLAW. Each command has the option to restart each portion of Lawson individually and submit the job to batch. I wrote the program to handle two installs of Lawson bec...

I just completed an environment install on a new production server.  Environment 9.0.1.5 running on Windows Server 2008 and IBM WebSphere 7.0 with fix pack 7.  I've deployed the ear files to WebSphere and restarted the server.  I am unable to complete any of the Lawson Security smoke tests.  My browser does not respond to any requests on port 80.  I followed the instructions of KB article 557092, but my SSO logs do not report any errors (just normal start-up and shut-down entries). This is ac...
