We are in implementation stages doing CRP. There are quite a few patches that we've held off on doing until after CRP. I've seen some comments that clients hesitate to install patches unless absolutely necessary - In general do most people install every patch that is out there or do they only install ones affecting issues that they've experienced I assumed as a new client that we'd want to keep on top of all fixes and therefore set the game plan to install every patch out there especiall...

I would like to query MS ADAM and export a list of fields. I'd like to start with exporting the username and email address of all users. Can anyone give me a jumpstart here. I can query using the LDAP browser tool, JExplorer without any problems. I have seen some examples using an LDAP query in vbscript which outputs to a text file, but I am unsure how to get something like this done in MS ADAM. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated... ./Richard

Since migrating from Env 8.03 to LSF 9.004 our LID users are reporting intermittent performance issues and brief hang-ups when switching screens and reviewing jobs results. I found something on th KB about name resolution and for kicks added an entry in the lawson server’s Hosts fil for IP to name resolution and also verified that Enabledbg is turned off in ladebug.cfg. Our LSF9 server is running on dual 2.4 Xeon processors, 12 GB RAM with Raid-5. Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2, WAS, MSSQL, IIS and ...

I did a search through the knowledgebase and couldn't find a way to do this. I need to write a report that will show  me the setup date of an account, and the last login date of the account. Can someone advise where I should start looking  I've gone through the report tool and I haven't found anything that will do this.   Thanks in advance!

NEED Oldtimer Lawson GURU HELP (version 7.33, 7.2) Lawson has stated that we can not journal on IFS, however, the only explanation that they can provide is that clients in the past have had an issue with 'print and jobs' We're in the middle of a data center migration and OS upgrade project with cut over next weekend We've had Mimex lib/objs journaling turned on for the last several weeks Turned on Mimex to journal IFS (with 2 minute delay); 28 Lawson Job Scheduler (recdef) ...

I'm playing around on a development server trying to get familiar with the process of standing up a new LSF9 environment prior to going to the upgrade class in a couple of weeks. I have ADAM installed on my server. When I installed ADAM, I just used the network credentials of the logged in user ('lawson') and during the installation. I created an application data area in my respository for Lawson's metadeta called 'o=Lawson,c=US'. I'm now running the installer for the Lawson Core Technolo...

Has anyone enabled their employee expense bookmarks in EMSS.   We are on 8.03 ISeries and use employee SEA for open enrollment, life events, time cards, etc.  We would like to look at using employee expense for our expense reports.  I have searched KB and Lawson websites and can not find any how tos, no idea what bookmarks to enable, does Lawson provide and expense 'form' etc.  We do not have AP, but I believe I read somewhere you could feed the expense reports directly into Payroll.  Any help ...

Using RMConvert, trying to convert Rm data from logan 803 to logan 90 I copied the logan803 dictioinary from source 803 environment to 90 target environment. Copied the logan MICROSOFT file from 803 system to LAWDIR\logan803. The MICROSOFT file points to the DB server of the 803 database server, not the 90 db server. WHen I run the perl rmconvert.pl metadata LOGAN803 > rmconvert.log Part of the log says LOGAN803\MXCATDEF... does not exist use dbcreate to create it. Um question, does the LO...

Is it possible to change the name of the environment in LSF9 (Windows) Using removelaw And/or laconfig Has anyone done this before In a nutshell, is it possible Wha'ts required -Roger

Is anyone using the Virtual Index feature  How did you select candidate indexes

Windows LSF9.0.0.3 In portal after logging in, the message: 'The Portal cannot load because the Profile service returned an error: An unknown error occurred, Please contact your system admin.' Well, I am the system admin.   I checked and reviewed KB Article 939906 and tried everything. Tried uninstalling the Websphere apps, reinstalling, regenerating the plugins, stopped/restarted websphere and the lawson environment. Checked the java.library.path (it does contain the library path to lajavar...

In LSF9, just wanted to confirm that using the bind method to authenticate passwords in multiple containers is NOT allowed. Example of the current LDAP (AD) that I want to bind to: CN=Chris Smith,OU=MIS,OU=ABB,DC=company,DC=net CN=iswadm,CN=Users,DC=company,DC=net CN=Chris Jet,OU=MIS,OU=ABB,DC=company,DC=net CN=Mark Power,OU=Sales,OU=ABB,DC=company,DC=net Users are in different containters, right Not all under the Users tree. So can ldapbind work in this example If so, how Thanks in ad...

To all, I just completed a fresh install of the LSF9 core technology on a test server.  As best I can determine, there were no errors generated.  ADAM is set up correctly, I can browse the LDAP repository with a freeware LDAP browser.  I've also installed and configured IBM WebSphere and HTTP server in accordance with the Lawson Core Technology Installation Guide, though I don't believe that has a bearing on this particular problem. My problem is with LAUA under LID.  For some reason, when I b...

Could someone please point me to some docs on setting up SSO using AD. We've done our upgrade from 7.2 to 9.0. We didn't do the SSO with AD during the upgrade, but we'd like to do it now. I couldn't find any docs on Lawson Support that describe the process. thanks.

I'm running the UG99 programs to upgrade from 8.1 to 9.0 apps. Windows env.LSF9.0.03 with 9.0 apps.   The UG95 is supposed to give the counts of unloaded/loaded. I see the UG990's ran to completion and there were of course records copied, but I don't see the counts listing on the UG95. The tables show, and the job logs show but the counts are not appearing.. they are blank. I have tried to rerun the jobs and still no counts. Am I missing something here Thanks, Roger

Java 1.4.2  The error also happens when trying to inquire on existing jobs parameter screens within portal. Inquire works fine ok no problems on online forms. LID works fine no problems.   I could not find anthing with the knowledgebase. I rebooted many times and still the error.

Hi I am a Java programmer and have written Java programs to query values from the LDAP (tivoli).  I now want to update several users email addresses in the LDAP. I know I can write a program to do this, but my question is, what might I break internal to the LDAP for Lawson's schema, if I update the email values outside of the RM tool Thanks in advance for your time Dean-O

Has anyone else been having persistant problems with permsmaint  The lastest one (verified by Lawson) is a problem where lines in ladirs.cfg with an asterisk are completely ignored, e.g. $LADBDIR/sec/* 666 lawson lawson But I've had other problems as well.  I'm considering writing a replacement because Lawson's utility has never seemed to work right for me.  We end up doing chmod 777's to get around problems but that hardly seems like a best practice.

All online screens are hanging in LID and Portal. Such as HR00, CU01, etc. I can do a drop down on fields and drill around, but when inquiring, changing or adding a record, the screen hangs (hourglassing). This happens in the application productline and LOGAN for any screen. Batch jobs do work ok and no problems there. I *can* do rngdbdump's no problems. I'm NOT using privileged ONLINE user. ladb.log says: Wed Aug 27 14:32:14 2008: [D:\LINTE\LSF93\law\train93\obj\CU01] GetDbAuthInfo() Cannot a...

Why would account created on a domain controller in the same Active Directory domain, but separate AD site not show up in LID  This does not happen all of the time.  The user is set with Check LS no, and is able to access the portal and navigate, but does not show up in lid. The username is only 17 characters long, including the domain and /. I have attempted laua -a at the command line also. any help would be great.

Has anyone done this Can it be done Your assistance and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Currently, when a employee is termed, we reset their password in Lawson and Active directory. This allows a supervisor to approve time records for direct reports without changing HR11 supervisor for the direct reports. After a month, they are removed from AD, but not from Lawson Security.  We currently have a large number of termed users in the Lawson Security Administrator using LAUA. I would like to move the active users to Lawson Security ('CheckLS' set to YES), and delete the remaining term...
