Hello, I am learning the ropes with LBI and have found this forum to be most valuable.  We have some VPs and Directors who insist on seeing the detail for their cost centers on back office RW100, GL291, AP275 and Crystal using the MM280.rpt as data source.  Some of these reports are over 1000 pages.  What options do I have in LBI to present a large report to a user  I'm just learning the concepts of publications, instances, and historical reports.  Any ideas will be most appreciated....

The person who created and published many of our LBI reports has left and she is the report owner on many of our LBI reports.  Is there an easy way to get a list of all of the reports she owns and do a mass reassignment to another owner rather then haveing to reassign the owner one report at a time. Thanks Kate

I've just published a Crystal Report into Lawson LBI, and receive the following error when I view it: Invalid table number. CR Labor Utilization - Monthly {1D97554B-8470-4553-A3C3-D4B42702C5B1}.rpt The report runs fine in Crystal.

In our websphere install of LBI we get these vague errors Error Getting Report Data Fields Error Getting Report Data Fields Error Getting Report Data Fields Error Getting Report Data Fields What does this mean

I need a quick lesson in invoices - particularly if they have a GLTRANS that says summarized transaction.  I need to provide the details of the summarized transaction. So if a GLTRANS  has system code of AP, System is AP, lets say the summarzied transaction is for $5000.00.  And there is an invoice number attached of 2009.  How can I get the $5000.00 broken down I have GLTRANS joined to APDISTRIB and find the invoice there.  I also have APPAYMENT attached to APDISTRIB and find some info...

Is it possible to add a bookmark to the portal to point to a report published in LBI  I have a couple of  Employee Expense reports that my travel audit group needs but I don't want to create a dashboard for just a few reports. Thanks Kate

I would like to take a large text-based report from an AR/ADT system and send it through LBI for breaking apart to different recipients much like a bursted Lawson back-office report. The catch is this report is not tagged and is from a foreign system.  I'm having trouble determining if Crystal Reports server can do this.  If so, does the one from Lawson do this I'm desparately trying to consolidate report viewing to one portal, the Lawson LBI portal.  Originally I was interested in Ascend...

I am a very novice sql user who really just trys different things until it works not really knowing why. So when I was asked to create a query that gives basic employee data with a count of active dependants I created the following query that works in Toad and in the crystal designer but  when I publish it to LBI it doesn't recognize the datasource. is there a different way to write it so it will accomplish the same thing and be published to LBI SELECT a.employee, TRIM(a.LAST_NAME)||', '||T...

I need to develop a query selecting PO number, vendor, Vendor name, user id, before and after images and PO Audit Update Date where a PO Change has resulted in a net increase of over $25,000 from the previous PO total amount or in the case where no previous revisions are made, the original total PO amount.  I've attempted this with POAUDIT, PURCHORDER, PO COMPANY, & APVENMAST however there is something amiss with the joins or selection criteria.  Also tried unsuccessfully with the addins. Th...

I  have a crystal report that is scheduled  in LBI , exported to excel and emailed as an attachment to users.  The problem is that the excel file cannot be sorted by the users because of meged cells.  I beleive that if I could export using the export to excel data only the file could then be sorted but I don't see that option in LBI.  Is there a way to do this Thanks Kate

Set JAVA_HOME, LAW_JAVA_HOME, and PATH manually from command line but the installer appears to be referencing the user's home directory to validate the BC files are in place. Has anyone had any luck installing DSSO on a virtual machine

Has anyone seen this message before To give you an idea of what is going on in our environment here, we have a new install of LSF9 (running 8.0.3 apps) and it is functioning.  We are trying to implement the Crystal Enterprise Reporting piece and the message in the subject appears whenever we try to access CE Reporting within the Lawson Portal.  Myself nor my coworker have installed this particuliar application before and have had no instructions by which to do it, we are basically flying bli...

I am in the process of preparing to install LBI. I am wondering what's the pros and cons or if it's even feasible to put LBI in the environment server   I do notice by not putting LBI seperate, I can use SSOP instead of DSSO for user authentication. Any thought

If you want to match transactions say a summarized transaction with its corresponding payments - how do you do that If you have a summarized transaction fo $65,0000 and that is posted to the GL- it is the first line in the sequence of events.  There are two separate invoices that make up that $65000.  Invoice A is $13,000.  Invoice B is $52,000.  And the two combined make the $65k. How do you associate the Invoice with the Summarized transaction in the GL  Outside of showing a double ent...

I am using the following query in OLEDB to pull data for a report of HR demographic data. I have information in a user field (user field 98), when I attach the index EMPSET3 it is pulling data from another user field. Without the index the report is pulling the proper data, just running a little longer than I would like. Has anyone seen this issue before dmeROD=PROD&FILE=EMPLOYEE&FIELD=EMP-STATUS;EMPLOYEE;FULL-NAME;FTE-TOTAL;STAND-HOURS;EXEMPT-EMP;SHIFT;SUPERVISOR;SUPERVISOR-IND;COMPANY;D...

Is there a better way to get the cash code (they require the report run by cash code parameter) than to join on GLTRANS.COMPANY = CBCPYCASH.COMPANY  I don't see any other possible join - maybe there is an in between table Thanks!

Could anyone help me take a look at my report and point me in the right way
