Should financial statements be built using RW100 and published to Crystal or built from scratch in Crystal to ensure the best performance  Are there additional considerations when determining the best tool to build financial statements – security, Reporting Services, Drill Around, etc.   My experience is dated, but at one point building financial statements pointing directly to tables was not best practice. I understand the limitations using the OLE DB connection to a RW100 data source, but...

Since Lawson no longer offers a Datamart solution what are most customers using

I'm attempting to run a report an keep getting this error 'Max processing time or Max records limit reached' Is there a setting in LBI that I can change to avoid this error

We are evaluating publishing Income Statements in LBI that are drillable to lower levels. Has anyone tried this I am wondering if sourcing from RW would be better or going directly to the Lawson tables.. also, not sure how drilling would work.

Hi, I have a few reports that open directly in Excel (Data Only) or PDF in LBI. The process to distribute these is to sava e copy, then they can be emailed as desired. My question is: Can the reports be set up not only to open directly in the chosen application (PDF, Excel, etc) but to also email them directly without having to save a copy first Wondering if there's just an option that needs to be selected in LBI

I currently run reports via Crystal XI - had initial issues with gathering the signature capture on the Crystal report - which is exported to PDF or Word documents. This is now all sorted - the issue was loading the drive to the printer within Citrix ( crystal ) However - my next issue with this is getting this report loaded onto LBI The report uploads via Crystal into LBI - but the OLE Object ( picture object ) which is where the signature file is located does not appear. Does LBI support ...

Hi, I published a report to LBI test with 3 dynamic parameters. When I open the report in LBI TEST, the parameters page pops up, and displyas the parameters as I would expect to see them...each one has a box on the left. You can click on the data field you want and bring them over the the box on the right. When my co-worker runs the report, the data fields do not appear in the left boxes, it's just blank. She can manually type in the options on the left and bring them to the right, but I don...

Hi, My LBI report has one dynamic parameter. The parameter comes from the DEDCODE table. I also have the DEDCODE_DESCRIPTION included in the parameter. When I run this report in LBI, the parameter screen prompts, but the drop down that displays each deduction code is missing.

Hello! Our users are able to clink on the Details link within a report. Where can i remove that access and allow them to only access the History link Thank you, Chris

Our RAS server, which resides on our LBI server, was configured so the 'LogOn As' setting was set to the LocalSystem account. All of our LBI cyrstal reports were running fine, but reports that were modified (even slightly) and redeployed were failing. Infor isolated the issue to the RAS server. Changing the 'LogOn As' setting to use the lawson AD account resolved the issue. I'd prefer not to use the lawson account, but I'm not sure what type, rights, etc. of an account I need to set up. ...

General Ledger report designed and functioning, except for account description field. How to properly join GLCHARTDTL to GLTRANS to obtain Account Description Or is there a more appropriate way to obtain the Account Description

The crazy thing is that the correct reports reappeared in LBI some time later when I logged back in. The only thing I did int the interim was create space to back up my Lawson Documents and look for posts on the issue. I was concerned that there was an issue with a corrupt Lawson Documents file and created a back up copy of the file but now I don't see any thing out of the ordinary. The LBI folder that should have been deleted is gone and all the other reports are displayed again in my LBI...

Hello I have an employee roster report that is created on a schedule each everning and creates an Excel spreadsheet available as a link through our self service web page. Users have stopped using the report because it can take from 30 seconds to a minute to open the report - there are about 8,500 lines in the report. On my machine, I have a mapping to the server where this report resides. If I go directly to the server folder and open the spreadsheet, it opens in a couple of seconds. ...

We are researching the possibility of Configuring an LBI Dashboard Content Module so that it executes a script or command line transaction. For example, we have a Dashboard link content module that executes a process flow, which in turn executes a SQL Server SSIS package on another server. We're trying to see if we can just save time by configure the running of a script or command line transaction to run the SSIS package directly. Anyone encounter or put something together similar to this Th...

Would anyone know from their experience what table contains the HR Department name

We just recently had our LBI SSL certificate expire and have had all kinds of issues updating it. We followed a user guide provided by Lawson but to no avail, then we hired consultants to help us out and they were unable to fix the problem. After several days of working with them, they were finally able to tell us that the issue lied with our certificate being 2048 bit instead of 1024. We switched the certificate out and are still unable to get the server to recognize the SSL certificate. ...
