I'm planning an article on RMI/Tomcat/Portal stability, and need your input. Specifically, I'm looking for: - How are global and/or 24x7 organizations dealing with having to restart RMI - What versions, ESPs, patches, settings, etc. seem to make it more stable - What software combinations and/or platforms (Tomcat/Apache, Tomcat/IIS, Websphere, etc. etc.) seem to perform the most reliably - If you've suffered from RMI instability, have you contacted Lawson ...

Env: 8.0.3.6 Apps: 8.0.3.7 Tomcat: 4.0.6 IIS: 6.0 IOS: 8.0.3.6 I'm configuring Processflow. All my servlets work except Profile. Profile was working, and I'm not sure why it is not now. (Yes I know...) Have stopped and started RMI and TOmcat. RMI is working fine as is Tomcat. I've already looked at ensuring IOS.jar are in sync. Also I looked at articles in the KB. I'm getting exceptions at: http:///servlet/Profile exception javax.serv...

Ok, I'll post again. I have seen some suggestions on how to configure the webserver or the client to have the Portal automatically logout after say 10 minitues of inactivity. I have seen some documents which describe how to do this in IIS 6.0 but I have tried the features there and it just don't work .... Anyways, Want to get some real-life suggestions on how to do this either with IIS 6.0 or something else. We want to do this on the server side if possible. We are trying to avoid...

Has anyone ever delved into making the portal passwords expire Lawson hasn't thought of this (yet).. or not that I know of. But here's the catch, when a ldap password expires, Lawson doesn't tell them that their password has expired, it just comes back with 'Invalid password or login id' if you have that feature enabled. Else it just comes back with the infamous red boxes. Can anyone provide any help or insite into this A way (or a wrapper) to go around the login page, sa...

Hi: Are there any performance guidelines for Lawson forms inportal. E.g. I want to know whats the average time (Indicative time range) the AP forms like AP20, AP10 would take for 'ADD' 'Change' etc. Where could I find them (Lawson 8.1 on Portal). Thanks!

In my RD30 record > Under 'More Information' tab > Additional Attributes > my PORTALROLE value = empdef.xml. Now, recently we reactivated the ESS tool for Open Enrollment preparation/testing, and users were reporting back that they were getting 'error - INITIALIZING' after logging in. You can click 'ok' and it goes away without affecting anything on the Portal. As a test on my acct - I removed the empdef.xml, and the error went away It did not change the layout or anything. I di...

Trying to find any other customers who may have other apps using Java SDK 1.5 or Java Plug In 1.5.

We are attempting to interface with the Lawson portal via some imaging software called FileDirector. They have a link program called Codeless Connector, which should link to various fields in the Lawson Portal. Instead of linking to individual fields, it wants to highlight the entire window in the Lawson portal. We have been told by the FileDirector developers that we need to turn on Control characters in the Lawson portal. Does anyone know if this is possible If so, how is this don...

Anyone know of a way to load portal bookmark security (via a program or anything else besides dumping/loading certain logan tables) What I am getting at is, when setting up access in Bookmark Manager, I want a way to export the access settings for my groups and then reimport them into another environment, without having to manually set up the access again in the new environment's Bookmark Manager. TIA, -Roger

I'd like to add Bookmark Group attributes as USERENV attributes. These bookmark group attributes can represent different bookmark groups a webuser can log on with and use. I'd ultimately like to link the Bookmark Group attributes to ID Types in LX00.2 Is this possible My goal is to allow webusers to change bookmark groups not by manual intervention via the portal admin, but by changing these new bookmark group attibutes for this user. apps:8.1 IOS: 8.0.3 Env: 8.0.3 OS: U...

Have a question.. On LX00.2 I associated a USERENV attribute to an ID Type (Employee) and assigned a default value on both LX00.1 and LX00.2. Fine. When I add a new user on RD30.1 with an ID Type of Employee, I would expect to see the PORTALROLE and the default value I assigned to it.. right On LX90.2 I see the Attribute in the list but there is no default value. I thought this was the purpose of LX00.2... or am I missing something Also on RD30.2, I only see the PRIMA...

I would like Portal to recongize custom Portal forms in /lawson/content/portal/pages folder, so I can run the command ' Set Custom Form PDL'.

In Portal, I've got 5 custom programs I can successfully search for in the Search box in Portal. The search results in the 5 custom programs displaying OK. My web user record has login field tied to a security class (called SECLASSA for example). SECLASSA does have full access to the custom programs.
