  • Bil We are using LSF 9 on Windows with ADAM as our LDAP provider. We have the LDAPBIND set up and working correctly for Lawson. We are updating our active directory schema and need to specify a different domain controller for our LDAP bind. When we do this, everything continues to work correctly in Lawson until we power off the old domain controller. Does anyone know where the old domain controller information would be stored other than in the ldapbind? Thanks.

  • Bolade Can anyone tell me how I can insert a new purchase order into lawson PO tables and receipt tables directly without using the Lawson PO programs. I am looking to interface purchase orders created from a different system into Lawson, along with subsequent changes (updates) so the POs could be used for invoice matching purposes. I'd like to avoid the Lawson Integrator and PO load/update programs entirely if possible. Thanks.

        Inforum 2012

        Following the acquisition by Infor, Lawson’s annual conference (CUE) has morphed into Inforum, which was held this past week in Denver. I didn’t attend, but I watched the video feeds of keynotes, read the executive/analyst briefings, and of course received my usual eyewitness reports and unsubstantiated rumors. In addition, I’ve included some article links at [...]

        Why I’m Bullish on Lawson/Infor

        Six months ago, I told you to stay tuned. I admit it. I had my doubts. Frankly, I was planning a new venture, and was ready to close the door on the LawsonGuru blog, LawsonGuru Letter, and LawsonGuru.com. So what changed my mind? Scrooge No More I know it’s cheesy. It’s my favorite Christmas movie. [...]
