We've been presenting ESS from home with Microsoft's ISA server for a few years.&160; It was on 8.0.&160; It was no problem at all routing a public, secured site through to the ess application I built outside of the portal (it's just frames presenting the links) However, we've just upgraded to 9 and it's a problem.&160; The new ESS site I built is with iframes and works great in the network.&160; However, when trying to offer it up over the internet, the new Lawson security system throws ...

I couldn't find this specific question in any of the forums: Where would I find and change the default advanced search option, from the current 'Find' to 'Filter' I've gone through all of the .htm and .js files in portal\drill\, and was able to rotate where they were on the screen, but the Find stays as the default. Can someone guide me to what I'm overlooking Thanks, Brian

We are trying to add a customer drop down box in RQ10 to link the customer to the req. What are the steps I looked at BL120D for the field and BL.SR for the definition and select, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

We need to create a simple 'opt-in' screen that our self service users will click off to constent to some company defined terms and conditions. The data could either go to a Lawson or non Lawson data repository. I'm thinking putting it in a Lawson user field that I could tie directly to the employee would be the best. Does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to accomplish creating this screen - perhaps&160;a simple design studio form&160;I would also like to have the&160;ability&16...

On 8.03 env, when I created ISAM files, there used to be two files, the actual data file and another with an .idx extension.&160; I do not see the .idx files anymore on LSF9. Does anybody know how indexed files work now Is the index hidden in the file &160; Thanks. Ragu

We are part-way into our implementation, and we will soon&160;be starting&160;our custom development in 4GL.&160; Some of the development will be done in-house, and some will be done by Lawson developers.&160; Our infrastructure and security folks are (understandably)&160;concerned about giving users&160;unix accounts and rights&160;- particularly offshore developers.&160; However, we know that we will have to use LID to do what needs to be done. The developers would be happy with...

I am trying to simply hard-code some parameters on the Next review Report in MSS. It is using the ecl.js and I have made changes to the array selections - however still asking for drop down selection... I&160;am trying to get the Report Criteria to hard-code: &160;REPORT_CRITERIA_2,CR (which is 'Review' for a Manager) And DEFICIENCY_TYPE_0','CR' (which is 'Expired' for a Manager) Any ideas&160;Sounds easy - but I&160;must be screwing something up.Attaching a screen shot.

Is there anyway for me to capture the SQL&160;code that is executed by a given batch job program, maybe using Net Express or some other COBOL tool&160; I have a nightly batch program that is taking progressively longer and longer (up to 9 hours) and I would like to see exactly what the job is doing at the database level (SQL-Server 2005). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I made a change to the select drill-around for the Location Code field on AP10.2 by modifying the AP.SR file.&160; I added the ADDR1 and ADDR2 fields to the select (AP-VLO-S-0014).&160; This was followed by an srgen for AP as well as an scrgen for AP.&160; When bringing up the form in LID and then doing a select on the Location Code, the drill-around form shows my new fields as expected.&160; However, if I do the same thing in Portal, the new fields do not display.&160; I tried an IOS Cache...

Hi all, I haven't found much information on this subject.&160; However, I've found a table in the GEN database called VALLSTUSE that lists function codes and their translated values for each program in a productline.&160; However, the table lists ALL&160;function codes, even those at the line level.&160; There doesn't appear to be a unique identifier for which function codes are for the form and which are for objects of the form. What I'm trying to accomplish... I've written a C pr...

Hi Everyone, I think I've found a bug with the portal page designer and wanted to see if anyone has a workaround.&160; We're setting up an online screen that will be used for effort certification (modeled on the sample for CHOP that was published in the guru letter last year).&160; The page consists of two elements: 1) DME&160;query showing all uncertified effort records. 2) Formlet to the GM65.2 screen.

&160;Hello, I need to unlink a specific library and relink a new library to a specific program in 9.0.0.6 LSF9 AIX environment. It's been literally years since I've needed to do this. Can anyone refresh me on how to unlink an existing library and relink a program to a new library I've created using libdef &160;I don't see any options within pgmdef or libdef on how to do this, nor do I see some type of link lib command in $COBDIR/bin (or is it rebuild) Thanks in advance, Roger

We run Lawson software and are upgrading to a new version (9). We are trying to resolve a browser problem with IE7. Here is the issue: Ops puts a file 'gllogin_status.txt' in the Lawson index directory if the database is down. The js in index.html checks the document.referrer and then, if successful, it needs to redirect to the asp page (new_url) to check for the existence of 'gllogin_status.txt'. The browser shows the index.html in one browser, and then later the js code does a window.o...

Okay...&160;&160; I know that this is probably more than Lawson intends BUT.... I am hoping I could create a splash screen for ESS that would include FRAMES to pull in different delivered information - all on one screen&160; (I did not want to customize a page I just wanted to have a splas screen pull delivered bookmarks into one page.) I was hoping to replace the htm links below with&160;different ESS pages but I get an error saying that I can not display the page outside of lawson...&16...

We need to collect email address and cell phone numbers from employees and I don't see any way to do this natively in ESS on&160;V 8.03 apps.&160;I see email is in the Employee table but it looks like a user field will be needed for cell phone. Has anyone deployed a collection method such as this and if so by what method (DS form, custom program, etc.) Also, anyone know if these fields available in V 9.X of HR / ESS Thanks.
