While researching why some test scenarios were failing for our personnel actions processflow (salary changes outside the min/max rates were not being identified correctly) I discovered that a field was being returned truncated from a PA52 read.  PA52_PCT_NEW_VALUE_1r1, which had the new rate of pay in it should have returned with a value of 11.1234 but instead would return 34.  It is being moved into EmpNewPayRate a double persistent variable.  Our failed test scripts were using whole number an...

Hi, we are experiencing an error with a PF when we attempt to unrelease a JE via a flow (DS 9.0.0.5). The code that we are trying to use to do this comes from a provided Lawson ProcessFlow solution and is unmodified (but not supported by Lawson). In the Lawson solution for Journal Entry Approval the final node when a JE is rejected unreleases the journal. The call to do this in the Lawson solution is:   _PDL=&_TKN=GL45.1&_EVT=CHG&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE&FC=Change&GLC-COMPANY=&GLC-FISCAL...

I am trying to reformat the Date_Stamp value to either AGS or DME so I can use it in a branch.  This is what I have in the Assign node, but it doesn't like it:  stamp=  getDateAGS(SQLQuery240_DATE_STAMP).    I have tried several functions but I can't seem to get it.  My ultimate goal is compare it again a date (either DME or AGS) for 7 days ago.  Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello anyone and everyone,   We are trying to change data on the WFWUQUEUE table via process flow.  We have a Webrun to call bpm/queueForm.do with a change method.  Some times this works fine, other times we get an error stating 'Must Inquire before doing a change'.  We have this same error with the webrun to bpm/processTransactionForm.do.   It seems as if once the queueForm program is in 'memory' then it works fine.  Has anyone else run into this type of error using a 'non-xml' version of a b...

We are upgrading to LSF9, and we have a couple of processflows that send emails to a user that created a record. We currently so an AGS call to the RD30 record based on the 'operator' to get the email address to use.  Now that the RD30 record does not exist, does anybody have any ideas on where the email address is or could be stored for this type of use

We have created a Capital Purchase processflow that allows managers and directors to submit their capital requests in RSS.  They can attach their electronic quotes by using the comments tab in RSS and attach a URL to the requisition button.  That works fine and I can retrieve the attachment in the inbasket.  The question I have, or what I am trying to do is copy that link from the requisition and attaching it to the  PO.  I have the webrun that will retrieve the attachment from the requisition, ...

I am sure this is really basic, but I can not figure it out. We had some processflows in 8.0.3 that we used the RD30 record to get an email address based on the operator ID.  Since the RD30 record no loner exists we decided that we would populate a user field on OE53 to hold the email address, however these user fields are not large enought to hold our entire email address, so we have only poupluated it with the persons name:  ie tracy.olson.  I have my processsflow pulling this piece from a qu...

We have users setup in RM that belongs to different groups like Manager, HRUsers etc. In RM admin tools we can see the group or groups a user belongs to. In Processflow RM node when using resource as resource type (lwsnRMResource) and selecting Group as the attribute, we can only see one group in the query. Is there a way to see all the groups that a user belongs to in processflow Thanks for any help. Sam lsf9 apps803

Hello, I am building a flow using the delivered Action Approve service.  In the flow I have a query to pull the manager code from the Employee table.  When I run the query via Designer with the 'Run on Server' not checked, all of the queries in the flow work.  However when I run on the server, or from PA52, I get the message: Error connecting to http://sferww02.corpo.rec...=CSV&DELIM=~&delim=~ with user PFADMIN Query string I thought that PFADMIN does not have security to run the query,...

Has anyone encountered this  We get an IE error in Portal when clicking on an inbasket link that we use for Process Flow.  It's the generic  'IE has encountered a problem and needs to close' error message.  After the error pops up it kicks you out of the portal and closes your window.  However, it works fine when we log in with the Lawson Admin account.  I happens from time to time then starts working again.  Any idea Thanks, Mike

Hello! Have a question...this is occuring in our test environment with one of our RSS flows (for expenses).

I have a ProcessFlow set up to read data from a file and create pending personnel actions.  I've included all of the PCT-FLD-NBR and PAT-NEW-VALUE fields along with the _HK value.  When I build the AGS call in ProcessFlow, cut and paste it from the ProcessFlow log and execute it through the browser, the personnel actions are added correctly.  However, when I run the ProcessFlow and the AGS call is executed through ProcessFlow, I receive the error 'New value must be spcaes because line has no ite...

I've written a process flow that uses a data iterator object to access a file specified by a variable. The process flow loops through several files and uploads the data into GLTRANSREL. The importdb portion, which comes after the dataiterator, of the flow uploads data from each file, but the data iterator, which uses the same variable to identify the file, pulls data from the same file on each loop. It is the first file that it encounters. Furthermore, the file seems to be locked by the process ...
