     Good morning all,

    I am pretty new with the lawson environment and I am getting used to it. Now I have been given a task which there has to be an easier way to do.

    We have a list of 454 employees whose employee and/or company numbers will be changing. As of right now the only safe way I know how to do this is manually doing it one at a time. So my question is if there is an easier and way faster way to do this.

    This week I needed to get a list of portal users and just did an ldif export from ADAM so I was wondering if an import of the new infomation would also work?

    Whatever information someone has I would appreciate it.

    Thanks.

      You can use loadusers with an XML file to re-populate their xxx_EMPLOYEE identity with the new company and employee.  Here's an article on using the loadusers utility: Converting LID/Portal Users for LSF9
      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

        Awesome thanks John. Now one more quick question, can i just load those changes or will I need to populate every field?

          There is a perl script that will convert the CSV file into the XML file which is needed for the lawson utility, loadusers.

            I created an XML file and I cant see anything wrong with it but everytime i try and load it, it just fails am I doing something wrong? 

            ?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
            XML>
            IDENTITIES>
            IDENTITY ID="bkey" SERVICE="dev9_Employee" COMPANY="2" EMPLOYEE="4343"/>
            /IDENTITIES>
            /XML>

            There is < in front of all of them but i could not paste the exact code here as it would appear blank

            loadusers -f a.xml
            Errors Encountered. Please check the log file for further details
