Hi All,
What i'am looking for is, if there are any tables where configuration settings are stored in any table?
My objective is to detect any changes made to Lawson configuration settings which will imact on process such as, Accounts Payable, Procurement etc.
Example:- 1) changes made to any of the invoice verification tolerance limit attributes.
Thanks,
Roger French

Hello,
You can discover and examine the particular application database tables which hold the 'configuration' settings you are looking for by doing some analysis of the specific Lawson programs which you are using to enter the "configuration" and setup settings of AP, GL, AR and every other Lawson S3 application.
One real quick way I have used often is to use the
dburf
command in LID.
Example: dburf
dburf PROD AP AP00
That will list the tables which are not only updated/changed but referenced by the AP00.1, AP00.2, etc. programs. It will also list some descriptive detail about each program.
The dburf command is only one command. I use it when the need arises. It works for me.
Others may have other ways of getting the information. After awhile when you become more and more familiar with the application and the database tables, it will become more familiar to you.

As I mentioned you will need a listing of the tables which are updated by whatever program you are using.
From that listing, you need to do the analysis of what specific tables are updated when you add/change/delete any data for your "configuration". When I say "analysis" just check the appropriate tables before and after you add a "configuration" for any changes or when a record is added/changed. It's really not that difficult. It helps to have a tool (add ins, sql, oracle, etc) to check your database tables. You should start building your own repository of knowledge once you find out the information you're looking for.
There are several documents on inforxtreme.com which you can search for the tables too. I don't know if there is a specific document which lists exactly what you are looking for right off the bat.

Although this doesn't answer your question about just the config tables....
What I've done here is to create web pages from the dbdoc and dburf output for the whole nine yards... I've then linked it under the '?' as one of our menu items.
Allows faster searching, and is a godsend for the report writers.
Attached, please find a crude Unix script to allow you to do the same for your site.
You'll just need to come up with an index.htm page to hook all of it together.
