Has anyone found a way to add and run custom scripts via portal? We are upgrading (hopefully)from a LID environement to a Portal environment and we have many custom scripts and need the ability to add/delete and run these scripts. I know Lawson does not officially support this, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to get it to work in a similar manner to the way it works in LID today?
Thanks for any help provided.

I asked this question of Lawson, and was told that you can convert the script to a batch program by adding some code to a generic batch program. This is what Lawson sent to us. We were able to have a programmer convert a couple of our scripts successfully with this method.
Here is the lines you need to add to a generic batch program in 4GL.
(this goes in your local PD file)
in the Start section
100-Start
Move "/example/script/path/scriptname"
TO WS-CONVERT-SCRIPT.
CALL "system" using WS-CONVERT-SCRIPT.
Thats all you need to do, this will run one script, so you would need to create different programs for each script. The nice thing about this, is since its a generic batch program you can schedule it to run as a recurring job if you need to do so in Lawson.

Another take on the same idea would be to make a parameter of which script to run and build it into the working storage. So you have 1 generic batch program to run unix scripts and simply enter the script as a parameter.

Thanks Kay, we'll try this and see if we can get it to work.

Thanks to you also. I am waiting to here from my programming friends as to which of these works best for our situation.

Another option, if all you're doing is executing a script, you could just call the script directly from a Design Studio page using JavaScript:
var w = window.open("http://<webserver>/my-cgi/test.sh")
Your Design Studio page could be created with all of the fields and validation to replace the user form.
Make sure /my-cgi/ is set up to execute and be authenticated like /cgi-lawson/, and test.sh contains:
echo Content-type: text/plain
Not an ideal solution, but at least another alternative.

apparently you can execute a cmd on a successful log in via. using lawterminal in a bookmark in 8.1 env using utility/lawterminal.htm?service=onyx&command=
, has anyone been able to do something like this in 8.0.3 where when the user log's into lawterminal it forces them into the script (interactive) or a user form, or form transfer menu. I could do it via a .profile I guess on the unix side but was looking to add it via. the portal bookmark.
