DBREORG ISSUE(S):

During the ACTIVATE mode if it stops at dbreorg, this is likely do to activity in DB (“database in use”) or “No such file or directory” Perform the following:

On the LSF Server

Window Services:  Stop the IBMWASXXService – LSFAPP – This prevents users from accessing Portal

Window Services:  Stop Lawson.insightEnvironment “PRODLINE” –  stops LID to disconnect LID users

Task Manager:  End all java processes

Windows Services:  Start Lawson.insightEnvironment “PRODLINE” – starts LID

In LID, run the reorg manually:  dbreorg PRODLINE

Run the ACTIVATE step again
