How to Update Lawson Database
To update the database server that your Lawson instance is pointing to, you will need to modify the MICROSOFT (or ORACLE) files for each environment that you are updating. These files can be found at %LAWDIR%/DATAAREA/MICROSOFT. Simply change the server name for the DBSERVER value and bounce your Lawson services.
NOTE: This article assumes that your new database server utilizes the same credentials/authorization as the original database server.
Retiring Lawson, PeopleSoft, or Oracle? APIX archives the entire application — every table, every year, attachments and security included — into your own AWS account in about 30 days, so you can decommission the legacy system and keep full access to the history.
