Lawson Security: Data area has been suspended
Problem:
When I try to access or add a rule to a security class in the Lawson Security Administrator (LSA), I get the error message, “Data area has been suspended”. How do I resolve this issue?
Resolution:
This error usually occurs after running dbreorg without stopping your LSF WebSphere Application Server prior to the execution of dbreorg. This is a simple fix.
Basic steps to resolve this issue:
- First, we need to stop WebSphere
- Next, stop LSF
- From here, you must make sure that there are no java processes running. This is important so you won’t get the same error message again.
- After confirming, then you can re-start LSF
- Finally, start WebSphere again. You shouldn’t get the error message anymore.
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.
