ERROR – Reorg control file reorg.cntl exists when trying to Activate a CTP

Problem:

You are having this issue: I’m getting a reorg error when trying to Activate a CTP

“ERROR – Reorg control file ‘D:/lawson/db/APPS10/reorg.cntl’ exists.  It appears the database is in the midst of a reorganization.  Please complete before Activating.”

 

Resolution:

Follow these steps to resolve the error.

1. In LID, run this command: dbreorg -d <Enter_Your_Productline_Here>
2. Once it completes, run the lawappinstall again:
   1. perl %GENDIR%/bin/lawappinstall activate <productline>
3. After this, run the verifymsf2000 to validate the dbdict and database are in sync:
   1. %gendir%/bin/Verifymsf2000 -u <your_lawson_user> -p <your_lawson_password> <your_productline>

This usually occurs when a reorg wasn’t completed previously on another CTP. Good luck!
