Updating Lawson Database Tables to match Custom Form field changes
If you need to update Lawson database tables to match custom form field changes, follow these steps:
First update your .scr forms, kndef, skndef fields if creating new columns. Updated your .sr file to include any additional fields if needed.
Then in dbdef <productline>
F6 (Define) >> Files and update the database table names
Once done, follow these procedures:
You can run a bldddbdict <productline>
Then dbreorg -l <productline> to see affected tables.
Then dbreorg <productline> to complete the dbreorg.
NOTE: If DBReorg fails, make sure websphere apps are down and java processes are not running, try and restart server then perform dbreorg again if needed.
Qcompile your file and clear cache/ios cache, then test changes.
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.
