Updating Lawson Database Tables to match Custom Form field changes

Articles, Frontpage Article, News

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.
