How to resolve Lawson ‘Distribution List Has Not Been Defined’ Error in jobdef

Articles, Frontpage Article, News

Summary: When setting up a Distribution group so other users can view the print manager of another user, typically a system user like lawson. You need to complete a very important step before being able to add it.

 

  1. In Jobdef when you try and set the distribution group you get the “Distribution List Has Not Been Defined” error (not displayed below, but it’s an example of it being set)
  2. To resolve, go to users environment info shown below in ISS (This can be done in LSA or ISS)
  3. M sure to add the distribution group to the environment info of the Lawson user (assuming you’re distributing a lawson job to other users).
  4. Open jobdef and add it now. NOTE: After adding to Jobdef, you can clear this field and it should still work.

 

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.
