A. When using Lawson Security:

1. Open Lawson Security Administrator
2. Double Click on Profile Id “ENV”
3. Double Click Security Class “DBAccess”
4. Click “Add Rule” Button
5. Select Securable Types “Executables”

8. Click “Grant All Access” radio button
9. Click Apply Button.
10. Click on Profiles
11. Double Click on Profile Id “ENV”
12. Double Click Security Class “TranslTools”
13. Double click on Rule Object “TRANSLATE”
14. Right click Translation Tools and choose Select Next Level
15. If cnvtape doesn’t exist under TRANSLATE then you must add it through Tokendef – Environment Form IDs – Category: TRANSLATE – Title: Convert Tape File
16. Make sure radio button next to Grant All Access is checked
17. Click Apply Button
18. Double Click on Class Assignment>select the Role you want to assign the TranslTools Security Class to>Click Assign Security Classes Button>highlight TranslTools>click “>” Button>Click Close Button>Make sure that Role is assigned to user.

Once you have change users access, have the user run AP160 for Rerun Options – Recreate Tape=Y and the serial number of your tape to create the AP160ACHTAPE file which will be sent to the bank.

After a fresh install of Lawson, you may receive a “file not found” error in LID when adding a batch job.  Or, inquiring on certain forms might time out.  The batch job itself may show an error message alluding to the LUU utilities (such as invalid fstab option).  The issue is potentially an incorrect LAW_COBRTS_PATH.

To resolve, open a command line utility with the Lawson environment variables set.  Type command “laconfig”.  The configuration window pops open.

Select your environment.

On the environment tab, check the LAW_COBRTS_PATH.  If it is incorrect, fix it.

Reboot the server, or restart the services, and try your batch job again.
