Sometimes  you will get this notice: PR140 is Currently Running (Invalid Parameters) may occur even when no PR140 job is waiting for recovery.

To fix this issue, look in the LSF database and check for a run flag below.

Check PRSYSTEM field PR140_RUN_FLG is R (blank it out or find out why the record is bad).

Also check PRMONITOR (LP00.1) to see if a run flag is flipped there as well. Fix if needed.

Then re-run PR132 and PR140 again.

Above is an example of a R (run flag), clear this field and re-run PR132 and PR140. This should resolve everything.

Follow these steps to hardcode fields in Lawson Design Studio.

Changing a changeable, drillable field

To a hardcoded field

In your organization’s Design Studio: https://lawson.yourDomain.net/lawson/studio/

Go to Source and find the field line you want to change and change the following below:

Change tp=”Text” to tp=”Out”

Remember that whenever you customize a Lawson form like HR11, you’re taking a snapshot of that form and potentially making it incompatible with future official Infor patches. In addition to this, you also risk Infor not supporting issues with that form assuming you don’t have a dedicated Lawson team such as Nogalis to support you.

Description:

Error when accessing a form in Lawson Portal
” An Error occurred outside of IOS while accessing Lawson Security” then “No Programs or bookmarks were found for ‘<token>‘.”

You may find this stack trace in the lase_server_x_x.log and ios.log files:

Stack Trace : com.lawson.lawsec.author.runtime.LawsonSecurityException:Exception while checking security on token <FIELD-NAME> for user <username>. Message: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: “MISSING” is not defined. (<RuleAttribute>#1)
Stack Trace : org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: “MISSING” is not defined. (<RuleAttribute>#1)
 

Resolution:

This message in the ios.log file indicates the security server (LASE process that runs) lost its connection to the ldap instance where the rules are stored for Lawson Security.

Run a User Security Report for the application profile in question. Within that report, look for the word MISSING on the right hand side of the report where the ruleText is listed.
Most of the time, when this error is presented, you can use the Lawson Security Administrator (LSA) tool to fix the issue without doing a full restart of the Lawson related services.

If you do see the word MISSING, do the following from within the LSA tool:

1. Click on “Server Management”
2. Click on “Clear Cache”
3. Go open a brand new browser session.
4. Log into Infor Lawson for Portal as a “Portal Administrator” and run the “Clear IOS Cache” option.
5. Ask one of the users to open a new browser session, not a new TAB within an existing browser, then duplicate the issue.
