Sometimes when a batch job in GL goes into recovery, you may get the following exception or error on your screen: “OpenFixedRptMap Can not create LAWDIR/pdl/obj/RptMap”. Fear not, this is a quick and easy fix! To get past this screen, you will need to make sure that the batch user has full access to the LAWDIR/pdl/obj directory. This will dismiss the error for the batch recovery. After you confirm the batch user has full access, at this point you can then recover the batch job. You should not get the error again. You can look at the screenshot below for reference.

Login to portal an admin user.

Preferences >> User Options

Set Data Area to LOGAN and APPLY then OK

Go to form RD69.1 and click next to cycle through forms and if you see the one you’re looking for, look for the Isdefault flag. If it is set to 0, it means it’s not the default form when users search it.

If the Isdefault is set to 1, when users search PA17.1, they would be brought to the custom form above (but its set to 0 so it wouldn’t apply here).

Alternatively, users could still be using a custom form even if Isdefault is 0 if it was setup in a bookmark or favorites tab within portal.

Good luck!

When starting a program compile, sometimes you may encounter an error message such as the following: “rebldlrt.c – InProgress open: Permission denied”. You cannot proceed until you resolve the issue.

What this means is a file or record of the name is the culprit. You will need to address this file error in order to do a program compile. To resolve this error, you simply need to navigate to the LAWDIR/system and delete the file rebldtlrt.lkf.  Then you can retry the program compile. You shouldn’t come across the error again and your compile should run smoothly.

Is your organization planning a move from Infor Lawson to Infor Cloud Suite (FSM, HRT, and HRP)?

If so, make sure you take advantage of Infor’s Data Migration Factory (DMF).

The DMF till will be used to perform data mapping; pre-and post-migration steps; data verification, rationalization, and validation; and data testing.  There are 5 Data Migration Passes as part of this process: 3 test passes, 1 mock go-live pass, and 1 production pass.

Lawson S3 data will be migrated for current FY detail, and 2 prior FY summary or detail for Financial Data.  HR Talent will migrate 0-3 years of employee work assignment and service record history.  Payroll will migrate current calendar year history if the go-live if after January 1.

NOTE: if you need access to ALL of your historical data, Nogalis offers a cost-effective and comprehensive solution.  Check it out here!

You can find more detail about the DMF on Infor’s KB article 2213690.  Make sure you ask your Customer Success manager to include the DMF in your migration plan.  It is FREE for Infor customers migrating from S3 to Cloud Suite!!
