Sometimes Lawson errors can be very cryptic and difficult to troubleshoot. Sometimes you will have a very specific error in the ios.log or other system logs, and a search on InforXtreme produces ZERO results. It can be quite frustrating! Don’t forget that you have another place to check for errors. Always remember to check your Windows Event Viewer for another “perspective” on the error. Sometimes a Google search or even InforXtreme search on the error text in Event Viewer will actually produce results where the log search didn’t. Some examples I have found are an error in the importdb script, which provided more information for an Infor ticket I had open, and a MicroFocus license manager error that led me to a KB and a download that solved some performance issues for us. So, the bottom line is, don’t forget to check server logs in addition to Lawson and WebSphere logs!

The Assignment node in IP Designer is pretty straightforward and simple to use, but it can also be very useful and flexible. The first step to using the assignment node is to create and initialize your variables in the start node properties.
The assignment node can be used to set simple variables. It can also be used for more complex assignments. Here is a simple assignment, created by clicking :
You can also use javascript and regular expressions in your assignment node to manipulate strings. This example uses a simple “if” statement to assign a variable (created by clicking ):
This example takes a line from a data iterator, splits it on the “,” , and removes unwanted characters using regular expressions. It assigns that string to the “impCompany” variable, which was created and initialized in the Start node.

Once you have done all your Infor work to create your files for submitting to IRS, the steps below will help you get your file submitted successfully. The final files are generated when you run the BN299.
An XML Reader Application is needed to validate the files. Altova XMLSpy application is a good program to use for this. Follow the steps in the above KB article to validate the files.
Once you make the changes that are noted in the XML Validator you will need to update the Checksum value in the Manifest.xml
Checksum verifies the integrity of the file. Download the utility FCIV. FCIV (File ChecksumIntegrity Verifier) is utility from Microsoft that computes (MD5 and SHA1) and verify Integrity of the File.
From the command prompt:
Browse to the location where your files and fciv.exe is located
Type program name + file name (ex. fciv.exe 1094C_Request_BB9LL_20160629T100009000Z.xml)
Press enter
The unique value should be placed in the ChecksumAugmentationNum tag in the Manifest.xml
You also will need to make sure the AttachmentByteSizeNum is correct. This can change when you make changes to the file.
