There are times when you may encounter the following error message, “Fld Error: Key Number Does Not Exist”. This can appear when attempting to compile a 4GL program in Lawson, it is possible that the key needs to be added to kndef.

Note that this error message will likely present itself in the XXXX.scr.err file.

To resolve this error, simply follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Login to LID
  2. Run command kndef to define the missing key
  3. cd LAWDIR/(productline)/sdlib
  4. rm *
  5. srgen (productline) (source)
  6. qcompile (productline) (source) (program)
  7. recompile any other invoked programs

Your error message should now disappear and the program should run normal.

Lawson Portal 404 Error

, ,

If you receive the error message in Lawson Portal “The Server has not found anything matching the requested URI”, check the WebSphere SystemOut.log for the message “Failed to load webapp: context root /* is already bound.”  This means that one of your WAS applications (most likely the default app) is configured to start before the Lawson IOS application.  To fix this, either delete the Default Application, or configure its startup behavior.  Go to WAS Console > Applications > Enterprise Applications.  Click on the Default Application then “Startup behavior.”  Change the startup order to some larger number so the Default Application will attempt to start last in the order.  Save the changes and synchronize the nodes.  Then, start your IOS application.

 

 

 

Customizing the Lawson Ribbon

, ,

Customizing the Lawson Ribbon can be a good idea for giving users a visual cue about which environment they are working in (see screenshot below).

 

Customizing the ribbon is as simple as changing one line of html code.  To update the ribbon image, you will need to open up the index.htm file at WEBDIR/lawson/portal/.  Next, navigate to the “topBanner” element and add a background image (you can use the “find” function to search for this faster if needed), setting the URL to the path where you saved your image (see below).

 

Save your changes and your ribbon will now be a custom view!

How to resolve the Lawson Fax Integrator error

, ,

Follow these simple steps on how to resolve the Lawson Fax Integrator error(s):

“There was an error connecting to the server” or “The remote server returned an error: (530) Not logged in” (see screenshot below)

To resolve either of these, first navigate to the Servers >> Lawson tab, then make sure you use valid credentials for the FTP user.

Next, Under the Servers >> Portal tab, make sure that you have valid Lawson user credentials. If not, then enter the correct information.

Finally, click Update after entering your credentials. This will resolve the 530 FTP invalid credentials error. That’s all there is to it!
