Button on Lawson screen to SFTP files?

unknown

Has anyone heard of a way to add a button or link on a Lawson screen to SFTP files off site?  We are using Strata also and one of our consultants mentioned that she thought a customer had a button that transferred the files from within Lawson.  I haven't been able to find any way to setup something like this though.

There is a multi-step process to do this. I have some experience with it, let me briefly describe the process.

1) Set up a batch script that will do what you want. As long as it works in Windows or UNIX, you're on your way.

2) Once the batch script works, go into tokendef

3) Set up a User token that runs this batch script. You may want to create a new Category for this.

4) Once the batch script is accessible because it's been set up in a token, you have to go into Lawson Security

5) In the Environment profile, put the new user token into an appropriate security class.

6) Make sure that the user can access the User Token because they have access to it through a Role that's been assigned the proper Security Class.

7) Now that the user can get to the User Token, set up the token as a "button" in Smart Office (a link) or as a bookmark.

8) The real "fun" begins here. When running a User Token, it runs under a user's Windows account. Lawson Security can be a bit cranky when running User Tokens. You have to ensure that the user's Authorization entry has up-to-date passwords. You have to ensure that the batch script is accessible to the user's account ("show effective access" and so forth).



We have a number of User Tokens that we have set up in our new Infor 10x system this way. They are a bit touchy, but we've worked our way through and they now run fine. We usually access them through Smart Office's Job Wizard, however I set up a test User Token on my Smart Office canvas and it works like a button.
