webrun to run a lawson batch report

We are in process of migrating to Lawson v10 from v9. We are already on IPA 10.1.0.41.200. I am trying to run a flow on our new version 11.0.1.33 to execute a webrun to submit a batch report. On our old version the username is just the user name, however on this new version of Lawson v10, the username is INFORBCusername. When trying to use the new username format in the webrun, it does not like the "" symbol. I was able to use javascript to get this to work for the Lawson transaction node, but it is not working for the webrun.

Javascript: vUserName = "INFORBC" + 'x5c' + "mrue"

What can I use for the webrun since vUserName variable is not working? it just changes the variable to INFORBC%5Cmrue and the job does not submit.

Thanks,

Michelle Rue

Is this the call you are making?

/lawson-ios/action/SubmitJob?jobOwner=<!jobOwner>&jobName=<!jobName>

We use the Infor Lawson cgi-lawson/jobrun.exe web program with the following in the post string for a scheduled PR296 run:

FUNC=run&USER=INFORBCgcsinfor&JOB=GCS-PR296&PROD=appProdline&OUT=xml&WAIT=TRUE

The post string is ok with the character put directly into the post string, but if you are assigning the user as a variable via javascript, you may have to put \ instead of as it will treat one as an escape character.

I figured it out. that was not the issue, I just had the wrong URL Type, I forgot to change it from External to Infor Lawson

Thanks, for your input

Robert, you may want to look into updating that cgi-lawson call to a lawson-ios/action call. All the CGI applications were deprecated in LSF10 and are no longer tested against code changes to the application.

Javascript for assign node after submitting a job:

var xmlString = WebRun2810_result.replace(/<?xml.*?>/, '');

var myXML= new XML(xmlString);

jobNumber = myXML.QUEUEDJOB.@jobNumber;

jobNumber = "0000000000" + jobNumber;

jobNumber = jobNumber.substring(jobNumber.length - 10);

lawson-ios/action/ListQueuedJobs?filter=jobNumber%20EQ%20<!jobNumber>

To get the status of the job; looping intermittently using a wait node.
