Managing Lawson Applications and Infor Smart Office features
Lawson Applications and Infor Smart Office features are managed using Infor Smart Office administration tools and concepts.
Specifying the location of Grids where Lawson Applications are deployed
Lawson Applications may contain a Grid component, which must be installed into a Grid. A Grid must be selected when the application is deployed in LifeCycle Manager. This Grid may be the same as the Grid where Infor Smart Office is installed. However, the Lawson Application may also be installed into a different Grid altogether.
If the Lawson Application is deployed to a different Grid than Infor Smart Office, you must use the SmartClient configuration in the Profile Editor to list the additional Grids so that Infor Smart Office can locate the Application. See Basic SmartClient system profile configuration.
Managing Infor Smart Office feature deployment
Lawson Applications may contain Infor Smart Office features. The Installation Point Manager (available in the Administration Tools menu) allows you to manage which features are deployed.
-
When Lawson Application files are installed onto the Infor Smart Office server, the application's feature files are automatically added to the default feature folder.
-
When updates to features are installed, features in the default feature folder are automatically updated.
-
It is not possible to have different versions of the same feature deployed to different feature folders. If another version (older or newer) exists in the selected feature folder, it will be replaced by the version being deployed. If other feature folders contain this same feature, it will be updated in all feature folders.
-
Feature files are removed from the feature folder and repository when the Lawson Application is uninstalled.
-
The system profile determines which feature folder will be used when Infor Smart Office is started. Use the SmartClient profile screen to select the feature folder for the system profile
