Publishing a burstable Lawson Applications report

Use this procedure to publish a Lawson Applications report that contains bursting tags. Before you can specify bursting options, you must publish the Lawson Applications report that you want to burst.

Publishing or bursting the Lawson Applications reports with Infor Lawson System Foundation 9.0.x requires that the necessary .xml and .prod files exist or are created. To insure that these files are generated, you must perform one of the following procedures.

  • Run the bldxffiles -CXAp program.
  • Configure the report options at the Lawson Environment and applications levels. Depending upon which reports you want to publish or burst, the RUNTIME_XML_ENABLE and RUNTIME_XML settings must be set to On. For more information about configuring these options, see the Lawson Administration: Jobs and Reports Administration Guide.
