What Is the Lawson Database Interface Configuration File?

The database interface configuration file is used to specify how Landmark accesses the database. It includes values such as the database server, name, port, and login information. The file is initially populated with the values you entered when you installed Landmark or your Landmark application.

The file location is:

%LARUNDIR%\DATAAREA\db.cfg

Changes in the database interface configuration file take effect without stopping or starting the database.

Example: Lawson db.cfg file with a single database
