The Infor Lawson Query activity node
The Infor Lawson Query node enables you to construct a call to "classic" applications (Infor Lawson applications that are not based on Landmark-based). These calls go through the Lawson System Foundation Data service.
Typically, Infor Lawson Query nodes are iterative. They "loop" through a dataset to find all matching records within, for example, a specific data table. Suppose you wanted to create a process that searched for employees whose salaries were more than $2000 per week and those making less than $2000 per week. The Infor Lawson Query node is the part of the process that locates the records.
The Infor Lawson Query node can make use of the error connector. See Configuring error handling and the error connector in Infor Process Designer.
Some special characters that might be used with the Infor Lawson Query node require configuration to enable them. (Information about how to perform this configuration is in Infor Process Automation administration documentation.) Additional information about special character handling is in another section of this help system. See Encoding special characters for use with Infor Process Automation.
Input data will not be encoded by the node if an EJB connection is used. This could cause a problem if the ampersand (&) character is included in the data. Be sure that the ampersand (&) is explicitly encoded before passing in the value to the Infor Lawson Query node.
