Updating the Environment Configuration File

Lawson environment variables are already defined in /etc/lawson.env. Infor recommends that you add third-party variables to the file. This ensures that the correct variables will be set each time you execute the LAWENV program and start your Environment.

Add third-party environment variables to the Environment configuration file

  1. At the OS400 command line, use edtf or map a drive and use your favorite editor to update the /etc/lawson.env file:

    edtf '/etc/lawson.env'

    Note: Do not use Notepad. It does not handle end-of-line characters properly.
  2. Page down to the Environment whose variables you want to modify.
  3. Add the following variables:

    set QIBM_PASE_CCSID 819

    set PASE_LANG en_US

  4. Verify that all third party environment variables exist, including:
    Variable Definition
    JAVA_HOME

    Path to the Java SDK installation for this Environment.

    /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/<version>/64bit
    LAW_JAVA_BIN /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/<version>/64bit/bin
    BPM_ADDTL_CLASSPATH (MQ Series users only) /MQInstallDir/java/lib/com.ibm.mq.jar:/MQInstallDir/java/lib/connector.jar
    Note: The MQInstallDir defaults to /QIBM/ProdData/mqm
  5. Press Save (F2) and then Exit (F3).
  6. Press Exit (F3).
  7. If you installed Lawson Core Technology on an IASP, at the OS/400 command prompt, type

    SETASPGRP IASPName

  8. Set the environment variables to pick up the new values. Type

    CALL LAWENV LawEnvName

    Note: If you have already called LAWENV, be sure to exit first (F3) so that the environment variables will be reset.
  9. If you are installing Lawson Core Technology onto an IASP, make sure the initial ASP group is set for the Lawson Environment job description.

    From an OS/400 command prompt, type the following commands.

    CHGJOBD JOBD(QGPL/LSFPROD1) INLASPGRP(IASPName)

    where IASPName is the name of your IASP.

  10. Stop the Lawson system. From the Qshell (QSH) comment line, type

    stoplaw

  11. Start the Lawson system

    startlaw
