Starting the Lawson system

  1. If the LDAP server is not running, start it before you start Lawson.
  2. If you installed Lawson Core Technology on an IASP, at the IBM i command prompt, specify this information:

    SETASPGRP IASPName

  3. If your initial sign-on does not include LAWENV, run the LAWENV program to set the environment variables. At the IBM i command line, specify this information:

    CALL LAWENV

    Specify the name of the Environment you want and press Enter.

  4. Start the Lawson subsystem. At the IBM i command line, specify this information:

    STRSBS SBSD(subsystemname)

    - or -

    STARTLAW subsystemname

    Note: The STARTLAW command and the STRSBS command accomplish the same thing in this case. They both start the subsystem and the Lawson servers. In other cases, the STARTLAW command is useful because it will start any Lawson servers that are not running even though the subsystem is already running. The STRSBS command will not start the Lawson servers if the subsystem is already running.
  5. Restart the WebSphere application server. Use the instructions provided with your application server to start the server you configured to run Lawson. The person who starts the application server must be a member of the group for Lawson.
    Note: The web server must be running in order for the Lawson system to run, but you do not need to start it before you start the Lawson system.
