Infor Lawson Servers overview

The Infor Lawson servers provide to users access to data, processing of batch jobs, and management of transactions.

The Infor Lawson servers run continuously unless stopped for maintenance, troubleshooting, or upgrade purposes.

Lawson Application Server (latm)

The Infor Lawson Application Server (latm) manages online transactions between the user interface - either the Infor Lawson Interface Desktop using the Infor Lawson presentation manager (lapm) or the Lawson Portal using IOS - and the database.

Database Server (ladb)

The Infor Lawson Database Server (ladb) provides access to data stored in a relational database. Using information contained in the IFS in the /EnvironmentDirectory/DB and /EnvironmentDirectory/law/ProductLine directories, ladb manages the database drivers. These drivers allow the Infor Lawson Runtime System to communicate with the information databases.
