Configure application server(s) for Lawson

  1. On the Application Server Configuration tab, go to the Server Infrastructure > Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom Properties for the application server.

    Add the following name/value pairs for Lawson environment variables.

    Name Value
    com.lawson.gendir

    literal path to GENDIR

    Example

    /lsfprod1/gen
    com.lawson.lawdir

    literal path to LAWDIR

    Example

    /lsfprod1/law
    com.lawson.ladbdir

    literal path to LADBDIR

    Example

    /lsfprod1/db

    Optional

    com.lawson.logdir

    Literal path to a location for Lawson Security log files. If you don't set this value, security logs will be stored in LAWDIR/system by default.

    Note: This directory must already exist on your system.

    Optional

    com.lawson.log.server.name

    This value is used in vertically-scaled configurations. It allows vertically-clustered Lawson installations to have unique IOS log files for each server in the cluster.

    This value must be unique for each cluster member.

    The recommended naming sequence is "_server<Number>", where the resulting IOS log is named "ios_server<Number>.log". For example, if you have three application servers in your vertical cluster, your IOS logs will be ios_server1.log, ios_server2.log, and ios_server3.log.

    If you don't set this value, IOS logs will be written to "ios.log" by default.

    Note: The characters in the server name value must be valid file name characters for your OS.
  2. Navigate to the Server Infrastructure > Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine configuration. Add Lawson files/locations to the JVM classpath for the application server where you will deploy Lawson. Use the literal path to your GENDIR, LAWDIR, and WAS_HOME. 
    WAS_HOME/plugins/javax.j2ee.jta.jar
GENDIR/java/jar/lawsonrt.jar
GENDIR/java/jar/lawsec.jar
GENDIR/java/thirdParty/secLS.jar
LAWDIR/system
WAS_HOME/plugins/javax.j2ee.servlet.jar 
WAS_HOME/plugins/javax.j2ee.jsp.jar 
WAS_HOME/plugins/javax.j2ee.el.jar
  3. For each application server running Lawson, define the following Lawson variables in the Server Infrastructure > Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Environment Entries configuration window.
    Environment variable Value
    GENDIR Literal path to GENDIR for your Environment
    LAWDIR Literal path to LAWDIR for your Environment
    LADBDIR Literal path to LADBDIR for your Environment
    COBDIR Literal path to COBDIR on your system
    PATH

    The literal path to:

    GENDIR/bin:GENDIR/cgi-bin:COBDIR/bin
    LAWENVNAME Use the same value you will use for the Environment name when you install Infor Lawson System Foundation.
    LAWIPC Use the same value you will set for LAWIPC when you install this Lawson product
    LC_CTYPE

    iso-8859-1

    This value is only required if the root user's locale is set to something other than iso-8859-1. See KnowledgeBase article 5246654 for more information.

    Shared library path

    Use the variable specific to your operating system.

    The literal paths to the Lawson shared libraries.

    For example:

    GENDIR/lib/shared:/GENDIR/bin:/GENDIR/lib:COBDIR/lib:JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64/server

    Where amd64 is the name of the processor for your system.

    To locate the processor name (for example, amd64), follow the steps below:

    1. From a command prompt, type:

      uname -p

      Note: This returns the processor type.
    2. Change directories.

      cd $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib

    3. Display directory contents.

      ls

      In the list, locate the name for your processor. See example below.

  4. If you are using WAS with IPv6, refer to the steps below:
    1. For the Deployment manager, navigate to System Administration > Deployment manager > Java and process management > Process definition > Java virtual machine > Custom Properties.
    2. Set the java.net.preferIPv6Addresses syntax to java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true.
    3. For the Node agent, navigate to System Administration > Node agent > nodeagent > Java and process management > Process definition > Java virtual machine > Custom Properties .
    4. Set the java.net.preferIPv6Addresses syntax to java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true.
