Executing a Lawson Job Using the lacobrts Utility

Jobs created using third-party products can still be executed with lacobrts for clients who prefer to use this utility.

If a job has never been run before, you must create the UNIX directory for the output files (formID .prt). The permissions on the directory should allow the user to create files in that directory (777).

For a Lawson single-step job or for one step in a multiple-step job, at the command line, type the following command.

lacobrts $LAWDIR/productline/obj/programcode.gnt productline username jobname step#

Example

To run the job gl200sjm for user steve, type

lacobrts /lawson/dev/obj/gl200.gnt dev steve gl200sjm 1

Note: When typing programcode.gnt, match case to the program you are running. For example, if your job is from program HR200, you would type "HR200.gnt".

To execute multiple steps in a job, repeat the above command (build a UNIX script to save the information for executing at a later time).
