Infor Lawson Servers overview

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

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 $LADBDIR and $LAWDIR/productline directories, ladb manages the database drivers. These drivers allow the Infor Lawson Runtime System to communicate with the information databases.

Compile Queue Server (queue)

The Infor Lawson Compile Queue Server (queue) is a batch tool that controls access to the COBOL compiler. .

Infor Lawson Debug Server (ladebug)

The Infor Lawson Debug Server controls the debugging of COBOL programs. If the ENABLEDBG parameter in ladebug.cfg is set to TRUE and if ladebug is running, programs will register with the Infor Lawson Debug Server if they are in debug mode. Because of performance considerations, do not run ladebug in a production Infor Lawson Environment.

See the information about debugging in Doc for Developers: Application Development Workbench.

Batch Server (lajs)

See the information on jobs and reports in Infor Lawson Administration: Jobs and Reports.
