Likely cause

The lsservice.properties in LMRK contains a mixed hostname. This portion of the message...

fed.local.id=LMRK10.LPC.LAWSON.COM;9207;9208;LANDMARKfed.servers=LMRK10;9207;9208;
LANDMARK,LSF10.LPC.LAWSON.COM;6626;6627;LSF,LSF10.LPC.LAWSON.COM;6626;6627;LSS

...means that the property "fed.local.id" uses "FQDN (LMRK10.LPC.LAWSON.COM)" while "fed.servers" uses the short name "LMRK10".

Resolution

Update the LAWDIR/system/lsservice.properties file on the LSF server to use the FQDN host name for all servers.

If you update lsservice.properties, you will need to restart LSF and its application server.

If you have not registered the systems, make sure you use the FQDN host name when you perform the registration procedure. (Restarting all servers is part of the federation process.)
