Command Line (UNIX and Windows only)

This procedure enables you to access a terminal session command line for the server where your Lawson Environment is. At the command line, you can then navigate to the various directories within an Environment, run Environment utilities, access menus for Environment utilities or application programs, and so on.

This procedure depends on the following prerequisites:

• You must be set up as a user with the appropriate security access to Lawson. If you use 10.0.x Lawson System Foundation, for more information about security, see the Lawson Security: Authorization Management for S3 Lawson System Foundation guide.

• You must have your LATERM variable set properly. To use the Lawson Interface Desktop graphical user interface, LATERM must be set to univwin (or univint if you use other languages than English). You can also set LATERM to pt80-e (or pt80-i for other languages than English) if you want to use a character-based user interface for application forms. The LATERM variable can be set globally or by user. Check with your system administrator for the preferred method at your site.

• On UNIX, to access a specific Lawson Environment when you log in initially, you must be set up (such as through your user profile) to access the specific Environment. This includes making sure that the appropriate environment variables are set. After you log in, you can also use the Change Environment command (. cv) to switch to a different Environment, if your system has multiple Environments. For more information about the Change Environment command and environment variables, see Lawson Administration: Server Setup and Maintenance (UNIX version).
