Defining Machine IDs

A %LAWDIR%\system directory must exist on each Lawson server in the configuration. Each %LAWDIR%\system directory must contain a file that defines the serial number of the server where it resides. When work files are created, a unique identifier will be generated based on the machine ID.

These steps must be completed on each Lawson server in the configuration

Create a MACHINE_ID file

  1. In the %LAWDIR%\system directory, create a text file called MACHINE_ID.
  2. Identify the serial number for the Lawson server.

    You can use an OS command to view the machine configuration, which should include the serial number.

    -or-

    Check the back of the machine.

  3. Check the output from the command to identify the machine serial number.
  4. Add the machine serial number to the MACHINE_ID file. Save and close the file.
  5. Repeat these steps on each Lawson server in the configuration.
