Setting the Context Messaging Option

You can enable the context messaging option by configuring the portalconfig.xml file. With this feature, a new option is displayed under the General tab, under the General options, called Allow context messages. Follow the procedure below to enable the context messaging option.

  1. Open the portalconfig.xml file for editing. This file is located on the web server in:

    DocumentRoot lawsonMyLawsonPortalportalconfig.xml

  2. Make the changes you want to make to the context_messages attribute in the <SETTING id> node. (The <SETTING ID> nodes are between the <SETTINGS></SETTINGS> tags near the top of the portalconfig.xml file.)

    <SETTING id="context_messages" value="1" />

    Note: If context messaging is available globally through the portalconfig.xml file, then when the Lawson Portal Administrator creates or updates a role, a new option is displayed on the General tab under the General options: label, with the label Allow context messages. As with the portalconfig.xml option, this option also defaults to true.
  3. Enable or disable context messaging by changing the value of the IBCM_ENABLE property in the ui.cfg file located in LAWDIR/system. (Default value is TRUE.)
