Batch Job Users

In addition to the access requirements for online only users, batch job users require the following:

  • The user must have a unique OS ID that will be linked to the Lawson RMID.

  • The user must have access to additional data and programs in the Lawson Environment. One way to assign these rights is through the Lawson-delivered role BATCH. This can be assigned when the user is added to the system. (BATCH delivers a minimum set of access requirements for batch users. Users at your site might need additional rights.)

  • The user must be a member of an Environment user group.

Batch job user Environment access requirements

The batch job user must have access to the following Environment objects. Typically, you will create a security class for batch users and give them the access rights they need.

  • On the GEN profile in Lawson Security, the user must have access to the QUEUEDJOB object. (Create a rule for Files, UN system code, QUEUEDJOB.)

  • On the ENV profile in Lawson Security, the user must have access to Batch Job Scheduling and the job executables you want the user to have access to. (Create a rule for Executables, Batch Job Scheduling, and then the specific executables.)

  • Also on the ENV profile, the user must have access to a job queue.

Batch job users may need to be members of distribution and printer groups

If you want batch job users to be able to distribute print files and reports to other users or send them to the printers of other users, you must set up distribution groups and printer groups.

For more information on distribution groups and printer groups, see Lawson Administration: Jobs and Reports.
