What Is the Lawson Database Driver Configuration File?
Every product line and data area must have an associated MICROSOFT database driver configuration file, stored in the following location:
%LAWDIR%\ dataarea \MICROSOFT
This file contains information that specify how the Lawson database drivers interact with the MICROSOFT database. When a database driver starts, it reads the database driver configuration file. The parameters in the file are exported into the environment of each database driver.
A database driver configuration file is created for a product line by the Lawson installation program based on the responses entered for the installation questions. Data areas are not created by the installation program, so you must create a new MICROSOFT file for each new data area you create. How Do I Create a New Data Area?
Changes in the Lawson MICROSOFT database driver configuration file can take effect without stopping or starting the database. You need to idle the drivers using the dbadmin utility, however. Editing the Lawson Database Driver Configuration File
Each new connection to the database requires an msfdb2000 process. Using latm, however, can cause the same msfdb2000 process to be used if you use an application repeatedly within a specified amount of time.
The following shows a sample Lawson MICROSOFT database driver configuration file.
