Setting up prerequisites

Before using the new gaming features in Lawson, a system administrator must run a UNIX touch command to enable the gaming functionality.

  1. Transfer to this directory on the unix server:

    LAWDIR/productline/Admin

  2. To enable the Pre-defined Industry tab on GL160 and display the Load default Divisions/Departments button on GL63.1, specify this command:

    touch USEGAMING

  3. Ensure that these CSV files are loaded in LAWDIR/productline/Admin.

    These files are loaded during the CTP install and contain the default data used by the Lawson gaming features; therefore you must not delete or modify these. The CSV datafile names are:

    • Gaming.GLICHART.csv.load

    • Gaming.GLINAMES.csv.load
