Lawson Upgrade and Changes to 802 By: Craig Needham 8.0.2 Upgrade Information • Supported Upgrade Paths From Environment 7.0.8 and from LOGAN Engine 7.2.2.2 to Environment 7.3.3 and LOGAN Engine 7.3.2.1 and then to LOGAN Engine 7.3.3 and then to Environment 8.0.2 and LOGAN Engine 8.0.2 8.0.2 Upgrade Information • Compiler Changes for UNIX Customers –MicroFocus® COBOL Compiler Users –Merant Patches for Lawson HP Users –Sun C Compiler Note • Compiler Changes for Windows Customers –MicroFocus® Net Express REQUEST KEY and User Request Key Form –MicroFocus® COBOL Compiler Users New Environment 8.0.2 Features • Environment Limits Description Maximum Files per product line (mFILES) 4000 System codes per product line (mSYSTEMS) 512 Program codes per system code (mPGMSYS) 1200 Relations stored in table when users use the Drill Around feature (mRELGROUPS) 5000 Job Steps 32767 Recurring jobs per user 100000 Security condition elements 256 Security conditions per product line 32767 Security conditions per security class 32767 Index total column length 224 New Environment 8.0.2 Features • Job Queue Field Size Increase – The name of a job queue can now be up to 10 characters in length instead of 5. – The name of the default job queue is now “**********” instead of “*****” New Environment 8.0.2 Features • Environment Group Security – Environment Group Security is now always on. – ENVGRPSEC, PRTGRPSEC, DISTLISTGRPSEC, USERGRPSEC, JOBQGRPSEC parameters no longer used – upgenvgrps utility New Environment 8.0.2 Features • Decommission of lafile – Because Lawson no longer supports the storage of production data in the Lawson database (lafile), you get a warning message if you attempt to use lafile for production data. New Environment 8.0.2 Database Features • IBM DB2 Versions Supported in Environment 8.0.2 – IBM DB2 Universal Enterprise Edition • Versions 7.1 and 7.2 – IBM DB2/UDB V6.1 Client to DB2 OS/390 • Version 5.1 Database Server New Environment 8.0.2 Database Features • Informix Versions Supported in Environment 8.0.2 – Informix 9.20 and and 9.21 (Informix 2000) New Environment 8.0.2 Database Features • Oracle Versions Supported in Environment 8.0.2 – Oracle 8i versions 8.1.7 and 9i New Environment 8.0.2 Database Features • Sybase Versions Supported in Environment 8.0.2 – Sybase System 12.0 New Environment 8.0.2 Database Features • Microsoft SQL Server Versions Supported in Environment 8.0.2 – Microsoft SQL Server 2000 New Environment 8.0.2 Database Features • Empty Database Type – If a Lawson-provided table is not used at your site, you can free up the space allocated to the table by setting it to a database space that you have defined as empty. New Environment 8.0.1 Database Features • Improved dbreorg –The dbreorg utility has new features that improves the speed of database reorganization. –You can now choose to perform a dbreorg in one of three modes: Safe, Conservative, or Fast. –The dbreorg utility no longer dumps and loads all data for a given table when the only change made to that table is an index change. The dbreorg utility now drops and rebuilds only the indexes for such changes. LOGAN - New Name • Old: LOGAN - Lawson Open Gateway Navigator • New: IOS - Internet Object Services 802 IOS Basics • Internet Object Services are the engines that allow Lawson to be web-deployed • 802 IOS is a hybrid of Servlets and CGI • 802 IOS includes the LOGAN product line • Data for Portal Bookmarks, User information/attributes, ProcessFlow, Resource Management, etc. are warehoused in the LOGAN product line Planning My Upgrade • 3rd Party upgrades – Operating System – Database – COBOL compiler – Web Server • • • • Environment upgrade IOS upgrades CC upgrades Applications upgrade (can do before or after the server tech upgrade) Upgrade Paths • Server technology first, Applications second OR • Applications and IOS first, then Server technology What is Server Technology? • Environment • IOS (product formally known as LOGAN) • CC Products grouped under old Collaborative Commerce – Information Management – Collaboration and Integration What is Environment? • Core server Lawson pieces – – – – Ladb Latm Lajs Database drives • 3rd Party connectivity • COBOL compiler IOS Includes? • Web-enabling components – AGS – DME – IDA – WEBRPT User Interfaces PORTAL XML COM+ JAVA (JED /NED) What is Collaborative Commerce? • 7.3.2 separate Product line – Enterprise Workflow – TCS – BCI – E-Broadcasting – E-Resource Management • One-to-one relationship to Application PL A Starting Point • Environment 7.3.3 with ESP 8 or higher • LOGAN 7.3.2.1 with patches • CC 7.3.2 (if installed) • Applications 7.2.4 • Self Service Centers (SEA) 7.2.4.x Ending Points • • • • • LID 8.0.2 ENV 8.0.2 with ESP 2 or higher IOS 8.0.2 PORTAL 3.0 CC 8.0.2 – ProcessFlow Standard • Applications (stay the same) System Requirements • • • • • 8.0.2 Environment Web Server Servlet Container Web browser on client machines Java Development Kit – JDK 1.3.1 Verify Current System Set Up • • • • • • OS Database Cobol Compiler Java Development Kit (JDK) Lawson Environment version Application version Supported Operating Systems • • • • • HP11.X AIX 4.3X Sun 2.8 Dec 5.1 Windows 2000 Lawson Environment • 8.0.2 Environment is required for 8.0.2 IOS and Portal version 3.0 Supported Application Versions • 7.2.4 + • 8.0.2 • 8.0.3 Supported Web Server/Servlet Containers • Apache with Tomcat Servlet Container • iPlanet Web server/servlet container • IBM HTTPServer with Websphere Servlet Container • IIS Web Server with Tomcat Servlet Container Supported Web Browsers • Internet Explorer (IE) 5.5 • Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 • Netscape 6.2 Current Version of IOS • Current version determines upgrade process • 7.3.2.x to 7.3.3 is major upgrade – Database changes – Must be done prior to moving to 8.0.2 • 7.3.3 to 8.0.2 is considered cyclical • 8.0.1.1 to 8.0.2 is considered cyclical What Steps do I Need to Follow? • If current version is 7.3.2 – Upgrade to 7.3.3 • If current version is 7.3.3 – Upgrade to 8.0.2 • If current version is 8.0.1 or 8.0.1.1 upgrade to 8.0.2 7.3.2 to 7.3.3 • 7.3.3 IOS merges LOGAN and Collaborative Commerce product line • Clean LOGAN product line is necessary for successful merge • Product line clean-up will remove files and programs no longer needed in LOGAN 7.3.2 to 7.3.3 con’t. • Must follow LOGAN Product line cleanup instructions – Pre-installation step for 7.3.3 – May have been done as post-install for 7.3.2.1 • Instructions include: – Dumping LOGAN data into a flat file – Removing and re-installing LOGAN product line – Importing the data Roles and Tasks > Bookmarks • Roles and tasks are converted to bookmarks with 7.3.3 LOGAN • Allows for greater flexibility when defining bookmarks – Indefinite number of child bookmarks can be assigned to parent bookmarks • Hierarchical levels are inherited – When top-level bookmark is assigned to a group, children follow Roles and Tasks > Bookmarks con’t. • Documented in 7.3.3 post-installation instructions • LO900 converts Web users into new files and tasks into bookmarks • LO901 converts USERROLE and USERTASK records into bookmarks • LO920 must be run to update bookmarks or add new ones • Runs against LAWSONLD file delivered with LOGAN install New Web User Record • Web1 record is replaced by RD30 record in 7.3.3 • Behind the scenes program updated when Web users are added • “Web user” field was changed to “Web Name” on Cobol forms 7.3.3 to 8 Series • Name changed from LOGAN to IOS – Internet Object Services • 8 Series uses Java servlet technology – Servlet container configuration instructions included in post-install instructions • 8.0.2 uses RMI server technology – RMI configuration instructions are included in post-installation instructions 7.3.3 to 8 Series con’t. • JDK version 1.3.1 is required on application server and Web server. – Local installs only require one instance of JDK • Servlet container is required Next Steps? • Once the IOS has been installed, the desired User Interface can be installed • There is no user or user interface delivered with IOS • Portal version 3 is the only UI that takes advantage of performance enhancements Questions
