With the numerous digital security breaches in the news in recent months, many companies are asking themselves if their digital perimeters are safe enough to withstand against a cyber-attack. With the price of protection being costly, companies are having to make serious compromises. Organizations’ network perimeters have dramatically extended as companies try to make their private network support digital enterprise. This can be very dangerous because many private networks are based on a many-to-many model, meaning that a network with 10 thousand end points would need a business to watch almost 100 million potential connections.

Infor has announced a new addition to their Talent Science solutions known as Infor Coleman. Infor Coleman is an enterprise-grade, industry-specific Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform for Infor CloudSuite that learns and enhances the process of things like inventory management, human capital, and more. Talent Science is a helpful predictive talent analytic for the cloud that assists in fitting the right people to the right roles. Infor Coleman will benefit Talent Science by utilizing machine learning to improve predictions by leveraging millions of job candidates in the database in order to develop a model that is more accurately calibrated to the global workforce. The AI will also make prediction models more precise and valid. It’s predicted that this will allow for lower turnover rates and higher performances in those who are deemed as good fits for a role.
There are several ways to trigger an IPA process, including 4GL triggers and scheduling. One simple and low-overhead method is to use a HTTP(S) call.
HTTP(S) calls can be used to trigger a Process or a Service. To begin, you should have the process uploaded into IPA. Then you should create the Process or the Service Trigger. These can be created in Rich Client or in the IPA Admin web tool, but note that the following instructions use the verbiage & menus in Rich Client.
Creating a Process Trigger
In Rich Client, go to Start > Scheduling by Process Definition
Create New
Select the Process under Process Name
Give the trigger a work title
Add variables if your process accepts them
Creating a Service Trigger
In Rich Client, first create the Service Definition by going to Start > Configuration > Service Definitions
Create New
Give the service a Name and Description
Check the “Is Service Enabled” check box
Click the Save button
Under the Processes tab, add the process that you will be running with this service (click the add new button)
Select the process to add
Make sure the “Is Service Process Enabled checkbox is checked
Click the save button
Add variables if your process accepts them
URL syntax for calling Process & Service Triggers
Make sure you give your process a work title, in this case we are using Trigger Test
These examples assume two variables: TestVar1 and TestVar2 (variables use a zero-based array)
For a Service Call, triggerName is the service definition name
For a Process Call, triggerName is the process trigger name

There are many benefits to implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system at your business. However, there are valid reasons as to why one would be hesitant to do so as it can be a very stressful time for everyone involved. There are certain steps that businesses both large and small can take in order to make the time less stressful and prevent an ERP disaster.
Get Everyone on board – Explain to your team all of the benefits of implementing the new system and how it is going to improve the daily workflow.
Take Advantage of Implementation Services – These implementation services were created to help ease with the transition process.
Choose the right software for your company – What works for one company may not work for another. Research the system and discuss it with your team before making an overall decision.
Customization isn’t Always Better – Sometimes going overboard with customization can have disastrous consequences and even more difficult to fix the problem.
Create a Realistic and Flexible Timeframe – Most ERPs take at least two weeks to set-up, so plan ahead and don’t rush through it.
With the rapid popularity of wearables like fitbits and smartwatches, anyone today can track their own health, thus providing more information on one’s own health before stepping into the doctor’s office. With this new technology and information, clinicians will need new resources to better analyze a patient’s health and medical records. The American Hospital Association (AHA) recently published an article stating patient-generated data and customized services are top among the areas where healthcare organizations are investing in innovation today, aiming to improve patient experience. Clinicians will need to be able to parse content from a variety of sources and formats. “I expect there to be software that would be a combination of natural language processing with monitored and unmonitored algorithms to identify themes to track by disease and specialty,” said Anupam Goel, chief medical information officer for Advocate Health Care. “The clinician would rely on the software to minimize errors – data unintentionally included or unintentionally excluded.” Healthcare professionals will have to better ready themselves for this new data source since this consumer movement will continue and grow as patients gain greater and quicker access to their information.

When applying a patch to the LSF environment, we saw Security Violation errors on environment utilities even though security was turned off. In the below example, the error was returned from trying to run ldunivtkns (to load environment tokens) and also on envrelease (to show the environment version.) This issue was resolved after contacting the network team to replicate file system permissions from an older Lawson server. While it was not shared exactly which permissions were changed that were not already in place, once the new permissions were applied, the Security Violations were replaced in the logs with the appropriate responses from the commands.
When installing Landmark 11 with Oracle, an error may return in the log related to a config variable when setting up the database. The installation will run for some time and eventually call D:\lmkprod]\env\install\dbconfigda.pl. When it does this, the perl script reads the install.cfg file under the landmark system directory. Within that file, it looks for a number of variables for the database that begin with ORA. Those variables are set in place during the interview questions before the installation begins. Rather than read the ORA variables, the perl script will look for an additional prefix to those variables – GEN. When it does not find GEN.ORA, the installation fails. The installation error can be resolved by copying the ORA variables to the end of the install.cfg file and edited to begin with GEN.ORA. After updating, the install.cfg, dbconfigda.pl will complete. The installation can then be restarted and continue past the error.
The SQL Query Node can be used to query any SQL Server database.
Connection information
Either select the configuration name that contains your JDBC connection information
Or select Override Connection and provide the override information
The SQL Query Node can run a SQL Query, Run a stored procedure, or perform a create/update command. If you are running a SQL Query, you can click the “Build” button to build the query in a GUI wizard.
For many start ups and small to medium sized companies, they believe that getting a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is going to be rather costly, making it only realistically obtainable for large or prosperous organizations. Companies think this for a myriad of reasons; they allocate enough resources for the training, they think of it as just another software, they make poor plans for it, and/or don’t use it to the fullest. In actuality, CRM helps to majorly reduce operating cost. It does this in many of ways. For starters it makes sure that all enquiries are addressed, helping increase sales and giving more clarity about the activities of the enquiries. In addition, CRM also increases sales by analyzing a detailed report about consumer patterns and behaviors.
The Message Builder Node accepts a string of text and appends each text of that string to the message each time the node is used. This can be useful when your process loops through records and records any error messages for each record. It’s also good for notification messages for multiple records.
The Variable name is what will be referenced when you want to use the built message later in the process.
Reference the variable name just like any other variable name. All nodes after the message builder will have access to the message builder variable.
