Infor LN Domain Administration Guide

Short answer

Domain administration is the technical backbone of Infor LN operations. The domain concept in LN organizes databases, application servers, and configuration into manageable units that support development, testing, and production environments. Effective domain administration ensures system stability, performance, security, and recoverability. This guide covers the essential administration practices that keep LN environments healthy and productive.

Domain Architecture and Environment Strategy

An Infor LN domain consists of a database, application server processes, and configuration settings that together form a complete LN environment. Production organizations typically maintain multiple domains: development for building and testing changes, test/QA for user acceptance, training for user education, and production for live operations. Domain architecture decisions affect how changes flow from development to production and how issues are diagnosed.

Maintain at minimum four domains: development, test, training, and production for proper change management
Size non-production domains to mirror production data volumes for realistic testing of performance changes
Configure domain-specific parameters: batch processing schedules, printer mappings, and integration endpoints
Document the domain refresh process for restoring production data to non-production environments periodically

User and Security Administration

LN user administration involves creating user accounts, assigning roles and companies, configuring menu access, and managing password policies. LN's authorization model is role-based with company-level access control. Users can be assigned to multiple companies with different roles in each.

Effective administration requires automated provisioning processes tied to HR systems and regular access certification reviews.

Automate user provisioning from HR systems using LN's user management APIs or batch import tools
Assign roles at the company level, a user may need different permissions in different LN companies
Implement single sign-on (SSO) through LDAP or SAML integration to reduce password management overhead
Conduct quarterly access reviews certifying that each user's role assignments match their current job function

System Maintenance and Monitoring

LN domain maintenance includes database backup and recovery, application server monitoring, batch job management, and log file maintenance. Establish daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance routines. Daily: verify batch job completion and check error logs.

Weekly: review system performance metrics and disk space. Monthly: apply patches, archive old data, and verify backup recoverability through restore tests.

Verify critical batch jobs completed successfully every morning before business operations begin
Monitor LN application server processes for memory leaks and restart on a defined maintenance schedule
Archive historical transaction data per your retention policy to maintain database query performance
Test backup restoration quarterly to verify that disaster recovery procedures actually work as documented

Sharing guidance is a starting point for logical table linking in a multicompany setup, not an Infor rule: share tables whose codes must mean the same everywhere (units, currencies, countries, languages), consider sharing reference lists maintained centrally, and keep logistics and finance-specific tables (warehouses, departments) per company. Numbers, keys and sessions were checked against the LN 10.x online help. Baan IV notes say 'same number' only for well-known tables; for the rest, check the Baan IV data dictionary of your own system.
