Job Description
LN Infor System
Administrator
Exp : 6 to 12 years
Location : Immediate to 30 Days
Notice Period : Bangalore, Trivandrun, Kochi, Chennai, Pune, Noida, Hyderabad
Application Administration: The system administrator is entrusted with a wide array of
administrative duties. These include regular monitoring of system health, orchestrating
upgrades and patches, configuring application settings, and ensuring that scheduled jobssuch
as backups and automated reportsare executed as planned. Precision and diligence are
paramount, as even minor oversights can impact the performance or availability of the LN
application. Administrators are also expected to document all changes and maintain up-to-date
records for audit and troubleshooting purposes.
Primary Contact and Liaison: Serving as the main connection between the organization and LN,
the system administrator acts as the front-line contact for user questions, incidents, and
enhancement requests. They gather and evaluate feedback from LN users, diagnose issues, and
either resolve them directly or escalate more complex problems to the appropriate Global
Support Center. This necessitates strong communication skills to accurately convey technical
details, as well as empathy and patience when working with end users from various
departments.
Expertise in Application Environment: A deep understanding of the LN application's architecture
is essential. The system administrator must know the precise directory structures and file
locations within the system, as this knowledge is crucial for managing backups, restoring data
when needed, and performing critical tasks such as rebuilding tables. Familiarity with both the
application and operating system environmentswhether on-premises or cloud-basedis
required to swiftly diagnose issues and ensure data integrity.
Database Table Maintenance and Optimization: Efficient database management is at the core of
the LN environment. The administrator must regularly reorganize and optimize database tables,
particularly as records are deleted and space becomes fragmented. Without this preventive
maintenance, deleted records would continue to occupy valuable disk space, potentially leading
to performance bottlenecks or storage shortages. Table reorganization also helps maintain
query performance and ensures the database remains responsive for users.
Disk Space Management: Consistent monitoring of disk usage is critical. The system
administrator establishes threshold alerts and conducts periodic reviews of disk space
consumption across application, database, and temporary directories. Proactive management
helps avoid potential disruptions caused by insufficient storage, which can halt applications,
cause data loss, or prevent important jobs from running. Administrators may also be responsible
for planning storage expansion as business data grows.
Removal of Temporary and Unnecessary Files: Temporary files, log files, and unused data can
accumulate over time, consuming significant resources. The system administrator must
routinely identify and remove such files, either through automated scripts or manual clean-up
processes, to optimize system performance and prevent clutter. This also supports compliance
and data retention policies, ensuring that sensitive or obsolete information is properly disposed
of.
Security and Access Control: Maintaining robust security is a core responsibility. The
administrator is tasked with managing user accounts, enforcing password policies, assigning
appropriate permissions, and regularly reviewing access logs for unusual activity. They must stay
informed about security advisories and ensure that all patches and updates are applied
promptly to protect against vulnerabilities.
Disaster Recovery Planning: The administrator develops, tests, and refines disaster recovery
protocols, ensuring that the organization can quickly restore LN application services after
hardware failures, data corruption, or other unexpected incidents. Regular backup verification
and restoration drills are essential components of this responsibility.
Training and Documentation: Part of the role involves creating and maintaining comprehensive
documentation for internal processes, troubleshooting guides, and system architecture.
Administrators may also provide training sessions or materials for colleagues and end users to
promote best practices and efficient system utilization.
Continuous Improvement: The administrator should continuously evaluate system performance
and seek opportunities for improvement, including automation of routine tasks, upgrade
planning, and adoption of new tools to enhance efficiency and reliability.
