Re: BPCS 6.04 Security

[Clare.Holtham@xxxxxxxxx]

Hello mgraziano,
Yes you are right - BPCS has always ignored all the subsequent information
in the security files if the user is type 'S' (except briefly in V5).
For the 'U' type user it will be building a matrix at signon, and yes you
can improve the performance of this by creating a logical or an SQL index
over the ZXO file - this is usually quite large as it contains a record for
each object within BPCS (used to be the ZSO file). You'll probably need to
create this index by XOMENU, XOSYS, XORELN - but if you run the DBMON job
it will tell you exactly what key to use. Obviously the more complicated
the BPCS security set-up the slower it will be anyway.
Hope this helps,
Clare

Does anyone have a matrix of how BPCS 6.04 security works.  It seems
that if the user is tagged as S then it does not check any further.  If
the user is U then the signon screen sometimes takes 1 minute.  Could it
be a logical file issue??
