Re: Modification to ASSET program BOM500D1, BOM500D4

Hi Dean,

I think this is what you were talking about ? The ZKY file holds the user
preferences for remembered keys, so should not have anything to do with
security. I am not sure if this SCOPE entry covers every single step
required, but it is an outline of what is required to add a new program to
use group security features of the function key group security. So, also
Oludare has to add his new program/key literals to the ZOP file, not just
the BPCS Security Objects files. BOM500D1 does use the calls to the programs
which search this additional security file. You would have to copy all the
entries for BOM500D1 to be also entries under the new program name. Here are
the entries for BOM500D1, for example:

From SCOPE:


Platform: A400
Product: SYS
Version: 6.004
Program: SYS603
Closed Date: 1998-08-10
Closed By: NOVAKG
Incident #: 553571 -1

Group Security - How do you add programs to this? Also, how can you tell if
a program is enabled to use this function? Not all programs are listed when
I want to change settings in Group Security (SYS603D). I want to be able to
make all my BPCS programs authorized by functions like this.

Not all BPCS programs contain the functionality to have specific functions
authorized or not. To tell if a product should be able to work in SYS603,
you can view the source. Within the AOBLFK subroutine, it should call
SYS007B2, rather than SYS007B to allow only function keys that are
authorized to the user to appear on the screen. In the AOBLAC subroutine,
the program should call SYS006B2, rather than SYS006B so that only the
action commands the user is authorized to modify will appear. If the program
does do this, but is missing from SYS603, you would use a database utility
to add a record to the ZOP file setting OPID to 'OP', OPPROG for the program
name, OPSEQ as the option number (sequence number) and OPDESC as the message
ID associated with the option. If the product in question does not call the
required security programs, then the user would have to modify BPCS. Several
Enhancement BMRs exist to add more BPCS programs to SYS603.
