RE: Counting BPCS users

[Dennis Munro <DMunro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Norm,

I know for a fact that several people do not have green screen access &
their "Previous sign-on" field has the current date.  There are two
specifically that only have GUI access via BPCS & their date is sitting
where it was three years ago when they first started in BPCS.

Seems to be at odds with what we both think should happen.  I was guessing
the date was only getting "touched" by green screen access (just as you
thought) but that doesn't hold true for most of my BPCS users, i.e. BPCS
access only & the date is correct.

Yes, I am just trying to get a count of active BPCS users with their last
date of activity, if at all possible.  Trying to work through a licensing
issue.

Thanks - Dennis.

Dennis,
I believe the field "Previous sign-on" only records access via the "Green
Screen".
I'm not aware of any tracking for any GUI access.
This seems to be the case for Ver. 6.00.04 full C/S at least.

Are you trying to measure specific activity or just active users?

Norm

AS/400  -  V4R5M0 (Current on cum & group ptf's)  -  Ver. 6.0.02. plf,
March'98 cum, full client/server

Trying to get a handle on the number of users I have working on BPCS & I am
using the field "Previous sign-on" from the DSPUSRPRF *ALL *BASIC *OUTFILE
command.

I've noticed that most of the users have the correct date they last got on
the AS/400 via BPCS.  And then there are a small number of users who are
daily users whose last date they signed on was when they were originally set
up 3 years ago.  Any clue why or has this happened to you?  OGS had nothing
that I could find relative to my version of BPCS.

Probably not a big deal but now I really have to inspect the "Previous
sign-on" field for "accurate" data.  It now has gotten to be more work than
it really should be.

Thanks - Dennis.
