Re: Print reports > 132 chr -- BPCS-L

Hello,

If you add your custom report programs to BPCS SYS625 security and add them
to the BPCS menu or a custom menu,
then normally you can modify the CL program SYS501C to recognize the program
who it will call (it is one of the parms already) and for your program, you
can use a different override, while the rest of BPCS programs would take the
default. Do this if you want your programs to be added to the BPCS
structure. The iSeries support team (OnePoint support) has further details
on modifying the CL program.

Whether or not you do that, one other thing I would mention which is
separate is that there are BMRs which allow the securing of the command line
in BPCS so that the user has the same authorities to objects both inside and
outside of BPCS from a command line.

The BPCS programs and database can then be secured so that users have no
authority to see/call them unless they are using a BPCS program and the BPCS
program performs the call or looks at or changes the data (the SSA Group
Profile on the iSeries user profile would actually be removed at that
stage).

I have mentioned this in past posts (in more detail) so check the archives -
the BPCS database and programs can be secured so that users have no ability
to run programs or see data unless they are in the BPCS environment.

If you contact the iSeries OnePoint support team, they can give you further
details. There is a README provided with the BMR which explains the steps
required to implement this type of user/object security in BPCS.

Thanks,
