Re: QSTRUP and BPCS

Clare...

If it were me... I'd write a separate CL program to accomplish the task, 
then allow that program to adopt the appropriate authorities.  Once 
written and tested the call to that separate program could be added to 
QSTRUP. 
I have a couple of concerns with having QSTRUP adopt authority, first, 
while not extremely volatile, the program does change periodically, and 
everybody that touches it must know to compile it with the correct adopted 
authority, and second, someone could add a call that when started with 
this adopted authority allows an unacceptable level of access to other 
users because of how the initial call was invoked.

Anyway..that's my 2 cents.

[BPCS-L] QSTRUP and BPCS






Hello fellow BPCS-nauts,

Does anyone have any advice on the prevailing standards for setting up 
security in QSTRUP for access to BPCS? By default QSTRUP runs under QPGMR, 

which doesn't have access to BPCS if the BPCS files library is SSA owned 
but 
Public *Exclude. Or even if it isn't *exclude. If I want a program 
launched 
by QSTRUP to check a data area, say, in the BPCS library, what is the best 

way to allow this? Is it to use adopted authority for QSTRUP using the SSA 

group profile?

thanks,

Clare

Subject: [BPCS-L] ACP Check Printing Problem

  As I understand the process, before printing on checks whose check #s 
are
  pre-printed on the check stock, our accounting lady tells BPCS what 
check
  # range will be used to pay what vendors, then if everything works
  perfectly, the data on the printed checks agrees with the data in 

BPCS.

  But sometimes she has a printing problem, leading to the check #s that 

got
  printed on, being say a few digits after what BPCS thinks they are.
  Apparently how she has been dealing with this is to scribble on the 

BPCS

  print-outs what check #s end up as, with the data in BPCS never being
  corrected.

  This way of handling things was apparently acceptable until a change 

in

  management, and the need to send copies of some of our BPCS data to
  another system that would appreciate getting correct data.

  How do other companies deal with this scenario?
  Do you void the whole run & start over?  Does BPCS support start over,
  without a big hassle?
  Is there some program option we have overlooked where we can tell BPCS 

...
  all the checks from 45321 onwards dated today need to be incremented 

by 

2.

  If I have to go in there with DFU and muck with the check #s, is there 

a

  list of files affected?

  We are on 405 CD.
