Re: New company in BPCS

Bill,

It is dependent upon if the new entity will share items, and any other part of the database. If the answer to these questions is no then you need an entire new environment. Which as you have stated is a new library list.

You also need to decide if the new entity will need and benefit from the enhancements that you have made to the system.

These decisions need to made with a lot of discussion, and there is not a "cookbook" solution for all new acquisitions are unique. Please contact me off line so we can discuss further.

Subject: [BPCS-L] New company in BPCS

Hi All,

Currently running 8.2, and the company is looking to buy a new
division/company/whatever. And they will be going onto BPCS.

Management has decided that they want total seperation of the two
companies. To me, that says Library Lists. No big deal. But we're heavily
modified, so I'm going thru things now (and pretty new to BPCS as well).

So what is the best way to create a new set of libraries? I can put them
out & clear the files, but that's going to cause grief with security, menus,
etc. Is there a "Clear application data" type of command, or something
similar?

Thanks in advance,

Bill
