Re: MAPICS-L Digest, Vol 6, Issue 225

WARNING: The parameters sample given by Sesha if given to a regular
user; breaks access security for MAPICS. With AMAPICS as "Group
Profile" that user could do virtually anything to the MAPICS data and
application code. (Using FTP, ODBC, and other means.

The proper way to address the issue is as Eric suggeted or with with a
proper authorization list as Nick may have found useful.

Sesha,
I hope you are aware of the impact of assigning access as in your
example? That's a huge security risk!

Regards,
Ed

Hi Nick,

Could you have a look at the userprofile of the Purchasing Agent itself

Group profile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : AMAPICS
Owner . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *GRPPRF
Group authority . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NONE
Group authority type . . . . . . . . . . . : *PRIVATE

Please have a look at these parameters.

Regards
Sesha

Menu

Hi everyone,

I have a program called from and AS/400 defined menu, which the menu
is
called from CL Program that the user accesses through the MAPICS Group
Job
Menu System. The program is then submitted to the JOBQ. When the
program
starts running from the JOBQ, I get a CPF4104 error message on the
ITEMASA
file. The file is described as an Input only file in the program.
The
User has full authority to the file through MAPICS. He is our
Purchasing
Agent, and is authorized to do all functions to the file (add, update,
delete Item records). The program is 13 years old, and I just found
out
has never worked correctly. Does anyone know what I should look for
regarding the authority?



Thanx,

Nick

Do a wrkobj in all libraries of the system and see if there is a JOBD
(job
description) for the object. Then check out the authorities.

The only other things I could think of would be caught by the
compiler.

Nick,
It could be a number of things. Here are some of the things that I do
with
custom programs that you may to look at:

1) The program objects should be owned by AMAPICS with user profile
as
*GRPPRF.
2) On the submit job command string, you may want to use the AMJOBD
job
description.

Hello,

I found out the problem. There is an Authorization List attached to a
bunch of my MAPICS Inventory and Routing files. This User was not in
this
Authorization List, so I added him, and everything is fine now.

Now, I have to find out why we have this Authorization List. We
don't
allow ANY of our Users, except me, Command Line Access. Everything is
run
from a MAPICS, vanilla or custom, menu.

Thank you for the suggestions though.



Thanx,

Nick
