RE: Licence assigments

[Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

There is security validation over this file as well...  For instance...
Deleting a company number from this option in Common Functions is one
really swift way of taking a company off line...!  If this record does not
exist in the file IPGAMF4/APG13PHY then none of the applications can use
that company for ANYTHING...!!!

In practical terms this is probably not a viable method for restricting
access to a company (although it might be used for that on a temporary
basis...) because even if you do eliminate the record from APG13PHY that
does not eliminate the data in the files within the various applications
that pertain to that company number...  Purging those records becomes a
much larger undertaking...

Your original subject said "Licence [assignments]" so you're probably
trying to understand more about how your seats are used up when users log
into the system etc...  This file has little or nothing to do with
Licensing or seat usage within JBA...

The are some very thorough explanations of that on the web page :
http://jbaworld.com/services/customer/index.htm
And there may even be some prior discussions in the archives of this
list...:

Good luck...

This is to maintain the company name that's displayed on the menus.
Additional company parameters are available within each application.
In most cases, a company (such as the proverbial 'Z1') has to be set up
both
in option 4 from ADMINISTRATION, and the actual application that you're
executing (OE, IN, etc.).  This latter validation is performed by whichever
program you have defined as the "Company Validation" program for the
application inside Application Manager.
Hope this helps.
