User Licenses -- SYSTEM21

Glenn

User licences are controlled by authorisation and user codes that define the
number of concurrent users and the license expiry date. To change the number
of users you will need new codes. The Apply Authorisation Codes option in
the Administration menu in Manager 400 will allow you to list the current
authorisation and user codes, together with the expiry dates, but sadly does
not tell you how many concurrent users are allowed.

User license management in System 21 is a pain, along with auditing
facilities, archiving, and a host of other system management requirements.
They are issues I have raised on many occasions through user groups in the
UK but to little avail.

We have a problem on a status of a payment in 4/APE.

Here is what we are doing.

a.   4/APE
b.   Typing in an Item Type and Reference
c.   Over on the More field on the right side of the screen, we put in a 2
d.   This brings up a Item Inquiry - Payment Screen (program PL496)
e.   The status says 5, which according to the bottom of the screen means
      "Released from Cash Mgmt, awaiting update".

Does anyone know how to get it off of this status and to a status of 15
(payment completed)? It seems to be hung here for some reason.

Thank you.

Best guess is that you haven't applied the check number yet.

Bob,

It sounds like either the CSUPDATE or the PLUPDATE background job is not 
running...

Use the WRKSBS command on any command line...  Press enter... Press F11 and
look for subsystems CSBACK3 and PLBACK3...

Under the Active Jobs column you should see 1 active job in each of these...

  If you see a zero then that is the problem...

To restart the background job use one of the following...
For CS use 35/CSU followed by 38/CSU
For PL use 15/APU followed by 35/APU

Depending on why these susbystem jobs are not running (they may have ended 
abnormally) you may need to clear some record locks etc... Furthermore you
might need to ascertain the reason why the job failed if it 
did fail...  You want to make sure that everything that was supposed to post

did post and that all numbers are accurate...  This could be a symptom of a 
larger problem that you would want to nip in the bud now instead of when you

try to close the monthend...!!!

Let me know if this is the answer or not...

And if you have maintenance you should call geac support if this does not 
solve your problem...

Good luck...

Subject: [SYSTEM21]   MRP Wipe Out

Any body had this problem

Ran MRP for a selective run over 1 item, this has wiped out all other
records in MRP71,72,73 for the same company and model number and so MRP
review is now not useable (except for the 1 item) it has never happened
before

Cheers


Andrew

Yes, we has this issue a couple of times, since upgrading to SP4. I could
not reproduce it though. We just has to re-run MRP for all items.

Subject: [SYSTEM21]   User Licenses

Does anyone know how to tell how many System 21 licenses are available on a
machine?  We have two iSeries machines (test and production) running JBA
System 21 and have allocated our total purchased licenses between the two
machines.  However, we've lost track of how many purchased licenses we have.
Unfortunately we're hitting the limit on our production machine and would
like to re-allocate some of the licenses from our test machine to the
production machine.  Also, is this something we can do, or does GEAC have to
perform this function?

Help!!!
