- DESIGN CONCEPTS
- The principal design focus of the System Control module is the execution of system-wide and module-wide parameters based on each company's unique software environment and hardware requirements.
The System Control module is used primarily by the database administrator for initializing, maintaining, and updating a customer's system configuration and user security access. Additionally, this module includes a generalized data import facility and batch processing capability.
FEATURES-
- • Multiple databases and active modules within each user-defined database.
- • Specification of each customer's unique combination of System 20/20 modules.
- • System wide audit capability records the changes in any element in the database according to user specified options.
- • Multiple user companies.
- • Global option for American or International date format.
- • Multiple printer destinations for routing reports to any user-defined printers.
- • Module accessibility can be controlled by communication port (terminal line).
- • Multiple terminal type definition.
♦ Passwords
♦ System configuration defaults
♦ User and function key gr
♦ System security elements
♦ Accessibility to individual menu options
♦ Security restrictions on user access specified by terminals, hours, and/or days of the week- • User-defined menus can include options from multiple modules on a single menu.
- • Multiple level menus are controlled and defined by the user.
- • Process Lock Table prevents execution of simultaneous, but conflicting database update processes.
- • Function Key Groups for defining a specific set of commands for a user's or user group's terminal function keys.
- • Job Stream definition with multiple job step capability and easy substitution of run time variables such as current date, printer destination, company number, etc.
- • Data import facility transfers and converts external data from other software products and performs complete data validation with minimal user intervention.
- • User-defined batch queues for background processing. • Electronic Mail facility which functions in two principal modes:
♦ Send messages to other users - includes the ability to create, review, respond, print and delete messages of any length
♦ Notify users at a customer site of software updates and changes that are applicable to the user's specific area of system access.

System Control functions as a management module for all the modules of the System 20/20 software product. There are no transactions generated between System Control and the other modules; in effect, System Control offers module-wide validation "rules" or format options, which designate the features available within each module.
