System Management

System Management is used to set up System Defaults and perform basic System Maintenance. Security Passwords are entered here and therefore only High Level System Managers should be allowed in this module.


Some entries may be password protected for security. If a password prompt appears, type the password, and press <ENTER>. 


There are help messages at the bottom of every screen. They are usually located under "Entry Options" and change from prompt to prompt. (Example:  If you don't know a particular code, type a <?> and press <ENTER>. Use the <PAGE UP> and <PAGE DOWN> keys to scroll through selections, if applicable. Type in the Selection Number and press <ENTER>.)


Some Menu sections have additional on-screen instructions. Those items that have the Menu Help have the Menu number highlighted. To view the Menu Help:  At the Menu with a highlighted number, enter a <?> plus the number of the menu item that is highlighted (example: <?1>) and press <ENTER>. Then type the letter H and press <ENTER>. When viewing the help you have the option to Exit (pressing the X key), Print (pressing the P key) or Downloading the help instructions to a file (pressing the D key). Use the arrow and page keys to scroll the help if there is more than one page.


You have a variety of ways to lookup an item (example: Customer Number, Account Number, and Part Number). Please refer to Lookup/Select in the General Help section in Procedures, on various ways to lookup information. At all Entry Screens you may Edit, Save or Delete. Please refer to Entry Options in the General Help section in Procedures, on various things you may do at "Enter Selection."


The file that contains the archive backup of the USER-COLDSTART is accessed at TCL: SORT SYSTEMFILES,USER-COLDSTART-ARC. The second to the last item from the bottom is usually the good item. To retrieve type the following:
