Maintain Control Preferences

Control Preferences Program

Select the module whose preferences are to be modified.
The initial Controls will be represented as per the screen in figure 1.

If the selected module has previously failed with any controlled user interaction, the system will not allow for the selected module to be run again until the status has been manually reset. The “Reset Status” button in the toolbar will be active in this case and you will find an explanation of it’s use defined HERE.

Validate old X-ref code – selecting “Yes” means that when the Cross Reference file is either maintained or imported, the OLD Code entered MUST appear in the SYSPRO Code Master file. Selecting “No” means that any Code may be entered, valid or invalid

Audit report setting – selecting “Summary” means that only the start and end of the different processes entered into while replacing records will be written to the Audit file to be reported on as required. Selecting “Detail” means that both the summary (above) and all details of each individual record changed will be written to the Audit file to be reported on as required. If there are going to be many changes, this option will create an extremely large file. Use this option only if necessary in this case.

Code merging – selecting “No” means that the NEW Code entered in the cross reference table may NOT already exist in SYSPRO. Selecting “Yes” means that the NEW Code entered in the cross reference table may already exist is SYSPRO in which case the Replacement Process will merge these two records.

Monitor refresh delay period – this period specified is used by the manipulation process in determining how frequently to update the status information which is used by the Manipulation Status process (See HERE) for frequency refresh rate.

E-mail indicator – this indicator determines how many emails will be sent during the run. “Deactivated” will not attempt to send any emails. “Summary” will only send emails indicating that the run has begun and that is has completed as well as any controlled error conditions encountered. “Detail” will send emails as per “Summary” but will also send two emails per table converted, one indicating that the table conversion has started and the 2nd indicating that that table has been successfully converted.

E-mail addresses – the e-mail addresses that the associated run status’s are required to be sent to

Path location – the folder location to be used for the MAN temporary files durring the process and may be slected as existin on the client PC or the SYSPRO server

Process storage path – the exact path to be used by the MAN process. If this field is left blank, it will be defaulted to the standard SYSPRO\DATA path on the SYSPRO server under which the associated MAN folders will be automatically created annd used accordingly.

NOTE: The abvove Path location and assocated Process storage path may have a speed implication of the MAN processes and it is advisable to use the default SYSPRO\DATA folder. The location and path will be validated when the save button is pressed.
