Systems List

The G/L Move Systems List will indicate what Powerschool atrieveERP products a customer has. It also lists the directory where the data files are located. Before a GL Move can be run, a systems list must be created. The first time a user runs the system list program, the list will automatically be created based on information stored in the PRD or TST LOGIN.COM files. This program should be run from a BAS account. When run, the program will scan the system using the current system configuration and automatically fill in as much of the systems list as it can. If the systems list has difficulty finding a directory for a specific product, the directory will be left blank next to the product name and the system will be flagged as not active. These lines must be manually added, and the directory information filled in before this system may be activated.

Note: The systems list must only be created once, and only accessed again if modifications to directories are required, or a new product has been added.

Note: In this example, the product CRS does not have a directory specified and is not active. The directory information for this product must be entered before the CRS files can be updated through the GL Move process.

Product

• Enter the name of each atrieve product in use.

ID

• This field is required for OPS systems. A unique ID code must be made for each payroll in use.

Data Group

Data files for each product may be stored in a different disk and directory. BAS and OPS allow their files to be further distributed using what are called data logical groups. All systems use the logical group number 0. OPS uses groups 0 and 1. BAS uses groups 0, 1 and 2.

An entry must be made in the systems list for each system for each group. (e.g. Each payroll must have 2 entries in the systems list, one for group 0 and one for group 1.)

Directory 

• Enter the directory where the data files for this product are stored. This directory can be found by going into the desired system main menu, quitting to the DCL dollar prompt ($) and entering the command:

        $Show LOGICAL SRB$prodDATgroup#

      where 'prod' is the system name. (e.g. OPS)

          where 'group#' is the logical group number (e.g. 0)

         e.g. $Show LOGICAL SRB$OPSDAT0

Active

New entries may be added into the systems list, but they may not be removed. If a system is added to the list which is not wanted, it may be deactivated so that the move process will bypass it. 'Y' indicates that the system should be processed, 'N' that it should not.
