ActionWare Technical Note
AM953 -
Program To Change Activity Target Users
Introduction
This administrative
program will change the Target user on all pending activities for a given
user. It is expected that this program will be used when an
ActionWare user leaves the company and their planned TODO's for the present
and future need to be moved to a new Target user.
Initial Setup
Source code for AM953 is distributed as
member ZAM953 in file QMODSRC in the ActionWare base library AW4.
The Source member ZAM953 must be copied and
renamed to AM953 to QMODSRC in the library to be used,
normally AW4L.
Compile program AM953. Here is one suggested method.
Starting from the ActionWare
main menu, select option 1 for the ActionWare tools menu. Select option
1 to
work
with the program members in source file QMODSRC. Locate
program AM953, enter option 14 then press F4 to prompt for paramaters.
Press F10 for Additional Parameters, then page down once, locate the parameter
"Type conversion options", and change the value from the default of *NONE
to *DATETIME. Press enter to submit the compile.
Check that the compile
was
successful by either looking at the successful completion message in
your message queue, or by viewing the printer spool file created by the
compile.
Usage Notes
AM953 changes the target user on all pending
activities for the "extisting user" to the "replacement user".
If there are any
pending Followup Activities where Target & Author are required to be
identical, AM953 will also adjust the Author on the
activity.
AM953 does not update the Activity
Archive file (ACTH), or the activity version #.
If you wish to see in advance what
activities will be changed by this program, use the Pending Activity List
from the General Reports Menu using *AVAIL, *END date options for the user
ID to be changed.
AM953 creates a printer log file to record the changed
records.
How to run AM953
Call AM953 from the command
line at the foot of the ActionWare main menu for the database containing the
activities to be
changed.
It requires 2 parameters on the
call command:
(1) Existing Target User ID,
and
(2) Replacement Target User ID.
The actual command
to be entered is:
CALL AM953 (ExistingUserID ReplacementUserID)
To review what was changed, view or print the spool file.
