Discussion of the Source Code

This software did NOT come with BPCS or any other packaged software. BPCS comes with a Menu Generator where we can add our own CLP and other programs to be options from these menus.

Most sites need to have menu(s) for IT users for easy access to into about what's doing on our system that we ought to know about.

We can DSPLOG then F4 but there is grave risk of drowning in information we not interested in, thus as we identify those entries in the log of greatest interest to us, we can place them in a program such as this. Remember that when you are in DSPLOG or a sub-set of it like this example, you can cursor on any line and F1 for more info, including the message # that this kind of program needs to know to be included.

This CLP/400 program checks the System Log for events related to Security problems; when was the last successful backup; File Size Churning that may call for us to tweak the file dimension standards.

Note that there is a ceiling on how many scenarios you can put in one picture this way, so make your selections wise ones. Of course you can always have different menu selections for different kinds of scenarios that interest you.

Naming Conventions Clarification

BPCS security has been rewritten for various versions to apply lessons of the evolving needs of 400 computer security.

BPCS security in Version 405 CD is heavily dependent on the first few characters of software names, so that groups of people are authorized to do certain function sets in certain applications. So this drives naming conventions for additions to the collection of software.

No ordinary user may access SYS system stuff.

SYSCMD is an exception at http://www.globalwiretechnologies.com/ whose software prefixed SYSCMD is that which anyone who is authorized to have Green Screen command line access, which are IT staff and some system helpers.

Here is the Source Code
