Alternative Maps › Overview

Overview

Alternative maps can be used in any application in which a dialog or program shows different copies of the same map to different users. The use of alternative maps displays an alternative copy of a map to a user if information in the user's signon record indicates that an alternative copy of maps should be displayed.

Each of the following methods for preparing alternative maps is discussed as follows:

• Alternative copies of maps are generated by using the CA IDMS mapping facility.
• Tables of alternative maps are generated and assigned to user signon records at system generation.
