Signon Profile qfiles

A signon profile qfile is a set of commands automatically executed upon user signon to CA OLQ. Signon profile qfiles are user specific and can contain PF key assignments, CA OLQ option settings, SET commands, and other global CA OLQ settings.

How to create a signon profile qfile

Create signon profile qfiles through the IDD, and save the sequence of commands as a named qfile in the data dictionary.

You can use IDD to associate a signon profile qfile with a particular user:

ADD/MODIFY/REPLACE USER ...
INCLUDE SIGNON PROFILE IS qfile-name
VERSION IS version
LANGUAGE IS OLQ

Signon qfiles

The signon qfile is associated with a user and a subschema. Signon qfiles execute automatically when a user signs on to a subschema.

A signon qfile allows you to make the users' jobs easier; you can state the field lists for records, and set the CA OLQ report default options to format reports automatically.

How to create a signon qfile

You create a signon qfile through IDD, and save the sequence of commands as a named qfile in the data dictionary. You then associate the qfile with a subschema through IDD.

Once the qfile is saved, associate the qfile with a particular subschema and define it as the signon qfile for a particular user:

ADD/MODIFY/REPLACE USER ...
INCLUDE ACCESS TO SUBSCHEMA ss-name
OF SCHEMA schema-name
VERSION IS version
 .
 .
 .
SIGNON QFILE IS qfile-name
VERSION IS version

Below is an example of what a signon qfile might look like:

FIELDS FOR EMPLOYEE ARE EMP-ID-0415,
 EMP-LAST-NAME-0415, SS-NUMBER-0415
FIELDS FOR DEPARTMENT ARE DEPT-ID-0410, DEPT-HEAD-ID-0410
FIELDS FOR EMPOSITION ARE SALARY-AMOUNT-0420, SKILL-NAME-0420
EDIT EMPLOYEE.SS-NUMBER-0415 PICTURE=99-999-9999

Keep in mind that this qfile does not limit retrieval; if users wish to modify the field lists after retrieval, they can using an additional FIELDS FOR command.
