Current System

When a user signs onto CA Ideal, that user is automatically associated with a CA Ideal system as described in the following section, Selecting a System.

Selecting a System

A system is a collection of application programs and the developers and users associated with it (as the CA Ideal Administrator assigned). You can only display, edit, run, and so on, programs, panels, and reports in the current system.

If you are associated with only one system, that system becomes the active or current system upon sign on. If you are authorized to use more than one system, the first system (alphabetically) is selected as the current system at sign on. To select a different system at any time during the session, enter the SELECT SYSTEM command.

Note: You can only select a system that was assigned to you and for which you have at least one authorization. For more information about defining a user and assigning systems, see the Administration Guide.

You can also include the SELECT SYSTEM command as part of your signon procedure. For more information about SELECT SYSTEM command, see the Command Reference Guide.
