The Application Characteristics Table (ACT)

After the product has been installed and you have set up your System Options Table (SMRT), you need to define the applications that your users will be accessing. The characteristics for these applications are defined in the Application Characteristics Table (ACT). The values that you specify in the ACT determine the way the product and users interact with the applications.

You can maintain more than one Application Characteristics Table for a system, but only one of them is used at startup. By maintaining multiple tables, you can quickly and easily change application characteristics by changing the name of the ACT specified in the startup procedure. You also can test changes that you make to your application characteristics before implementing them permanently.
