GNM_SLM_Syndication_General_Configuration_TS

• 1. .Introduction

     1. Purpose

The document GNM_SLM_Syndication_Configuration_FS.docx is the functional specification that describes what features SLM has in relation to the general configuration of the system.

This document is one of a set of technical specifications that provide details of how those functions are implemented in RCS.

• 1. Scope

This document focusses on the reference data that is not specifically related to redistribution contracts. Separate documents deal with the other aspects of the system’s configuration.

This document is intended as a high-level technical document outlining how the relevant business functions are implemented in terms of software modules.

Importantly, this document does not aim to provide the level of detail that would be required in a programming specification in areas such as program structure, detailed business rules, data integrity, validation, locking considerations, data security, and calls to/from other software modules, performance considerations, and so forth.

For details of program logic and coding, the reader should refer to the program files themselves.

• 1. .Screens

When each Oracle form is opened in SLM a window title applicable to that screen (or the mode it is running in) is read from the MODULES table and is displayed. (On the development databases this title is prefixed with details of the environment to help distinguish development and training environments from the live system.)

The “Screens” screen lists all SLM screens, including all the physical screens and also the logical variations of those screens, and allows the user to maintain the screen title and the URL of the help page for the screen. This screen is accessed from the menu option:

Syndication → General configuration → Screen names

This opens the Oracle Form named rcs_modu_010_pc.fmb as shown below, but in a mode that only shows the SLM screens.

This screen is only accessible to RCS administrators.

• 1. .Users

The Users screen in SLM is used to manage all SLM login profiles. This screen is accessed from this menu option:

Syndication → General configuration → Users

This menu option opens screen rcs_user_010_pc.fmb but running in a mode that only shows the syndication users’ login profiles, as shown below:

This screen is the same physical screen as that used for RCS logins and so its workings are not repeated here c.f. the RCS User management screen documentation.

This screen is only accessible to RCS administrators.

• 1. .Syndication parameters

SLM has a number of configurable parameters. The parameter names and values can be viewed in the Syndication parameters screen, and the values can be modified. The screen is accessed from this menu option:

Syndication → General configuration → Syndication parameters

The parameters displayed above should be self-explanatory.

This screen is only accessible to RCS administrators.

.

• 1. .Cancelation reasons

If a request to licence content cannot be (or is not going to be) fulfilled by issuing a licence then the request gets cancelled.

The Request rejection/Cancelation reasons screen lists all cancellation reasons that the user can choose from when cancelling a request. This screen is accessed from the menu option:

Syndication → General configuration → Cancellation reasons

This opens the Oracle Form named rcs_crea_010_pc.fmb as shown below.

The checkboxes on the right hand side control what type of correspondence gets issued after a cancellation – if any at all.

This screen is only accessible to RCS Administrators.
