View/Change Partitions

Preceda can be partitioned for access purposes and has no effect on the data itself, only access to the data. This function must be run for the Security Profile to take effect.

Prerequisites

  • Security Profiles

Rules and Guidelines

  • When creating Security Profiles, parameters are setup that require the data within Preceda to be partitioned for access purposes.
  • This partitioning has no effect on the data itself but is only used to access the data.
  • If setting up Security Profiles for the first time or changing any parameters for a Security Profile, the Process Partition Changes job must be run before the changes become effective.

Field Information

Display the selected Security Profile.

Display the name of the data partition. It defaults from the Security Profile name given and can be changed.

This is the action to be performed for the partition.

Create Partition Where a new data partition need to be created
Change Partition Where an existing partition has been altered

 

Is this the sequence where the job will run? 

  • This defaults to 9999 and would not normally be altered.

 

Is this data partition to be processed now?

  • If selecting Y, the Process Partition Maintenance process must be run immediately after this process.
