Auto Security

Access this screen through MNMAST #10-Activate Auto Security.

The CU*BASE Auto Security feature is designed to save time and keystrokes for credit union staff, especially those who are in and out of many different CU*BASE menu options during the day.

In a nutshell, when Auto Security is activated, the Employee ID and password are entered automatically whenever a menu option is selected. Access to menu options is still controlled by the security settings attached to that ID; the user simply doesn't have to type it over and over again.

Considerations

Activating Auto Security

1.   From the MNMAST menu, choose option #10 “Activate Auto Security.”

2.   When the Employee Security window appears, enter your employee ID and password as usual.

3.   Press Enter again to continue.

From this point on, whenever you choose a CU*BASE menu option, the system will automatically “enter” that same employee ID and password for you to determine whether or not you have access to the commands. You will not see the Employee Security window again except when performing certain special commands from within other CU*BASE screens (like the F14-Name&Addr function in Inquiry or the F14-Unpost Batch command in G/L posting, etc.).

Deactivating Auto Security

1.   From the MNMAST menu, choose option #11 “Deactivate Auto Security.”

2.   Press Enter to continue.

From now on you will need to enter your Employee ID and password manually every time a menu option is selected.

Purging G/L Files and Check History Files

Because the General Ledger files sometimes retain an OBJECT LOCK until the CU*BASE sign-off is performed, we recommend that everyone signs off of CU*BASE before this purge is processed.

Use the iSeries command to   COPY the file you are going to purge to provide a backup file in QUERYxx.  For example GLHIST can be named GLHIST2 .  This way you have the option to copy back this file without losing any G/L data.  Once the purge is completed successfully and verified, the copied file can be deleted.    

If you are accessing this screen while purging general ledger or check history files, you can answer "Yes" to this question to run the purge between BOD and EOD.  Enter a "Y" and press Enter.  This will take you to one of the purge screens (GLHIST, GLBALA and CHKMS).
