Selection fields

Dimension SET definition maintenance (ASTD1304)

The purpose of the Dimension sets is to be able to define account structure and generate Account part dependant objects at any time. The account definition is not connected to company generation. This gives you possibility to setup account structure and generate account part dependant objects without having to generate a company. When generating a company you will be forced to enter a Dimension set that is going to be used. At this point you can change the description of the account parts, if desired.

Note: This enables you to re-use the Dimension sets for, not only different companies, but also for multiple installations.

Note: Valid Dimension sets are 1 to 9. Dimension set number 0 is the base dimension set, meaning the account part dependant objects default, as they are compiled at DC1 PD.

Create account part dependent objects/dim set (ASTD1305)

On this panel you are able to start the actual creation of Dimension dependant objects. The entries in the Dimension dependant object table (SRODDO) will be compiled into a specific library.

Note: The library names that are displayed depends on what life cycle you are generating for. For example, when generating dimension set 1 for life cycle Development (D) and release XXX600A, the library name will be XXX600AD1.

Note: To be able to fully utilise this possibility, you must make sure that Dimension dependant object table is updated, i.e. run Create account part dependant object table from the INSTALL menu.

Dimension set code
Displays the selected Dimension set number. Note: Dimension set 0 is reserved for DC1 Base.
Action mode
Enter the mode in which the process should be run. Valid entries are:

1 = Add. Only objects that are not already compiled will be processed.

2 = Replace. All objects including FRFDIM will be re-compiled.

xxxx library
The name of this field differs depending on the life cycle. The following apply:

If on life cycle D:
Development library		 If on life cycle I:
Integration library		 If on life cycle Q:
Quality library		 If on life cycle C:
Customer acceptance		 If on life cycle P:
Production library

Enter the name of the library in which the objects should be stored. The library name will be defaulted according to DC1 Release 6 library naming convention. It is recommended to keep the default name. However, it can be changed.
