| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
As part of the Legacy Software Shut Down process,
IFCAP, Engineering (AEMS/MERS) and Equipment/Turn-In Request options that
change the database will be disabled. Only read access to the database will
be allowed once the site comes up on CoreFLS. Although putting a string in the
OUT OF ORDER MESSAGE field (#2) can put the option offline, it seems
preferable to also inactivate the option by putting "S XQUIT=1" in the ENTRY
ACTION field (#20). There currently is not a supported Kernel API
specifically for editing the ENTRY ACTION field. Management has previously
instructed our team not to edit the application routines in order to
inactivate the option.
Specifically this request is to permit PRCL namespaced code to file "S
XQUIT=1" in the ENTRY ACTION field of selected options of these three legacy
packages using supported FileMan (FM) database server APIs. Before filing the
new value, the existing value will be extracted via a FM supported API and
stored in the LEGACY SOFTWARE SHUT DOWN file (#449.1) so that it is available
if needed. In the remote possibility the the site temporarily needs to resume
business activity in the legacy systems, it is also requested that the
software be permitted to restore the original value for each entry again using
supported FM APIs. [Note: The software is also filing of an Out of Order
Message using the supported OUT^XPDMENU() API.]
