| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
The Legacy Software Shut Down project will be
converting the IFCAP, Engineering (AEMS/MERS) and Equipment/Turn-In Request
packages to Read-Only as part of the site's coming on line with CoreFLS.
Scheduled options, especially those which may alter the database, must be
removed from the OPTION SCHEDULING file (#19.2). This request is to permit
PRCL namespaced code to remove any entries in the namespaces of these legacy
packages from file 19.2.
Specifically it is requested that the Legacy Sofware Shut Down software be
permitted to extract via supported FileMan database server APIs, the current
value of most fields of the entry to be removed so that they can be stored in
the LEGACY SOFTWARE SHUT DOWN file (#449.1) in case the values are needed
later. The TASK ID field (#12) and the computed TASK DEFIND field (#99.1),
however, will not be backed up. The request further asks for permission to
remove the entry from file 19.2 via a ^DIK call. Finally, in the highly
unlikely event that the site must temporarily resume using these packages,
instead of CoreFLS, for business activities, it is requested that the software
be permitted to create a new entry in file 19.2 to reschedule each of the
affected options. This again would be accomplished through supported FileMan
APIs. TaskManager, not this software, would establish the value for the TASK
ID field.
