Opening Supplemental Resources

1. Access System Management > Supplemental Resource Manager.
2. Specify the Entity File type and Entity Key.
3. Highlight the resource line the in the browser.
4. Select Open.
5. Note: Resources will be opened by the command line specified in the SMRTYP file, or by the SYSTEM HELP command if no entry exists in the SMRTYP file for a particular resource type. ERFs will be checked out automatically when they are opened, and they cannot be opened if they are checked out by someone other than the user trying to open the resource. The resource will be opened on the client to a temporary file in the user’s home directory relative to the client. This home directory is found in the SMZART file. The file will be opened in a “tmp” directory created in the user’s home directory. Any existing versions of the file in the tmp directory will be deleted first. The “tmp” directory will be created if needed. The name of the temp file will be the file name from the SMRLOC record. If the resource is an ERF, it must be checked out first, so you will be prompted if you want to check it out.
