Resource Selector (SMC915)
A new Resource Selector (SMC915) program was created to add resources to FACTS. To use this program you must with proper permissions set in Security Maintenance. You can add a single resource or multiple resources at one time. You can utilize the program’s drag and drop capability to select a single or multiple resources from a system that supports drag and drop and dragging them onto the grid of the Resource Selector or the list box of the Resource Manager (SMC910) program. When files are dropped onto the grid, all resources are flagged according the resource type settings in the header.
Company Control F/M (SMF920)
Company Control F/M (SMF920) was modified to contain a Base Resource Directory name field on the Security/Settings tab to enter the default resource directory. If the resource directory does not exist the user has the option to create it. If the user chooses not to create one, the field is cleared. The creation of the directory is completed on the validation of the field, even though the user can exit the record without saving. The Resource Manager program will ultimately be responsible for the integrity of the resource directory structure.
Two new programs were introduced to add metadata.
Resource Type F/M (*SMF006)
The new program Resource Type F/M (*SMF006) was added to allow entry of resource types for the SMRTYP table metadata. The type is used in the SMRLOC file. Any resource that does not specify how it is to be opened will use system help as a default. The target in the system_cmd line will be designated by {filename} and replaced at runtime.
Resource Metadata F/M (*SMF005)
The Resource Metadata F/M (*SMF005) program allows entry of data for SMRSMD metadata file. This file is used to determine the name of the directory where this entity file’s resources are kept, and which entity files are associated with this entity file. The Resource Manager (SMC910) SMPRMT variable needed for each key field will be calculated and shown. The Sync character for SMUSED file and a description is also included.
