1699.0. "GPC Customisation" by ZPOVC::LCLEE () Mon Nov 02 1992 14:39

    Hi there,
    
    
    Appreciate if anyone can give me some info on why all the FMS forms for
    ALL-IN-1 GROUP CONFERENCE has "N" set in MODIFY field. Does it mean
    that customers are not supposed to make any customisation to the GPC
    subsystem? What will be the outcome if they do by just changing the
    flag to "Y" using a script so that they can still be able to modify
    these items?
    
    
    Just want to confirm this such that the customer will be get into
    trouble if they were to carry on with the customisation. Customer is
    currently on V2.4.
    
    Thanks for any info and help.
    
    Regards,
    Lee

    Hi Lee,
    
    Here is an article from the Stars database giving you information about
    customising the Group Conferencing sub-system for version 2.4.
    
    How to customize  GPC forms                                                   
    DATE: 2-OCT-1990                                                              
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
    SYMPTOMS/PROBLEM:                                                             
                                                                                  
    A) Customer gets a message about not being able to modify the GPC forms       
       when they copy it to the developement area for that purpose.               
                                                                                  
    B) There is no OA$SITE_LIB_LLV:SITEOAN$FORMS.FLB created by the               
       installation.                                                              
                                                                                  
    C)  The GPC option, present on the IM menu and the DEFAULT form,              
        opens the library using :                                                 
                                                                                  
            OA$FLO_OPEN OA$LIB_LLV:OAN$FORMS.FLB                                  
                                                                                  
        and does not open the site library.
    
    ANALYSIS:                                                                     
                                                                                  
    GPC forms, scripts, command files can be customized.                          
                                                                                  
    When the CM$SDC elements file have been created for the OAN$ elements         
    the initial condition has been set to Not Modifiable.                         
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
    SOLUTION:                                                                     
                                                                                  
    A) To allow customizations, the system manager needs to do, from the          
       CM - Customization Management sub-system,                                  
                                                                                  
            1.      ADE - Access Digital Elements 
            2.      SEL the element                                               
            3.      AC - Allow Changes                                            
            4.      "Y" to confirm request to allow changes.                      
                                                                                  
    B) Copy from the [ALLIN1.IVPUSER] directory the empty USER.FLB to             
       OA$SITE_LIB_LLV:SITEOAN$FORMS.FLB.                                         
                                                                                  
    C)  Customize the IM and DEFAULT forms to open also the
        OA$LIB:SITEOAN$FORMS

    Under Version 3.0 you can modify the Group Conferencing elements the
    restriction has been lifted.  Here I go putting my foot in it :-), in
    2.4 I think the development team did not set the modifiable flag to "Y"
    in the CM$SDC elements file. Tony if I am wrong correct me and I
    promiss to read your book from cover to cover.
