System Client 0000

An AE system's client 0000 is also referred to as the system client. It is used to administer system-internal objects and central settings. Some settings affect all existing clients if there are no local specifications that have been made. Only the administrator is authorized to make modifications and extensions.

Overview

When you log in to the to the system client for the very first time, you use the following login information:

• User name: UC
• Department: UC
• Password: UC

This user has all authorizations and privileges. For security reasons, it is recommended to change the password immediately.

Note: When you have logged on, you can create new clients and their first users only in the system client. Then you use the button or the context menu command Move and assign the users to the related clients. Users that have sufficient rights can create all other users directly in the relevant client.

The system client 0000 includes many system objects such as attribute dialogs, calendars, headers and trailers for jobs and variables. You use the variables to configure your AE system. Other important system objects are the ERP_LOGIN that contains the central login information for SAP and PeopleSoft, and the individual Agent objects.

The following folders are available:

• ATTRDIA

  Attribute dialogs for file transfers and jobs, see Modifying Object Attributes

• CODETABLE

  Code tables for file transfers and jobs, see Code Tables (CODE).

• CONNECTIONS

  Connection (CONN)

• DIV_VARIABLES

  Various variables, see List of VARA Objects for System and Client Values

• EX_VARIABLES

  Variables for agents, see List of VARA Objects for System and Client Values

• HEADER

  Header Includes for jobs, see Include Objects in Headers and Trailers

• HOLIDAY_CALE

  Calendars that include holidays and other useful calendar keywords, see Calendars (CALE)

• HOST

  Objects of the installed agents and standard templates

• HOST_VARIABLES

  Variables for computers, see List of VARA Objects for System and Client Values

• PREP_PROCESS

  Event jobs, see PREP_PROCESS

• RA_SOLUTIONS

  RA Solution objects, see Rapid Automation

• RESTART

  Restart Includes for jobs, see Includes (JOBI)

• STYLESHEETS

  Stylesheets for XML reports, see Style Sheet (XSL)

• TEMPLATE

  Templates for objects, see UC_OBJECT_TEMPLATE - Object Types and Templates

• TRAILER

  Trailer Includes for jobs, see Includes (JOBI)

The system client has a monitoring function. Therefore, you cannot run objects in it. It includes the following additional functions that can be used to administer your AE system:

• Administration perspective 
  The users category contains all the AE system's users. This includes that you can process data and interrupt sessions from one central point. The Client category is only available in the system client.
• Process Monitoring
  Lists the activities of all clients depending on the specified filters. For clarity reasons, the Users column also contains the related client number.
• Search
  It is only in the system client that you can search for Server objects and Agent objects.
• Selective Statistics
  You can use this function's numerous settings in order to search for statistical records across clients.

Objects in Client 0

Certain objects contain data that is required by executable objects. For example, Connection and Login objects, which contain the necessary credentials and logging data that Job objects need to communicate with the target system. Or Calendars and Time Zones, which provide time frames that allow developers and object designers to build accurate schedules and time conditions.

These objects are created and maintained centrally in Client 0 by users with specific privileges. However, they are available in the Combo Boxes of all other Clients, provided the users have at least Read rights to those objects. It is also possible to open Client 0 objects in read-only mode from other Clients. For more information, see Using AWI Combo Boxes.

Client 0 objects can be referenced in scripts in other Clients.

Important!

• Do not move the folders that contain the objects supplied with the Automation Engine. Objects of system Client 0000 will be deleted when you update your system regardless of where they are stored in the folder structure. A new folder structure will be created during the updating process that includes the supplied objects. This means that you cannot permanently change this part of the folder structure.
• Note that searching and selecting Agent objects and Server objects will only be successful in the system client.
• If you delete or rename an object in the system client, the system will not check whether the affected object is also used in other clients.
