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.

This page includes the following:

Overview

When you log in to the to the system client for the very first time, you use the user "UC" (department and password are also "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. For more information, see List of VARA Objects for System and Client Values. Other important system objects are the ERP_LOGIN that contains the central login information for SAP and PeopleSoft, and the individual Agent objects.

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:

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

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