We are currently running on an AS/400 and 3 cirtrix server farm. Everything is running exactly as desired and expected when it come to printing reports via pdf.
I work on the analyst side of the system (finance) just so you know the level of your background.
A new environment is looking to be added to which certain users at some of our companies will have access to. I personally don't like this for a number of reasons, however that is the decision that's been made so it's time to work with it.
The issue I have is restricting the ability to print from this environment. We can't completely cut off the ability to print but I need to be able to prevent users from printing a check or Purchase Order from this environment and I also need a way to force some form of identification that the report/document was printed from the test environment (like a watermark saying TEST or something) so a report isn't accidentally submitted to management from the test environment as opposed to the live environment.
Ideally at the printer select page in JDE, I like it to force it to use a specific "paper style" or something like that.
As it's environment specific, doing it at the report level is not feasible.
My main concerns is auditor requirements, jsox issues and possible fraud.
How do other companies deal with this (or do you just trust in your users). We've never opened up a test environment to regular users previously and they have always been restricted to analysts etc.
