Is there any way to generate a comprehensive listing of programs that are invoked from an interactive application’s exit bar?
I work for a biopharmaceutical company that's regulated by the FDA which means security for our ERP system needs to be thoroughly controlled and documented. As part of this, I’m required to identify any exit bar security granted through interactive applications. For example, that a user can invoke P41026 (Location Revisions) from P41026 (Item Branch) using the exit bar. Unfortunately, I’ve found out that JD Edwards comes up woefully short regarding this.
I can manually view exit security for any interactive application using the security workbench (P00950 - Exit Security). But that only shows the exit name without any program ID. I need the exit program’s ID to identify any conflicts it may have against the user’s straight application security for that same program. In addition to this shortcoming, the security exit names are frequently inconsistent with the exit names displayed in the applications exit bar. To make matters even worse, some of the exits displayed don't even appear in the application exit bar!
I've called JDE on the issue and they stated that there's no cross reference function that covers the exit programs. They informed me that the Security Workbench extracts the exit security information during its read operation in real time. No table is referenced.
The JDE Tech did put in a SAR request on my behalf, but alas, it was quickly rejected as an unnecessary enhancement.
This all basically means that I'd have to manually go to each program one-by-one and export any exit security to Excel, go back into each interactive application and invoke each exit identified in order to get the program ID, and then create my own cross reference for the FDA. The sun will burn out before I complete this!
Any ideas?
