Administration of Books

Administration of Books is a new module, which is important for books inserting of particular data modules. It has been created for better clarity and easier entering of particular data modules. In present days it is able to create the modules Service, Internal documents, Reminders, Cashes, Marketing, Bank accounts, Projects, Purchase, Sale and Payroll payables in administration. The function is in tree menu Administrator - System - Administration of books.

For the work with Administration of books it is necessary to have the right Service administration, which you find on the 5th page of user Administration / General.

Administration of books has compared to "old" book (Books of warehouses, Books of assets) the advantage that you can create books with the abbreviation longer thank 2 signs. You can distinguish the books according to partner office (e.g. firm "Service - Ostrava" and "Service - Prague" (see picture)).

Administration of clients

There are two clients preset in the program, these are DEMO client and INIT client. In the DEMO client, there are introduced the demonstration data for individual K2 modules, where the user can practice the K2 functionality. The client INIT does not contain data, because it serves to create a new client. Administration of clients serves for creating new clients and for maintenance of the existing databases by means of K2.

The list of clients you can see on the page 0.

Picture: The Administration of clients form - book

The first page of the form is different for editing an existing client and another for creating a new client by using the Insert key. When editing the existing client, only the description can be changed (the abbreviation must remain the same, because the databases and directories are named by it).

pic_1561

Picture: The Administration of clients form - page 1 in Change mode

When inserting a new client, the check boxes are displayed on the form. They can be checked arbitrarily. Users who work and manage K2 only from K2 must check all fields.

Picture: Inserting a new client - Ins

Selected fields description:

Create directories

If this checkbox is checked, a directory with the same name as it is specified in the Abbreviation field is created in the main K2 directory.

Create SQL database

If it is checked, the database is created on the server. A name of the database consists of the master database name and the client abbreviation. [Database K2 entered at installation] _ [Client abbreviation].

Import data from directory

If it is checked, the data from the selected directory will be imported into the created database. All "*.des" and "*.hes" files of all data tables must exist in this directory. The files for creating INIT and DEMO databases are delivered with the K2. INIT serves for the creation of a new real company, DEMO can be used for testing on data which are prepared by the company "K2 atmitec s.r.o." All "*.des" a "*.hes" files has to be placed in one directory. The directory can be changed by using Change directory button.

After pressing F2 key, the changes are saved and actions selected by the user are executed. The user is informed on currently running actions by means of dialogue boxes with the client creation progress. It is not possible to work in K2 during this time.

Clients - 2nd page

The buttons for presetting directories and databases of the given company are available on the 2nd page of the Clients form. This buttons are started when creating a new client.

Note: To work with this page it is necessary to set the right Administrator - Clients - Client, page 2.

Picture: The Administrator of clients form - 2nd page

This page is accessible in the Browse mode only. It can be used, for example, when you create a new client by means of Insert key, enter the Abbreviation and Name fields and save the changes. On the 2nd page in Browse mode you can set the required data, i.e. the first line of buttons (Directories, Databases and Data Import) has the same meaning as check boxes on the 1st page.

Buttons Description:

Directories

After pressing the button, a subdirectory DATA, which is saved in the directory called "CLIENT ABBREVIATION", will be created.

Database

After pressing the button, the empty tables will be created on SQL server. After only creating the SQL database, the client is not working.

 

If you want to import the data to a new client, a database must be firstly created by means of this button and then the import can be carried out.

 

Note: To create the SQL database, the user logged onto Windows must have the rights of SQL administrator.

Data import

Data are imported from the set directory to the client, providing that the data exist in "*.DES" and "*.HES" files format.

 

When creating a new client, it is recommended to use data from the INIT directory. If you need to change the set directory, use the Change directory button and select another data source.

OLAP support

The database called FIRM_DM will be created on SQL server. The database will serve as OLAP support.

Add to login window

After pressing the button, the client name will be added into the options of Client drop-down menu in the login window of K2 system.

Procedure of data copying from one client to another:

Other recommendations:

K2 IS presupposes rather that users are assigned to a client which they will work with. If one user is to work with data of more clients, it is recommended to enter the user with more names. The main advantage is that the different rights can be assigned to a user for each client.

It is important to prohibit users from Administration of Users right what prevents from changing users' rights, and Switch over the client right to prevent them from logging into a different client than that is preset for the users.

Note: If you have any ambiguities about the definition of the client, please, contact your consultant.

Task scheduler

Advantage is that the actions in Task scheduler run on application server and so the users can sign to it from any place and without K2 running. You can check the tasks from any K2.

Administration of objects

Function Administration of saved objects is determined mainly for work with Filters (Class TxFilter). The main purpose of this function is display of invalid filters and their editing. In addition to filters, other objects that can be deleted, edited, moved among levels and checked are also loaded here. The function is in tree menu Administrator - System - Administration of objects.

If a user has set the right Service actions (Administrator - General), all objects available for that user will be loaded and displayed here. In case a user does not have the right Service actions, program usually uses container for a current user upon default list of all objects loading. The buttons Invalid objects, Initialize and the functions Remove inconsistencies and Conversion rules under the Tools button are approachable just for the users who have the right Service actions.

After you run the function, the form Saved object manager, where (in dependence on set right Service actions) all accessible objects will be displayed.

The Initialize button runs the function Initialization, which is a part of required K2 initialization after re-installation. Function Initialization makes the control and automatic correction of invalid objects of some classes. The button is accessible to user with Service actions right.

After pressing Initialization button, the file AlterFields.unknown.xml will be created in user directory. Unknown fields as (OldFields) and their data modules (DataMClass) are placed here. This file can be re-named, copied into {MainPath} and used as a base for Conversion rules.

Tool button

There are 4 functions under the Tools button: Remove inconsistencies, Conversion rules, Export and Import.

Remove inconsistencies

After reinstallation to the higher version, it is possible, through the action Remove inconsistencies, to find and remove invalid records from the tables ObjRow, ObjStorage and ObjAssign, in which the configuration objects (eg. filters, columns) are stored.

When the action is complete, a log containing a log about the found problems is displayed. Each object, that is evaluated as an invalid or unnecessary object, is saved into a directory, which name is specified in the log, before deletion.

pic_4531

Picture: Remove inconsistencies - the log of found problems

Conversion rules

The Conversion rules button serves for editing the contents of {MainPath}\AlterFields.xml file. Conversion rules enables to define a couple of identifiers <old ProgName, new ProgName> for classes of data modules. File can be actualised either by Object manager editor in or by copying. These information can be used by Initialization function for an automatic correction of some invalid objects. The classes TxFilter/Selections and TxGridColumns/Columns as are supported.

Conversion rules enables to correct some objects automatically in case that it is really possible to replace one identifier by the other.

pic_3780

Application statistics

Application statistics enable you to monitor numbers of runs of monitoring actions. A monitoring action can be any transaction, computer action, script or a report. It is possible to monitor how intensive is the use of particular function or system customization. E.g. it is possible to hold all running scripts and reports and better to prepare for an actualisation for a new version. It can be statistically used for increasing the efficiency of investment into the system.

The you can see in evaluation by means of dashboards who and when the function was used.

By using the application statistics at the same time you agree with sending the particular sample of anonymously statistical data (without identification of users) into K2 atmitec company. In those data there are no specific or even delicate information, just statistical information about usage of particular functions. These data are then used for optimalization of K2 applications or services connected with them.

Reinstallation

If text fields are changed or cancelled during conversions, the full-text key is automatically cancelled to avoid errors during the execution of conversion SQL queries. After the conversion is complete, the version initialization is run. The initialization tries to recover the cancelled full-text keys by definition in K2: Administrator - set fulltext keys, function 778.

Fulltext key recovery can be a time-consuming operation that is performed on the SQL Server background. Keys are therefore available for query only after the operation is over in the background.

If an error, that can be caused by missing fields in the fulltext or by changing the primary key of the table, occurs during the restoration, the error is written into the log in the SetupLogs\repairfulltext_(client).log. file. The mentioned incorrect fulltext keys need to be checked and corrected, see the chapter Fulltext keys setting.
