This chapter outlines procedures for setting up Infor EAM to manage physical assets and maintenance
functions more efficiently.
Note: This chapter describes Infor EAM functions that only a system administrator has rights to perform.

Defining installation parameters

Define new installation parameters to tailor the system to your working environment. Set up system-wide
defaults to determine settings such as whether department security is on or off or the number of days
before a password expires for users. Infor EAM installation sets up default values, also known as
"installation codes" or "installation parameters." You can also edit existing installation parameters.
Note: Only qualified Infor EAM system administrators should create installation parameters, with specific
guidance and approval from your Infor consultant. Contact your Infor consultant to create installation
parameters.
To define installation parameters:
1 Select Administration > Security > Install Parameters.
2 Click New Record.
3 Specify this information:
Install Parameter
Enter a unique code identifying the installation parameter, and then enter a description of the
installation parameter in the adjacent field.
Note: You cannot define fixed install parameters or assign new install parameters to a module.

Value
Enter the default value for the parameter.

4 Click Save Record.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 15

System configuration

Understanding entities
Entities are the fundamental core of the system. Configuration of entities and their respective codes
determines what functions of the system are available and to which users. An entity is a table of related
data pertaining to specific system functions.
There are three kinds of entities in the system: Status Entities, Type Entities, and Code Entities.
The system identifies entities as Extended Codes, but they are identified to users as User Codes.
When you install Infor EAM, all Extended Codes and User Codes are identical. Tailor the system to
an organization by adding new user codes on the System Codes form.
Classes divide entities into groups that share certain characteristics. For example, you can subdivide
an entity into classes to define a separate list of custom attributes for each class.

Defining system codes

Define system codes to tailor the system to the entity. You can also edit existing user codes.
Note: Infor strongly recommends creating new classes, rather than system codes, to subdivide Type
entities when possible.
To define system codes:
1 Select Administration > Setup > System Codes.
2 Select the type of setup for which to define system codes.
3 Enter the For Entity for which to define system codes. The entity description is automatically
populated.
4 Click Add User Code.
5 Specify this information:
User Code
Specify a new user code to represent one of the system codes.

System Code

User's Guide.

Defining global text changes

Access the Global Text Changes form to change boiler text (field labels) throughout the system rather
than using screen designer on each separate screen where the boiler text appears. Making global text
changes creates system-wide terminology changes. Any changes made on the Global Text Changes
form are applied to all Infor EAM forms where the specified text appears.
Note: Error messages, function titles, and code descriptions cannot be changed using the Global Text
Changes form.
It is possible to have duplicate texts within the system. Changing one will not affect the other.
To define global text changes:
1 Select Administration > Setup > Global Text Changes.
2 Enter the search criteria in the Dataspy, and then select the record to update. The system
automatically populates Current Text, Original Text, Language, Code, and Last Updated.
3 Specify this information:
Alternate Text

3 Click Where Used.
4 The system displays all screens where the selected record appears.

Defining cost codes

Define cost codes for the organization, and then reference them along with any data involving costs,
such as work orders, purchases, material issues, etc. Charge maintenance costs to the correct area
by specifying cost codes. The cost for repairing a unit air conditioner, for example, might come out of
a particular department’s budget.
Note: Cost codes simplify tracking costs; however, they might hinder data entry because you must
specify cost codes along with the data.
To define cost codes:
1 Select Administration > Setup > Cost Codes.
2 Click New Record.
3 Specify this information:
Organization
Enter the organization to which the cost code belongs if you use multi-organization security.

Cost Code

structure. See your chart of accounts for more information.

4 Click Save Record.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 25

System configuration

Selecting languages
Configure the system to operate in more than one language. This feature is especially useful for
multinational organizations and for companies in bilingual countries, such as Belgium (French and
Flemish) and Canada (English and French).
When the system is configured with two or more languages, these languages will be predefined in the
system. It is possible to define extra languages. Defining other languages is useful when creating
purchase orders, quotation requests, etc., for suppliers in other languages.
To accommodate multilingual transactions, add free-format text in both your own language and in the
supplier’s language. While you can inspect the text in your own language using the corresponding
features, the text in the supplier’s language will be printed on the form that will be sent to the supplier.

Defining closing periods

The system gathers maintenance costs on an ongoing basis. When you are ready to process those
costs, define closing periods. Typically, closing periods occur at the end of every month, although some
companies process transactions on a quarterly basis. When the specified date arrives, the system
freezes all of the relevant data, and a new costing period begins.
Note: Define closing periods just before transferring transaction data to another system for account
processing (general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc.).
To define closing periods:
1 Select Administration > Security > Closing Periods.
2 Click Add Closing Period. The system automatically populates Date Entered with the current
server system date.
3 Specify this information:
Closing Date
Enter the closing date for the period.
Note: Closing Date must be in the past because changes to time sheets, issues and receipts,
purchases, and other transactions cannot occur before the date established by the Closing Period.

4 Click Submit.
Note: You cannot delete closing periods.

Creating and modifying locales

Create or modify locale settings for users. The system supports the locale at the user level, organization
level, and global level (installation parameter). The system automatically employs the locale of the
user. If this locale is not valid, then the system uses the locale of the default organization of the user.
Finally, if that locale is not valid, then the system employs the locale of the global setting.
To create or modify locales:
1 Select Administration > Setup > Locales.

Defining documents
Organizations involved with maintenance have much supporting documentation, including schematics
and drawings, reference guides and user manuals, warranties, manufacturer claims, and delivery notes.
In addition, organizations can store information electronically on computer diskettes, CAD drawings,
CDs, videos, or audiotapes. Infor EAM makes it easier to manage this information by allowing
organizations to store entire libraries of documents.
Assign a code to documents, specify track revision information, and identify the location of the document.
When setting up electronic document files, consult your system administrator before defining documents
to determine if directories have already been set up.

Setting up access to external documents

Set up access to external documents by defining a URL or file path installation parameter for files.
When accessing an external document, the system looks for the URL or file path you have defined as
an installation parameter for a particular file type or category to display the document.
Define the URL or file path as URLxxx where xxx is the value of File Type on the Documents form.
For example, you might enter the code URLPDF to access a .PDF file. Then you would enter the URL
or file path indicating the location where all .PDF files are stored on the web or network, e.g.,
\\mycompany\myserver.com\documents\PDFs. When you access an external document after setting
up access to external documents, the system identifies the document type or category and then opens
the file using the URL indicating where documents of the specified type or category are stored and the
specific File Path you entered on the Documents form. Thus, the full path to the specific document
you wish to access might be \\mycompany\myserver.com\documents\PDFs\PDFattachment.pdf.
Note: The URL can be a path to the web or a directory. You can separate URLs by type, e.g., .DOC
or .PDF or by a chosen category, e.g., Safety (URLSAF) or Vendors (URLVEN).

Defining Flex SQL statements

Define Flex SQL statements to define validation rules that are specific to your organization. You can
set up one or more statements to be processed for post-insert or post-update events.
Flex SQL processing supports data query (select) and data manipulation (insert, update, delete)
statements. Use select statements to perform a check condition.
Uppercase and lowercase characters are allowed in the SQL statement. The row identifier token,
however, must be either all uppercase or all lowercase (i.e., :ROWID or :rowid).
Every Flex SQL statement requires the use of a predefined :ROWID token. This token refers to the
database row identifier for the record being processed in the specified table. The statement is executed
for each record in the table affected by the insert or update operation.
The maximum statement length is 4000 characters. No statement termination character (;) is required.
Data manipulation statements are allowed, but make sure you do not begin an infinite cascading of
trigger steps. For example, generally it is not recommended to create a Flex SQL statement that updates
the base table identified in Table.
Note: Infor EAM recommends that you define Flex SQL procedures in close cooperation with your
Infor EAM consultant.
To define Flex SQL statements:
1 Select Administration > Setup > Flex Business Rules form.
2 Click New Record.

Alert management
Create e-mail and work order alerts to notify users when data in Infor EAM (e.g. equipment) does not
meet a specified criteria. First, create a grid to query data in the system and then use alert management
to determine if the results need to be measured against a min/max setting or if the results alone will
trigger an email and/or work order.
An alert management record can be created to monitor readings that are being imported into Infor EAM
for chillers. The alert record may monitor to see if the difference between supply air temperature and
the return air temperature is >22 degrees when chilled water temperature is <46 degrees and chilled
water valve is open >50%. If all this criteria is met for a chiller then a work order would be created
indicating that a belt could be slipping or the filters may be plugged.
Note: Use the new R5ALERTDATAOBJ table to import records into Infor EAM. Then use Alert
management to analyze the records and create alerts when deviations occur. R5ALERTDATAOBJ
was specifically designed for analyzing data imported from another system related to Infor EAM

Creating parameters for alerts

Create parameters or standard messages for use in substituting values in large text areas such as in
the e-mail message, work order descriptions, and work order comments. By creating standard messages,
the system defaults these messages in the body of the e-mail message, description, or comments.
Example: For an e-mail alert notification the text may read: "HVAC-ROOFTOP-01 has a temperature
of 250 degrees. Please check this equipment by 01/15/2008." To prevent the necessity of entering the
same information repeatedly, create parameters that allow the system to default the same message
for the data-specific items to be pulled from the grid. For the example above, you would enter for the
body of the e-mail: "%1 has a temperature of %2 degrees. Please check this equipment by %3."
To create parameters for alerts:

System security

Define users and users groups to ensure limited, password-controlled access to the system. Increase
screen-level security using interface permissions and Work Order authorization permissions.
Note: This chapter describes Infor EAM functions that only a system administrator has rights to perform.

Implementing multi-organization security (MOS)

Multi-organization security (MOS) is a feature that allows the system administrator to set up separate,
secured, logical databases within the organization. There is one logical database for each organization;
however, there is still one physical system database. To activate MOS, you must set the MULTIORG
installation parameter to YES. See "Defining Installation Parameters" on page 15. After activating MOS,
you cannot deactivate it. Depending on the type of security set up, the system does not allow users to
view or influence data from organizations to which they do not belong.
With MOS, the system becomes more user-driven, rather than user-group driven, making it possible
for users to have different roles. Associate users with more than one organization and establish a
default organization for that user. The system automatically displays the user’s default organization at
login, which can be changed to any organization to which the user has access. To switch organizations
after login, simply log out and log back in as the new organization. After logging in to a specific
organization, users can view and influence data specific to all the organizations to which they have
access and all information defined as "common," which is information accessible across all organizations
and users.
When inserting new records, the system automatically associates the record to the organization of the
current login session; however, users can change the organization to any organization to which they
have access.
MOS replaces facility security. Therefore, if you do not use MOS, the system does not display
Organization on any forms.
Note: MOS affects many system functions, and some sections in the user documentation apply only
to MOS.

The system user "John" is associated with Infor EAM user group 1 and Infor EAM user group 2. User
group 1 is associated with Organization 1 and User group 2 is associated with Organization 2. User
group 1 has full access rights to the Equipment form; User group 2 has query-only rights to the Equipment
form. When the system user "John" opens the Equipment form and queries for an equipment record,
the system displays only records having organizations to which John has access, and each record
retains the permissions of the organization associated with the equipment. Therefore, if the organization
of the equipment is Organization 1, John will have full access rights to the record. However, if the
organization is Organization 2, John can only view the record.
Note: You cannot establish record-level security for the equipment unless the MULTIORG installation
parameter is set to YES.
See "Defining installation parameters" on page 15.
To activate multi-organization security:
1 Select Administration > Security > Multi-org Security.
2 Select the entity for which to activate multi-organization security.
3 Multi-org—Select to activate the entity.
Note: After activating an entity for MOS, it cannot be deactivated.
You can select multiple Multi-org check boxes to activate multi-organization security for multiple
entities.

The system is automatically configured with the R5 user group, which contains one user. The R5 user
group has full access to all functions, including data setups, system setups, and system administration
setups. After installing Infor EAM, change the user password immediately. Only the system administrator
should have access to this user.
Note: After setting up users within a user group, the system administrator cannot delete the group. To

Creating security filters

The system includes the ability for system administrators to create a security filter using the Dataspy.
A security filter enables you to filter which records users can see.
For example, you can create a security filter on the Work Orders form and then assign the security
filter to a user group. The result is that members of the user group cannot see records that are not
included in the security filter. So if the Security Filter is set to display all work orders with a Status of
Released, then when the user opens the Work Orders form, no matter what personal Dataspy or quick
filter they run, they will never be able to see records that have a Status other than Released. Users
cannot disable a security filter.
To create a security filter, select Security Filter on the Dataspy Filter view. Security Filter is only
displayed for users who are in the R5 user group, and it is disabled for system-delivered Dataspies.
For information about basic Dataspy functions, see Dataspy Chapter 1 Basics in the Infor EAM User's
Guide.
After creating a security filter, assign the security filter to a user group. See "Granting Screen-Level
Permissions to User Groups" on page 79.

Granting screen-level permissions to user groups

Grant screen-level permissions for data manipulation. Screen authorization for user groups is critical
to database security and data integrity.
Note: Because even the system administrator can be locked out of Infor EAM, it is important to allow
at least one other person, in addition to the system administrator, permission to the Users form.
To grant screen-level permissions to user groups:
1 Select Administration > Security > User Groups.
2 Select the user group for which to grant screen-level permissions, and then click the Screen
Permissions tab.
3 Click the plus sign (+) beside the menu and/or submenu you wish to view. The system expands the
menu and/or submenu and displays the folders and screens that reside at various levels below the
main menu and/or submenu structure. See "Setting up menus for user groups" on page 80 for more
information about the user group security hierarchy.
Note: Click the minus sign (-) to collapse the menu.

4 Select the screen to which to apply screen-level permissions. Screen Permissions becomes
unprotected.
Note: If a screen has tabs in addition to a List View page and Record View page, select the tab
to which you want to apply screen-level permissions.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 79

System security

Tab Available and Tab Always Displayed become unprotected if the tab is available at the screen
level.
If you select a screen or tab that has system-defined security, certain fields will remain protected.
For example, the Issue/Return Parts screen does not allow deletes. The system protects Delete.

5 Select one or more of the following attribute options to determine the level of permissions authorized
for the user group:
• Query—Select to allow users to retrieve data from the database.
• Insert—Select to allow users to insert new data into the database.
• Update—Select to allow users to update data previously retrieved from existing records in the
database. Users must have query permission to update database information.
Note: If the user group has Insert or Update permissions to a screen, the user group must also
have Query permissions to that screen.

• Delete—Select to allow users to delete data from the database. Users must have query permission
to delete data from the database.
• Tab Available—Select to make a tab available to the user group.
• Tab Always Displayed—Select to display the tab to the user group at all times.
• Security Filter—Enter the necessary Dataspy to prevent the user group from accessing specific
records. See "Creating security filters" on page 79.
Note: When you unselect Query, the system automatically unselects Update and Delete.
When you select Tab Always Displayed, the system automatically selects Tab Available.

Setting up menus for user groups

Set up menus on the Menus page of the User Groups form. Creating a menu structure for user groups
is critical to database security and data integrity. The menu structure is displayed in a tree structure
that extends to four levels—one Main Menu level, two Sub-Menu levels, and one Screen level. The
Main Menu level may contain up to seven items. The Sub-Menu level may contain up to 30 items, and
the items may be a mix of folders and screens. Finally, the Screen level may contain up to 30 items,
but the items must be screens.
To set up menus for user groups:
1 Select Administration > Security > User Groups.
2 Select the user group for which to set up menus, and then click the Menus tab.

5 Drag and drop the screen name into the desired menu structure location on the tree structure. The
system checks the number of screens applied to the menu structure. If less than 30 screens exist,
the system adds the screen to the tree structure and expands to illustrate the level of the screen as
necessary. The system also inserts the screen into the Screen Permissions table and the Tab
Permissions table as necessary.
Note: If you drop a screen into a sub-menu folder, the system adds the screen as the last child of
the sub-menu folder. If you drop a screen to another screen, the system adds the screen directly
below the existing screen.
You may also drag and drop main menu folders, sub-menu folders, and screens within the tree
structure. You cannot make a higher-level item subordinate to a lower-level item, i.e., you cannot
move a main menu folder to the Screen level.

Creating electronic records and signatures

The system allows you to create electronic records, or "snapshots," of events that occur in the database.
A snapshot preserves the entire record, including information related to other database tables, to
provide historical information related to the progress of your operation. For example, a snapshot of a
work order header will include all information on the header as well as the associated activities. The
system also provides the ability to print and export snapshots to external formats such as Adobe Acrobat
Portable Document Format (.PDF).
In addition to creating electronic records of information in the database, you can set up the system to
require an electronic signature to authorize status changes to specific records. The electronic signature
is attached to an entity, and when a system user changes the status of a record based on specific
criteria, the system prompts the user for an ID, password, and a reason for the signature (e.g., review,
approval, responsibility, etc.).
You can also select to associate certifications with electronic signatures to facilitate the proper
authorization of status changes by requiring authorized users to enter a certification number and
certification type when entering their signature, which is required by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) for electronic signatures. The FAAMOD installation parameter determines whether you are
required to enter a certification number and certification type for electronic signatures. If FAAMOD is
set to ON, the system displays Certification Number and Certification Type on the Electronic Signature
dialog box and you must enter a valid certification number and type to sign the record. See "Signing
Records" on page 95.

Defining entities for electronic records and signatures

Define entities to take a snapshot of the record or require an electronic signature when you change
the status of the record attached to the entity. For example, if your organization requires electronic
records of the specific stages of a purchase order, you can define the snapshot for the PORD entity.
Or, if your organization requires electronic signatures of status changes to work orders, you can define
the electronic signature for the EVNT entity. The system takes the snapshot of the record and/or prompts
you (or any user) for an ID, password, and reason when you save the change to the database.
The following table lists the entities for which you can create electronic records and signatures:

Entity Description Information Recorded

EVNT Event Work order, activities, repairable
parts, permits

PORD Purchase Order Purchase order and lines
REQ Requisition Requisition and lines
INV Invoice Invoice and lines

To define entities for electronic records and signatures:

1 Select Administration > Security > eRecords Setup.
2 Click New Record.
3 Specify this information:
Entity
Select the entity for which to define electronic records and/or signatures. The system automatically
populates the entity description.

Signature Required
Select to indicate that the status change requires a signature.

From Status
Enter the old status of the entity.

To Status
Enter the new status of the entity.

4 Click Save Record.

Signing records
Upon changing the status of a record that has been defined as requiring an electronic signature, the
system prompts you to enter a user ID, password, and reason for the signature. The user ID and
password are the same ID and password used to enter the system; however, any person with a valid
user ID and password can sign electronic records, even if they are not physically logged in to the
system. After verification of the user information, the system takes a snapshot of the record and stores
it in the database. If you update multiple records at one time, the system prompts you for a signature
for every record.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 95

System security

To sign records:
1 Open any form requiring electronic signatures for status changes.
2 Query for the record for which to change the status. Status changes can include record insertion,
deletions, or any specific change as defined on the eRecords Setup form. See "Defining Entities
for Electronic Records and Signatures" on page 94.
3 Change the status of the selected record, and then click Save Record.
4 Specify this information:
User ID
Enter the user ID.

Password
Enter the password associated with the user ID.

Signature Type
Enter the reason for the electronic signature, e.g., review, approval, etc. Define signature types for
the ESTP entity on the System Codes form. See "Defining System Codes" on page 16.

Certification Number
Enter the unique certification number for the eSignature. The system automatically populates
Certification Type.

Certification Type
Modify the certification type as necessary.
Note: The FAAMOD installation parameter determines whether you are required to enter a
certification number and certification type for electronic signatures. If FAAMOD is set to ON, the
system displays Certification Number and Certification Type on the eSignature popup, and you
must enter a valid certification number and type to sign the record. The system automatically
populates Certification Type based on the selected Certification Number. Certification numbers
and types are associated with employee records on the Qualifications tab of the Employees form.
The Qualifications tab is not available in Infor EAM for SQL Server.
The system only displays certification numbers and types that are associated with training records
for which the employee is currently qualified in the lookups for Certification Number and
Certification Type.
Additionally, the system associates certification numbers and types with employees based on the
user group of the employee on the Employees form. Therefore, if FAAMOD is set to ON, you must
select a User for each employee who is required to enter a certification number and type when
signing electronic records.

5 Click OK.
Note: If you click Cancel, the system closes the form and does not record changes.
The system does not allow changes to the record without entering an electronic signature. Further,
if you enter an invalid or expired ID and password, or if you do not enter a valid certification number
and type if applicable, or if you do not have status change authorization, the system records an
access violation and the electronic signature will not be recorded. If the number of unsuccessful
signature attempts exceeds the number specified in the SECUVIOL installation parameter, the
system locks the user. Contact your System Administrator to unlock users.

Configuring electronic records and signatures for cGMP equipment

Create electronic records and/or require electronic signatures for work performed on cGMP equipment.
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) are a set of standards established by the United States
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the manufacturing processes of the food,
pharmaceutical, and medical equipment industries.
Many companies have a combination of equipment regulated by cGMP standards as well as equipment
not regulated by cGMP standards. Configure the system to take a snapshot of a record or require an
electronic signature only when the work is performed on cGMP equipment.
Note: To indicate that a piece of equipment is subject to cGMP standards, select cGMP on the Record
View page of the Assets, Positions, or Systems form. See Defining Assets, Defining Positions, or
Defining Systems in Chapter 2 Asset Management in the Infor EAM User's Guide.
To configure the system to create electronic records and/or require signatures for only cGMP equipment,
set the CGMPONLY installation parameter to YES. See Appendix Installation Parameters of the Infor
EAM User's Guide. You must also define the electronic records/signatures for the EVNT entity on the
eRecords Setup form. See "Defining Entities for Electronic Records and Signatures" on page 94. If
CGMPONLY is set to YES and you have configured electronic records/signatures for the EVNT entity,
the system creates an electronic record and/or requires a signature for work orders created/generated
only for cGMP equipment.
Note: If you create a PM route that is associated with a work order containing cGMP equipment, the
system creates an electronic record and/or requires a signature for the work order associated with the
cGMP equipment in the PM route. The system does not create a separate electronic record or require
a signature for each child work order on the PM route.
The electronic signatures for cGMP equipment configuration apply to work orders created/generated
for cGMP equipment using the following forms:
• Work Orders form
• Work Orders Quick Close form
• Service Requests form
• Generate/Release Work Orders form

Granting status change authorization permissions

This chapter provides information about configuring the Infor EAM interface. Personalize the Start
Center by setting up inbox entries, KPIs, and chart controls. Modify the page layout of record view,
detail view, and list-detail view pages.
Note: This chapter describes Infor EAM functions that only a system administrator has rights to perform.

Personalizing the start center

Personalize the Start Center to display inbox entries and KPIs. Inbox entries notify you of changes in
the database, and KPIs measure productivity or efficiency with processes or work-related activities.

Personalizing the inbox

The inbox displays notifications (inbox entries) of changes in the system database on the Start Center.
An example of inbox entries is the number of work orders with associated warranties for which there
have been no claims submitted.
Users can open screens necessary to complete actions or activities associated with inbox entries by
double-clicking the inbox entry. For example, launch the Work Orders form directly from the inbox
entry to approve the work orders requiring approval. A Dataspy entered for inbox entries automatically
searches for and retrieves the records associated with an inbox entry to the called screen.
Inbox entries can be assigned to specific user groups or defined as public entries that are displayed
for all users. After personalizing the inbox, set system privileges for users to modify their inbox by
adding and/or deleting entries and modifying the order and sequence in which entries are displayed.

Setting up inbox entries

Set up inbox entries by identifying the notifications that you wish to be displayed in the inbox. Select a
SQL statement for the entry to query the database for the appropriate information to retrieve to the
inbox. Select an appropriate screen to associate with the entry, e.g., the Work Orders form for an

Defining KPI ranges

Define KPI ranges to specify a High Value and a Low Value for each of the scoring ranges defined
for a KPI.
Specify a Normal Score that corresponds with each high and low value for a KPI range. The system
rolls up the normal score for a child KPI to any parent KPIs when calculating the Current Value and
Normal Score for the parent KPIs.
For example, a child KPI measures the productivity of a production line during a month. The target goal
for the KPI is 200,000 units per month. If the production line produces between 200,000 to 133,333
units per month, the normal score for the KPI is 3, which indicates an excellent score. 133,332 to 66,666
units is 2, which indicates an average score. 66,665 units or less is 1, which indicates a poor score.
Note: You should maintain consistency when defining normalized scores for KPI ranges. For example,
if you define a normalized score based on a scale of 1 to 3 for one KPI, use that same scale for other
KPIs.
Note: You cannot enter a Normal Score if the KPI is a parent KPI.

Screen designer for web service prompts

Modify the layout of screens and properties of web service prompt fields. In addition, you can select
the groups for which the changes apply. While tab sequence and display properties are established
initially on the Fields page for Web Service Prompts, fields can be moved around the screen and
display types can be changed using the screen designer feature. See Screen Designer in Chapter 1
Basics of the Infor EAM User's Guide.
Note: Re-sequencing fields via screen designer may cause the prompt to function differently than the
administrator originally intended. Exercise caution when re-sequencing fields via screen designer.
The following functionality is specific to screen designer for web service prompts:
1 If you have access to the screen designer feature on system delivered screens, you also have
access to screen designer on web service prompt screens.
2 Make screen design changes with caution as certain changes can adversely affect the intended
behavior of the screen. For example, if you move a controlling organization or class/class organization
field to the bottom of a prompt, the system may not display any class-specific custom fields until the
entire prompt has been navigated.

Defining web service prompts

Define web service prompts representing web services and fields rendered on the user-defined screen
using the Web Services Prompt Engine. System administrators can use web services to create
user-defined screens for use within Infor EAM. Web service prompts contain the definitions for these
screens.
The following rules apply to forms for which web service prompts are available:
• The system displays the functions of all system-delivered Infor EAM List View and Record View
pages.
• BSCOMM (Comments) is displayed.
• No user-created screens are available.
The system displays all screens meeting the above criteria if a web service has not been specified;
otherwise, only screens related to the web service will be displayed.
To define web service prompts:
1 Select Administration > Web Service Prompt Engine > Web Service Prompts.
2 Click New Record.
3 Specify this information:
Web Service Prompt
Enter a unique code for the web service prompt, and then enter a description of the prompt in the
adjacent field.

more user groups. These new screens are not visible on the Screens form.

Defining web services for web service prompts

Define the Infor EAM web services available for use on the user-defined screen representing the
selected web service prompt.
To define web services for web service prompts:
1 Select Administration > Web Service Prompt Engine > Web Service Prompts.
2 Select the web service prompt for which to define web services, and then click the Web Services
tab.
3 Click Add Web Service.
4 Specify this information:
Screen
Enter the screen for which to define web services details. The system automatically populates the
screen description.

Tab
Enter the tab to be specified for the selected screen. The system automatically populates the tab
description.
Note: Tab should be left blank if the web service is to be based on the Record View of the selected
Screen.
If the Comments Tab is selected, the system replaces the selected Screen with BSCOMM and
clears the Tab value because the insert, update, and delete Comment web services do not actually
reside on the Comments tab. These web services exist on the Comments pop-up (BSCOMM), a
screen within Infor EAM. Because Comments are generic and can apply to many screens, the
Entity and Record for which the Comments are related need to be entered when inserting, updating,
or deleting Comments using the Web Service Prompt Engine. The system administrator can make
the Entity field ‘fixed’ via Field Type and supply the correct Entity value so that it is not necessary
to enter it with each Comment record. In addition, the Entity field can be ‘protected’ via Display
Type so that users can only enter Comments for the appropriate Entity.

Action Code
Select the action code for the selected screen, e.g., insert, update, delete.

Process Group
Enter the process group for the selected screen. Fields related to the lowest process group will be
displayed first on the Web Service Prompt Engine, and so on. The default value for this field is
based on the INCRLINO installation parameter.

Web Service
Enter the web service for the selected screen.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 127

Mobile Query Code

Enter the mobile query code that defines a list of values that is available for the field.
Note: The mobile device uses the Query Code list of values if an application server connection
exists; otherwise, the Mobile Query Code list of values is used. For example, local data populates
the list of values.

Retrieve Field
Enter the name of the field from which to retrieve data. The system automatically populates Retrieve
From Group–Web Service and Retrieve Field X-Path.

Query Web Service

Enter the query web service. A Query Web Service applies only when defining key field for an
"update" web service. The Query Web Service is used to query the data in the record to display
to the user for possible updates. The system automatically populates Query Field X-Path.

Unmapped Field
Select if specified field is not mapped to any field in web service. The field value can then be
processed further by the Prompt as part of a calculation or retrieved values.

Use Previous Value

Select to use the previous field value.

If Data Is
Enter the Go To condition. This field describes the condition in which the system does not access
the field defined by Next Sequence but instead places focus on the Go To Sequence.

Pattern
Enter the pattern that should be met for the Go To condition.

Go To
Enter the field sequence that the system will follow, versus Next Sequence, if the condition is met.

Clear Previous Values Starting From Go To Target Field

Select to enable the system to carry forward values for fields with Use Previous Value selected,
when the prompt sequence is less than (<) the “Go To” target field sequence. For example, previous
values for prompt fields >= “Go To” target field sequence will be cleared. Otherwise, the system
will carry forward values for fields with Use Previous Value selected, when the prompt sequence
is less than (<) the “Go To” source field sequence. For example, previous values for prompt fields
<= “Go To” source field sequence will be cleared).

Retrieve From Group–Web Service

Enter the web service from which key field values will be returned and used in a subsequent process
group. The system automatically populates Field X-Path.

Computed Data
Enter the computed data for the field when Field Type is Computed.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 131

Interface configuration

Pattern Match
Enter a pattern for Field Type of Alphabetic for which entered data must match in order to be
valid.
Note: The system also supports the following "wild card" characters when defining a Pattern Match:
• . (period): single alphabetical characters, A through Z
• # (pound sign): any single number, 0 through 9
• _ (underscore): any single alphanumeric character, A through Z and 0 through 9
• % (percent): a string of alphanumeric characters
• , (comma): OR condition
• : (colon): THROUGHOUT condition
• ! Any character(s) or numbers(s): data entered should not match what follows the "!" NOT
condition.

See "Defining retrieved values for web service prompts" on page 132 for more information on
referencing the prompt field inside SQL statements contained within Query Code, Mobile Query
Code, and Computed.
5 Click Submit.
Note: To remove a field, select the field to remove, and then click Remove Field. Fields
corresponding to the Controlling Organization for a web service cannot be removed from this
page because they are critical to processing the web service. However, if the web service itself is
removed from the Web Service page, the system automatically removes all related fields including
Controlling Organization.
Note: This page does not display errors if all necessary required, key, or retrieved fields are not
defined for the web service prompt to function properly using the Web Service Prompt Engine. An
error is displayed when the Web Service Prompt Engine processes records with insufficient prompt
fields. An error also displays from the Web Service Prompt Engine if a next sequence is defined
that does not exist within the prompt definition.

Defining retrieved values for web service prompts

Create, edit, and delete retrieved values for a web service prompt. Values can be retrieved from the
database and automatically populated into the Destination field when you enter data into the Source
field. Using retrieved values saves data entry time and prevents potential key stroke mistakes.
A good example for using retrieved values would be when an employee regularly creates a work order
and activity for which they will complete. When the employee enters his or her user name for the work
order Created By field, the system can locate the employee associated with the entered user name
and populate that employee’s Trade on the activity automatically.
Note: Setting up retrieved values requires identifying the Source, the Destination, and the SQL
Statement used to query the information related to the supplied data. SQL statements can be defined
on the Queries screen.

Data collection
5

The data collection module enables you to track the movement of goods for asset and maintenance
management. Define queries using existing Infor EAM data or SQL statements. Use transaction prompts
to define where and in what order the data collection module populates information in the system. View
scanner transactions to be processed and set up predefined jobs. Finally, correct transaction errors.
Note: This chapter describes Infor EAM functions that only a system administrator has rights to perform.

Overview
The data collection module speeds the system acquisition of business information by offering shortcuts
in the form of scanned input, minimized operator activity, and system-generated prompts to guide users
to accomplish a system function quickly. The data collection module reports on the movements and
activities of the organization’s equipment, including recording locations and modifications to equipment,
thus serving as an audit trail for an asset’s lifecycle. The data collection module can be a valuable tool
for businesses seeking to take charge of their serialized assets and to enhance their financial reporting
on difficult-to-manage item movements.
The following diagram illustrates the flow of data to and from the data collection device and among the
system tables:

Defining transaction prompts

Transaction prompts define where and in what order the data collection module populates information
in the system. You can validate incoming data at the field level, as well as at conditional navigation
between prompts.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 147

Data collection

Referring to the data collection diagram, determine what data to enter, in what sequence it should be
gathered, and how to group data for processing to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Define
data prompts for each barcode transaction type.
If you use GIS functionality, you will need to load GIS assets into the system at the system initialization.
Ensure that the GISOBJID is manually assigned for each asset you need to integrate during the system
initialization. These manually assigned GISOBJIDs must have values in a range of 0 to 100,000,000.
The GISOBJID Sequence Generator begins automatically numbering equipment records that are
created through Infor EAM or the GIS system with 100,000,001.
Note: You cannot load a GIS asset into the system with a GISOBJID greater than 100,000,000.

This chapter provides installation requirements and procedures for integrating Infor EAM with GIS.
This chapter documents procedures completed in both theInfor EAM and ESRI GIS systems. As a
result, section headings include (Infor EAM) or (ESRI), if applicable, to identify in which system the
task should be performed.
Note: See "Setting Up Menus for User Groups" on page 80 for information on granting access to the
GIS Map Search form within Infor EAM.
If you have purchased the GIS module and need to install ESRI, see ESRI’s GIS installation
documentation.
The Infor EAM-GIS integration supports both the ArcIMS and the ArcGIS server platforms. However,
certain aspects of the integration differ slightly between the ArcIMS and ArcGIS platforms. The
differences are noted where appropriate within this guide.

Software requirements and pre-installation checklist

• If you previously installed Infor EAM GIS Toolkit in a location other than C:\inforEAM\GIS, e.g.,
you modified the SETUP.BAT file supplied on the Infor EAM GIS Toolkit CD, contact Infor Technical
Support.
• Install Infor EAM GIS Extensions to integrate Infor EAM with ESRI. See "Installing or upgrading
Infor EAM GIS extensions" on page 158 procedures to install Infor EAM GIS Extensions or to upgrade
a previously installed version of the Infor EAM GIS Toolkit to the Infor EAM GIS Extensions.
• If you are upgrading from a previously installed version of the Infor EAM GIS Extensions or are
reinstalling to a new location, the Installation Wizard automatically backs up user-created files from
the toolbar and help directories. The Installation Wizard saves the toolbar.bak and help.bak directories
in the original installation location.

ESRI PRODUCT VERSION 10.0

Infor EAM supports connectivity with ArcGIS 9.3.1 SP1 and ArcGIS 10.0 SP1. Anytime you upgrade
your ArcGIS installation to v10.0 SP1 you are required to perform following steps on the EAM application
server for the GIS integration to work correctly:
1 Open \depconfig\extended_properties.xml.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 157

Understanding GIS integration

Both Infor EAM and ESRI’s GIS should reflect an accurate representation of your company assets.
Link Infor EAM equipment records and GIS features with a GIS object identification number (GIS ID in
Infor EAM GISOBJID in ESRI).
Note: Both SDE connection and direct connection are supported for the Infor EAM to ESRI GIS
integration.
Define user preferences to control how ESRI responds when a user creates new equipment records
within Infor EAM and how Infor EAM responds when a user creates new features within ESRI.
ESRI and Infor EAM create and synchronize corresponding equipment/features based on field mappings
and GIS profiles. The field mappings and GIS profiles ensure the systems populate accurate attribute
data while creating features/equipment.

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 159

GIS administration

Field mappings, which are defined at the layer level, allow users to move or copy specific data from
one feature to its corresponding equipment record or vice-versa, e.g., map the DISTRICT attribute in
ESRI to the Organization field in Infor EAM. The system populates the equipment record’s Organization
with the data contained in the DISTRICT attribute for the feature. See "Defining field mappings for
attributes (ESRI)" on page 173.
Equipment profiles, which serve as equipment templates, can be related to GIS layers. If an attribute
value will be the same for all features in a layer, then the profile can be used to populate this equipment
value, e.g., if the Organization of the GIS profile is Org 1, all equipment/features created based on that
profile belong to Org 1. See "Defining preferences for the creation of Infor EAM equipment (ESRI)" on
page 176, and "Defining preferences for the creation of GIS features (Infor EAM)" on page 177.
Note: During equipment/feature creation, if there are both field mappings and a GIS profile, the system
populates fields based on the mappings first. If you do not define a mapping for a field, the system
populates the field based on the information defined on the related GIS profile.
If a field mapping for an attribute exists, the system always populates the equipment field based on
the data of the attribute, even if the attribute value is empty and the GIS profile value contains data.
The Infor EAM-GIS integration supports both the ArcIMS and the ArcGIS server platforms. However,
certain aspects of the integration differ slightly between the ArcIMS and ArcGIS platforms. The
differences are noted where appropriate within this guide.

Defining equipment for features defined prior to

integration
If you are integrating ESRI and Infor EAM for the first time, move multiple GIS features to Infor EAM
through data collection. See "Defining transaction prompts" on page 147.
Every GIS feature for which you create a corresponding Infor EAM equipment record must have a
GISOBJID number.
Note: If you need to integrate a GIS feature with Infor EAM that does not have a GISOBJID field for
its layer, you must manually create the field. See "Creating GISOBJID fields for layers manually (ESRI)"
on page 160 below.
After you manually create the GISOBJID field for each layer you need to integrate with Infor EAM,
manually enter a GISOBJID number for each feature within the layer. numbers that you manually enter
must be less than 100,000,000.

Creating GISOBJID fields for layers manually (ESRI)

Infor EAM automatically generates GIS ID numbers once the two systems are fully integrated, but you
must manually enter a GISOBJID number in the attribute table of every GIS feature that you want to
move to Infor EAM prior to integrating the systems. For every layer containing GIS features that need
to be integrated with Infor EAM manually create a GISOBJID field.

Configuring the Geoprocessing Service for the ArcGIS server

The Infor EAM-GIS integration supports both ArcIMS and ArcGIS Server. When integrating Infor EAM
and GIS using ArcIMS server, you must create an Image Service on the ArcIMS Server. See ESRI
documentation for more information. If you are integrating Infor EAM and GIS using ArcGIS Server,
you must create a Map Service, Geocoding services, and also a Geoprocessing Service. See ESRI
documentation for more information on creating these services. You must create the Geoprocessing
service using the InforTools.tbx toolbox located in the \arcgisserver\ directory of the Infor EAM GIS
product CD. See "Modifying the GIS installation parameters (Infor EAM)" on page 163 for more information
on enabling communications with these mapping services.

Defining field mappings for attributes (ESRI)

Define field mappings for attributes stored within ESRI’s GIS and Infor EAM at the layer level. The
system populates fields based on the mappings during equipment/feature creation and synchronization.
Note: To define field mappings, you must have OEGGMP permissions. See "Granting interface
permissions to user groups" on page 75.
During equipment/feature creation, the system populates fields based on the mapping relationship,
e.g., to create an equipment record based on an existing feature, map data from a GIS Attribute to an
Infor EAM Attribute. Infor EAM populates the field with the data contained in ESRI’s GIS. You can also
define field mappings based on constant values, e.g., enter a GIS Value of HYDRANT and map it to
the category field in Infor EAM. During equipment creation, the system always populates the category
field with HYDRANT.
During synchronization, the system accesses field mappings to ensure corresponding equipment
records and features reflect accurate data. If there is a discrepancy in data, the system copies data
from one system to the other.
Note: You do not have to define field mappings for a feature’s layer, location X, or location Y. The
system automatically populates these values in the Infor EAM equivalent fields during creation and
synchronization. You may, however, define additional field mappings for these GIS attributes if you
want the values of these fields copied into other Infor EAM fields.
You may map more than one GIS Attribute to a single Infor EAM Attribute and vice-versa. During
creation and synchronization, the system concatenates the data into the single field based on the
Sequence and Delimiter.
Likewise, you can map an Infor EAM Attribute that contains concatenated data into more than one GIS
Attribute and vice-versa. During creation and synchronization, the system parses the data based on
the Sequence. If the system must parse data because one field is mapped to multiple fields, it verifies
that the number of fields to which to map data matches the instances of concatenated data in the source
field. If it does not, the system does not synchronize the data. If, however, the source field in the owner
system contains a null value, the system copies the null value to the multiple fields in the other system,
overwriting any data that those fields originally contained.
Identify a Source system, which controls creation, and an Owner system, which controls synchronization.
The system maps data from the Source system during equipment/feature creation. The system copies
data from the Owner system during synchronization. See the following example.
You define the following field mapping for the Hydrant layer:

GIS Attribute Infor EAM Attribute Source Owner

ADDRESS Description GIS Infor EAM

Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide | 173

GIS administration

During synchronization of the Hydrant layer, the system discovers that a feature with the ADDRESS
attribute of 156 Main Street does not have a corresponding Infor EAM equipment record. The system
creates an equipment record and automatically populates its description field with 156 Main Street
because ESRI’s GIS is the Source.
Later, you update the same equipment record’s description to 256 Main Street in Infor EAM. During
the next synchronization of the Hydrant layer, the system updates the GIS feature’s ADDRESS attribute
to 256 Main Street because Infor EAM is the Owner of this attribute.
Note: The system only compares attribute data for Infor EAM and GIS if the attribute has a defined
field mapping and the Action is set to Copy.
To define field mappings for attributes:
1 Open ArcMap to an existing map.
Note: The map must contain an integrated layer to access the Map Feature Attributes popup.

2 Click Display Map.

3 Select the layer for which to define field mappings.
4 Click Add Mapping.
5 Specify this information:
Source
Select the system from which data should be mapped during equipment/feature creation. Choose
one of the following options:
• GIS
Select to map data from GIS when creating new equipment records based on an existing GIS
feature.

• Infor EAM
Select to map data from Infor EAM when creating new features based on an existing Infor EAM
equipment record.

• Both
Select to apply this mapping when creating new equipment records/features regardless of which
system the object originally resides. The system maps data from Infor EAM when creating new
features and maps from ESRI’s GIS when creating new equipment records.

6 Select the attribute (GIS Attribute or Infor EAM Attribute) from which data should be mapped or
enter the value ( GIS Value of Infor EAM Value) that should be mapped. The attribute or value
should coincide with the source system, e.g., if you selected GIS as the Source system, select a
GIS Attribute of GIS Value to map.
Note: If you select Layer, Location X, Location Y, or Feature Length as the GIS Attribute from
which to map data, the system automatically populates Source as GIS, Action as Copy, and Owner
as GIS.

7 Select the attribute (GIS Attribute or Infor EAM Attribute) to which data should be mapped.

174 | Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide

GIS administration

See the following table to understand the relationship between Mapped From and Mapped To, e.g.,
if you select a GIS Attribute in Step 6, you must enter an Infor EAM Attribute in Step 7:

Mapped From Mapped To

GIS Attribute Infor EAM Attribute
GIS Value Infor EAM Attribute
Infor EAM Attribute GIS Attribute
Infor EAM Value GIS Attribute

Note: For linear features, map the GIS Attribute feature length to the Infor EAM Attribute equipment
length, and then map the GIS Attribute for the feature’s unit of measure to the Infor EAM Attribute
equipment length unit of measure to enable linear equipment capabilities in Infor EAM. You must
create your own GIS attribute in ESRI for the feature’s unit of measure.

8 Specify this information:

Action
Choose one of the following options:
• Copy
Select to copy the attribute data from the Source system.

• Move
Select to move the attribute data from the Source system. After the move is completed, the
data will only exist in one system.
Note: If you select Move, the system protects Owner. Defining an Owner implies the data
exists in both systems.

Owner
Select the system that controls synchronization when a discrepancy exists between a corresponding
feature and equipment record. Data is copied from the Owner system to the field of the other
system.

Sequence
Select the sequence number of the mapping. If you select any number other than 1, the system
enables Delimiter.
Note: You must select a Sequence number greater than 1 in the event that you map more than
one GIS attribute to a single attribute within Infor EAM, e.g., if you map HYDRANT and HYDRANT_ID
from GIS to Asset Infor EAM within , the system must know which data to list first in the Infor EAM
Asset field.

Delimiter
Enter the delimiter value to use in the event that you map more than one GIS attribute to a single
Infor EAM Attribute.

Defining preferences for the creation of Infor EAM

equipment (ESRI)
Define preferences for Infor EAM equipment records that you create from within the GIS system. When
you define preferences, specify the equipment profile that GIS should use to create the Infor EAM
equipment record when you create features in the related GIS layer.
Note: When creating equipment records, the system populates fields based on field mapping. If there
is no mapping available for a field, the system populates the field based on the GIS profile.
Based on the information you enter in the Infor EAM Preferences popup, GIS can automatically create
an Infor EAM equipment record in the same layer as its corresponding GIS feature whenever you define
a new GIS feature. The system will not create an Infor EAM equipment record if the layer of the GIS
feature is not listed in the preferences file.
Note: If you want to save an existing preference file in a different location, relocate the file, and then
enter the new file path in Path To Preferences.
To define preferences for the creation of Infor EAM equipment:
1 Open ArcMap to an existing map.
2 Click ArcEditor.
3 Click the Preferences tab.
4 Specify this information:
Path To Preferences
Enter the file path in which to store the Infor EAM preferences.
Note: ArcMap saves all files as .XML files.

5 Click Add Preference.

Auto-create
Select if you want GIS to automatically create corresponding Infor EAM equipment records for
features that you create within GIS.

176 | Infor EAM System Administrator's Guide

GIS administration

Default
Select if this preference record is the default preference record.
Note: Each profile can have only one default preference record per layer. You cannot select more
than one record containing the same layer as a default record.

7 Click Submit.

Defining preferences for the creation of GIS features

(Infor EAM)
Define preferences for GIS features that you create from within Infor EAM. When you define preferences,
specify the equipment profile related to the layer in which you intend to create the new GIS feature.
The system retrieves the default Layer, Location X, and Location Y based on the preference.
Note: When creating features, the system populates attribute data based on field mapping. If there is
no mapping available for an attribute, the system populates the attribute data based on the GIS profile.
Also specify how Infor EAM retrieves data for the creation of GIS features. There are three ways to
populate data for the creation of GIS features from within Infor EAM: Auto-create, Prompt, and Manual.

Auto-create
If you specify the preference for the creation of GIS features as Auto-Create, when users select a GIS
profile when defining new Infor EAM equipment, the system automatically generates a GIS ID and
populates the default Layer, Location X, and Location Ybased on the preference.

Understanding fleet configuration

Use the Fleet Configuration form to personalize the vehicle ticketing, maintenance, and billing process
for pool, loaner, and/or assignment fleets of vehicles. First, create billing parameters to configure the
point at which vehicle tickets are billed. Next, set up billing schedules to determine the billing end dates
for the period billing process, and create exceptions to include in bills when needed. Next, grant
authorizations to specific user groups for specific vehicle types. Finally, identify fuel, maintenance, and
billing categories.
You must also define cost codes, employees, and assets for use in the fleet management module. The
Cost Codes, Employees, and Assets are not a part of the fleet management module. Thus, see "Defining
Cost Codes" on page 25 for more information on defining cost codes for the fleet management module.
See "Defining Employee Codes" in the Infor EAM User's Guide for more information on defining
employees for the fleet management module. See "Defining Assets" in the Infor EAM User's Guide for

Installation parameters
A

The tables in this appendix display a list of parameters for Infor EAM and the add-on products available
for Infor EAM including the installation code, an example of a valid parameter value, and a description
of how the system uses the code.
Note: This chapter describes Infor EAM functions that only a system administrator has rights to perform.

Understanding installation parameters

During the Infor EAM installation process, installation parameters enable different modules/system
components and establish many default values for your system, such as multi-organization security,
part pricing, etc. Part of the installation process involves running scripts that set these default values
in the Infor EAM database, and many of the scripts contain values known as installation codes or
parameters.
This appendix contains a complete listing of all the installation parameters used for Infor EAM broken
down by modules, as well as codes related to add-on modules and other advanced system features.
Many of the parameters set during installation are "fixed," which means that once the parameter is set,
the value/setting of the parameter cannot be changed or modified. Fixed parameters are also designated
in the tables below.
Unless otherwise indicated, all non-fixed parameters can be set as necessary following the Infor EAM
installation to tailor your system environment. See "Defining installation parameters" on page 15.

Barcode parameters
Barcoding is an add-on module for both Infor EAM (Oracle Forms) and/or Infor EAM that enables you
to design and print barcode labels for assets, parts, work orders, etc.
Set values for barcode parameters according to the following table. For more information on setting
values for parameters, see "Defining installation parameters" on page 15.

off document. If the val-
ue is 3, Infor EAM dis-
ables signing off stock-
takes for parts tracked
by asset.

Miscellaneous parameters
Miscellaneous parameters affect settings that are not specific to any module.
Set values for miscellaneous parameters according to the following table. For more information on
setting parameter values, see "Defining installation parameters" on page 15.
