Navigation:
Click the Build button from the Assign Rules page of the User, Role, or Permission List components.
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Build Security Rules page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Note: You should create a run control process to perform a regularly scheduled build to enhance system performance and to update your information.
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Process Type |
Select Build to build the security rules to the security tables. Select Delete to delete existing values in the security tables. |
As of Date |
The system provides the current system date by default. This value drives the effective date processing for selecting the rule assignments. The Build process uses the most current effective dated rule assignment for a user/role/permission that is less than or equal to the As of Date. |
Field Name |
Select a specific field in the Field Name list. If this field is blank, the Build process builds the values for all of the fields in the rule assignments. |
Note: The Build process uses the effective date to indicate the rule or rules used in the Build process. Only one set of rules resides in the flattened tables. Therefore, the Build process ignores any other effective dated rows. You must run the Build process on the day of the future dated row to put a future rule into effect.
Use the Security Build Request page (SEC_BUILD_REQ) to schedule and run the Build process.
