Adding and Updating Actor Context Properties

Use this procedure to add or update a context property. Context properties are the key fields that you designate to be available for setting up actor contexts. See the documentation for your application to find out what key fields are suitable for context properties.

To add or update an actor context property

At a Landmark command prompt, type

secadm actor ctxproperty add|update dataArea keyField isPervasive true|false userModifiable true|false serviceName

where

Option Description
add Add a context property.
update Modify a context property.
dataArea The data area for the context property.
keyField The key field that defines context property. The key field name is case-sensitive and the key field must be a valid key field within the data area.
isPervasive true|false

If set to true, the user's actor context value will be used as follows:

  • If the context value is for a context property (key field) that is an Enterprise Group field, then the context value will be used to filter data for the user. The primary example of this is the HROrganization field that is used in Infor HR Talent.

If the isPervasive flag is set to false, then the use of the actor context value depends on the specific security class rules that may apply.

userModifiable true|false Set this to true if you need to enable users to switch from one context to another. For example, if you have users who need to view multiple HR organization data, you can set this field to true to enable them to switch their HR organization within the Infor Rich Client.
serviceName The name of the service that the context property applies to. By default, it is blank for the Landmark service.
