After each operation on Process Library, a statistical record ‘PL’ is generated. This record
reports the details of operation performed. Connect:Direct provides two permissions, Process Library
Read and Process Library Update, via authorization bit mask (ABM) to control user operations on
Process Library. User with Process Library Read permission can perform List and Get operations on
Process Library while user with Process Library Update permission can perform all operations – List,
Add, Delete, Rename and Get, on Process Library. User without either of these two permissions will
not be allowed to perform any operation on Process Library from Connect:Direct.
Note: In addition to
above permissions, user must have proper authorized access via external security to Process Library
dataset to perform operations.
