Distributed OperationThe ICAM System is designed to be used in a distributed manner. The system lends itself to operation in a distributed environment in three significant ways. Management of
the
system can be distributed to the various operational areas using the system.
Each operator will be able to access applications and view and change only
the parts of the various databases under their authority as assigned by the
ICAM system manager. All operators have their own menus and access files.
The menu file assigned to an operator defines the set of applications that
the operator can access and the access files determine which fields can be
viewed and updated by the operator.
