Upgrade requirements for users of shared General Ledger environments

For customers upgrading to pxiPronto Xi version 740 or higher, note that three new environment variables are now in use for shared General Ledger environments.

These environment variables have been added to provide greater flexibility when creating shared Chart of Accounts and General Ledger Hierarchy structures in a multi-company environment.

These are:

• SYSGLCHART

  General Ledger Chart of Accounts structure.

• SYSGLHIER

  General Ledger hierarchyIn Analytics Dashboards, regular dimensions contain descriptive and business key information and this information is organised into a hierarchy; from it's highest level of granularity, to its lowest. The hierarchy contains multiple levels. For example, a hierarchy that has three levels such as "All Products", "Product Group", and "Products". structure (levelIn a hierarchy, a level indicates a group of common or related members. For example, in a Time level, members may include Year, Month, Day or Fiscal Year, Calendar Year, etc.).

• SYSGLCLASS

  General Ledger hierarchy structure (class).

You will need to review the current settings of the SYSDATA and SYSGLDATA environment variables and make changes according to the following:

• If SYSDATA is set

  SetSYSGLCHART for each company that is linked to the same SYSDATA location.

  This can be the same location as the current SYSDATA location, or a new shared location.

  The SYSDATA environment variable will be deprecated from pxiPronto Xi version 750.0.

• If SYSGLDATA is set

  Set SYSGLHIER and SYSGLCLASS for each company that is linked to the same SYSGLDATA location.

  This can be the same location as the current SYSGLDATA location, or a new shared location.
