FOCUS Programming
Programming services are provided for departmental users seeking
access to centrally maintained administrative information or
assistance in building and maintaining their own departmental
data base applications. Approximately
500 files
are maintained using the FOCUS data management system.
Requesting Access to FOCUS files: The FOCUS Data Access Request Form
The procedure to follow when requesting access to a FOCUS/VM online system or other data file is:
-
A DATA ACCESS REQUEST FORM must be completed and returned to the address noted above.
-
All DATA ACCESS REQUEST FORMS are logged and sent on to the designated User/Owner of the data for approval.
-
Approved access for FOCUS/VM systems are processed with five working days of receipt of approval. As with the CICS systems, a CMS PASSWORD, which is given to each individual CMS account holder, provides a first level of security. In addition, specific accesses to the system or file are enabled by the
FOCUS Administrator upon authorization by the University Computer Security Officer and the User/Owner of the system or file. Accesses are reviewed regularly to determine the need for continued access.
