Chapter 9 Promotion Rights : Obtaining Promotion Rights to Screens and Reports

Obtaining Promotion Rights to Screens and Reports
To obtain the rights on a screen or report, invoke the Screen Definer or Report Definer with the name of the object and save it. Normally, you obtain the rights automatically when you modify the object; you do not have to make any modifications to obtain the rights. If someone else has promotion rights on that object, a warning message indicates that the rights are held by someone else and that you cannot promote it.
How to Obtain Rights to Screens and Reports
You obtain rights to screen and report objects as described below.
Screen definitions
When you invoke the Screen Definer and save a screen, you automatically obtain rights on the screen definition, the function keys, and the help associated with that screen.
Report definitions
The Report Generator and Rights Assignment
There are no rights assigned to objects created with the Report Generator (reports, rules, and report tables). These can be claimed (that is, saved) using a definer tool. The first time that one of these objects is saved, the promotion rights are assigned to the saver or group. Alternately, the rights can be obtained using the MANAGE_RIGHTS tool. For more information, refer to Chapter 13, Management of Promotion Rights.
After saving a report in the Report Definer, you can no longer open it in the Report Generator. If you want to get rights on a report started in the Report Generator without changing it, use the MANAGE_RIGHTS tool.
