Functions (PA-APP)

Data Retrieval

When you run your report, the logical database loads the personnel data for each applicant into the main memory and makes it available for processing.

The entire history of each infotype is loaded into the main memory, that is all infotype records from the lowest to highest system date.

The data for the previous applicant number is deleted when you select another applicant number.

Authorization Check

The logical database executes an authorization check for applicant data.

It checks whether the master record of the user who starts the report contains the authorizations for the data that is to be read in the report.

A distinction is made between a person and a data authorization.

The system first checks whether the user has an authorization for the applicant in accordance with the criteria of organizational assignment. Employees for which the user has no authorization are not evaluated.

The system then checks whether the user is authorized to process the infotypes of the specified report. A list would be meaningless if the data were not evaluated completely.
