– Access to UNIX
– Login Code
–Important: Used by BAAN To Perform Logic
–Session Authority
–Sales/Purchase Order Types (user default)
– Password
–Cannot See On Screen
– System Administrator

–Therefore most users don’t see UNIX
BSHELL Startup Menu
BSHELL Error Messages
– Unauthorised user, etc.
– Always inform your system administrator
Ref: 24
From Logging On to Working
Advanced Bshell Configuration
– Key Mappings
– Automatic Loading Of Sessions at Bshell Start Up
– Default Timeslice Per Process (‘fair access to processor’)
– Maximum Number of Instructions to be Handled Simultaneously(ie. maximum concurrent sessions)
– etc.
