CORPORATE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS) - EMPLOYEE DATA TRANSFER
From the CIS main menu, the CIS user selects the Transfer Employee Data option.
The Transfer Employee Data option creates a transaction file of CIS Employee logical file records that have a status flag equal to Add or Change. Each record in the transaction file contains employee badge number, first name, last name, phone number, facility, s u pervisor badge number, organization, job code, and status flag.
The CIS transaction file is written to the Financial System (FS) server ' s temporary file work area. This data transfer is a user requirement for both applications.
From the FS main menu, the FS user selects the Load Employee Data option.
The Load Employee Data option accesses the CIS transaction file from the FS server ' s temporary file work area. The Load Employee Data option processes the input records according to the status flag, initiating different processing logic for Add and Change. The Load Employee Data option loads all attributes from each record to the FS, except the status flag.
As part of the same elementary process, when an employee is being Added or Changed to the FS Employee logical file it also saves the employee ' s pay grade code, retrieved from the Payroll System.
Both applications have a requirement to access a version of the Employee logical file.
