MKS Implementer 2006 Administration Guide

Implementer supports three paths in the IFS structure:
Project relative path is the portion of the path that is unique to each object in the
environment path. For example, \SUBDIR\PROGRAM.EXE.
Glossary
Environment path is the path specified at the environment level and common to all IFS
objects in that environment. For example, \MKS\DEMO\PRD\INVENTORY.
Full path is the environment path appended to the project relative path. For example,
MKS\DEMO\PRD\INVENTORY\SUBDIR\PROGRAM.EXE.
NOTE Avoid confusing the term path with the term application path, which refers to
both standard and emergency paths for projects and environments.
PeopleSoft World data dictionary element A data dictionary element refers to records in a
dictionary for every field used in the system. This file controls how a field performs and edits

PeopleSoft World user-defined code (UDC) User-defined code is a generic table system for
data field validation. The table system is controlled by three keys: System number, Table
name, Element.
