How to Logon to USAS and Access the Main Menu
About this Procedure
This logon procedure provides access to all Uniform Statewide Accounting Projects in one format. USAS access is provided through VTAM/Switch, a telecommunications software package with concurrent session switching capabilities. VTAM/Switch essentially eliminates the requirement to disconnect or logoff an online application to establish a session with another online application.
User Requirements
To logon to the USAS system, a user must have a user ID and a password. Users without a user ID may obtain one by establishing security clearance through an agency Security Coordinator as detailed in Chapter 2 – Security.
- Enter USAS at the Texas map screen.
