Select Startpoint Window

 

This window appears when you select Maintain Contents from the Scenario Maintenance Menu

Purpose

This window lists all the Global 3000 startpoints and enables you to select the startpoint for the contents list you want to set up or amend.

 

A startpoint is a process in Global 3000 which can export or import data. A startpoint relates to either data import or export. At each startpoint the stream of information which can be exported or imported is fixed in terms of sequence and structure.
