Accessing Millennium

To begin an Millennium session, you must first log on to the system. This is done by entering a known User ID and Password. The system identifies the kinds of data and the functions that you have permission to view and perform.

User ID and Password

When Millennium is installed, your system administrator establishes account credentials for each Millennium user. The credentials include a User ID (often the initials of the operator) and a Password. This information should be secure, and only you and the system administrator should have access to your credentials

This task is accomplished through Millennium User Maintenance under the User Security item of System Upkeep in the Tools World and it is mirrored in SQL administration functions.

It is important to note that a User ID (login) and password cannot only be entered into SQL Administration and then be expected to perform appropriately in Millennium.

Each User ID and Password can be as many as 30 alpha or numeric characters. Some punctuation or special characters are acceptable (such as an underscore "_" or pound sign "#"). Spaces are not permitted.

For Oracle sites: the Password is not case sensitive and can not start with a number. Start with a letter and follow with any letter, number or special character of '_', '#' or '$'.

The User ID that is entered in the Log On form identifies the operator to the system. All data that is entered or edited is "tagged" with that User ID for referencing or auditing purposes. Also, all preferential settings that are available in Millennium (Sorting and Filtering definitions, Defined Displays, Default Data Insert forms and so forth) are stored with the User ID. This means that each time you log on, your own preferences are remembered and imposed. And in the Reporting World, the User ID is used to assign "ownership" of report criteria.

For Oracle sites: since Oracle requires that a User ID be in uppercase, the system will automatically translate lower case characters that are entered in the Log In form to uppercase before submitting to the database.

The system holds a User ID's log on information in cache for the duration of that user's Millennium session. This information includes the workstation location from which the user is working. Therefore, you should not attempt to use the same User ID to log onto multiple sessions of Millennium simultaneously, either from the same or from different workstations. You may log on to simultaneous sessions from the same workstation if you use a different User ID log on for each of the sessions.

Example: From the same workstation, you could log on as user AAA and then also log on user BBB. But you should not log on twice as user AAA (or any other User ID) using different workstations.

One element of your institution's contractual agreement with Community Brands HoldCo, LLC. (Community Brands) is based on the number of users who access Millennium at your site. If the system detects that you are out of compliance with your contract, a warning message is given during the log on process, advising each user to contact the system administrator to correct the situation with assistance from Community Brands. A grace period allows users to continue to access the software and data, but ultimately, the system must be brought into compliance. See Registration Information.
