DDE Screen Changes – March 2
As part of the IT Modernization Project, the CMS Kent Data Center is replacing mainframe-based software products (CA TPX) with CL/SuperSession (CL/SS).
Beginning on Monday, March 2, Direct Data Entry (DDE) users may notice:
- Login screens appear slightly different.
- A new screen for password changes.
- A new pop-up Exit Menu (when you exit from the session selection screen).
- A new option to temporarily lock your screen (from the session selection screen only).
Please review updates to the FISS DDE User Manual (Chapter 1 – Overview) for details.
If you have questions or concerns about the changes, please contact your connectivity vendor.
