R⋆STARS Training ManualR⋆STARS Training Manual
Chapter #1
Introduction
In 1989, the State of Oregon (Oregon) acted on then Secretary of State Tom McCalls recommendation for a more integrated and centralized accounting system and established the Statewide Financial Management System (SFMS) Steering Committee. For the next four years this committee evaluated the financial management needs of the state and the organizations best suited to assist the state in meeting those needs.
After a lengthy selection process, the state chose KPMG Peat Marwick to provide the computer software and implementation services for the accounting and reporting system. This software became the Relational STatewide Accounting and Reporting System or R⋆STARS. This system is designed to interface with other systems that impact accounting, such as purchasing and payroll. Due to its size and complexity, Oregon implemented R⋆STARS in phases. Implementation began in March of 1995 and was complete in December 1997.
In addition to R⋆STARS, Oregon purchased another KPMG Peat Marwick product – the ADvanced Purchasing and Inventory Control System or ADPICS. This program provides the capability for On-line, real-time access to purchasing, receiving, and payment and interfaces directly with R⋆STARS.
Both R⋆STARS and ADPICS are part of the Statewide Financial Management Application (or SFMA). Today, the SFMA is maintained by the Statewide Financial Management Services (SFMS) section of Financial Business Systems (FBS). FBS is a subdivision of the Enterprise Goods and Services (EGS) Division of the Department of Administrative Services (DAS).
KPMG Peat Marwick brought a long history of professional excellence to the SFMA project. KPMG Consultants assisted SFMS in the implementation of ADPICS and R⋆STARS. The R⋆STARS software is being used in a number of states including Arizona, Maryland, Michigan and the District of Columbia to name a few.
The PRIMARY goals of the R⋆STARS training program are:
◾ Creating Confidence in the use of R⋆STARS – It is common for people to have some fear and skepticism when Learning a new computer system, especially one as complex as R⋆STARS.
◾ Familiarizing the user with System Features – R⋆STARS is a complex system with numerous features that will be unfamiliar to users at the outset. This manual will familiarize users with the “basic” system features and operating procedures.
◾ Understanding the “Language” – All systems have terminology unique to that system and R⋆STARS is no different. Being able to use the system terms is essential for performing operations so that users can ask questions and understand instructions.
The SECONDARY goal of the R⋆STARS training program is to provide technical instruction. Although it is important to know technical information about R⋆STARS, it is also important that users are successful with the primary goals outlined above.
SFMS utilizes the following training methods in a computer lab training environment:
◾ Lectures – Since the class is composed of students taking various courses simultaneously, lecture type instruction is limited.
◾ Hands-on Exercises – Most of the R⋆STARS training is Hands-on exercises. Training courses have been designed to give users the opportunity to learn by doing. The courses are self&45;paced with no specified time limit.
◾ On-line Interaction – During the training users will be asked to interact with the system. This is designed to give users as much exposure to the system as possible.
◾ Instructor Assistance – The instructor is available at any time during the training session to assist users in the exercises users will be required to perform during users training time.
R⋆STARS has several components. A key feature is the ability for different parts of the system to interact with each other. The graphic below depicts these different components.
The following are the basic steps showing the user how to log into R⋆STARS:
Step 01: Once the mainframe emulation program has started, the first screen that should appear on the computer screen is pictured below.
Note: The following instructions demonstrate using the standard R⋆STARS screen emulation. The instructions regarding the web-enabled R⋆STARS screens appear later in this chapter.

Menu Screens |
|
The Menu Screens are used to access other types of screens in the system. Each listing on a menu has an assigned function key. On the menu, users can press the respective function key to go to that screen. |
|
Profile Screens list the valid codes that can be entered in data element fields for transactions and inquiries. Some of them also establish system controls that impact data entry, reports, and On-line inquiries. The system looks to profiles to edit information entered into the system. Examples of Profiles include D02 Agency Profile, 28A Transaction Code Decision Profile, D11 Agency Object Profile, and 26 Program Cost Account Profile (PCA). See chapter #2 on Classification Structure in this manual for additional information. | |
|
Transaction Screens are used to enter financial transactions into the system. They include the 500 Batch Header Entry screen and specific Transaction Entry screens, depending upon the kind of transaction. An example is the 505 Pre-Enc/Enc/Expend Transaction Entry screen. See chapters #5 and #6 on Entering Transactions for more information. | |
|
The Reporting/Inquiry Menu allow users to look up information on-line. They include document (specific transaction) and financial (summary) On-line inquiry screens. See chapters #12, #13 and #14 on On-line Inquiry for more information. | |
Reporting Screens |
|
Reporting screens allow you to order and distribute off-line printed or electronic reports. See Chapters #3, #9 and #10 on Reports. |
Help Screens |
|
Help Screens not only explain errors, but also provide information needed to correct the errors and, in some cases, provide lists of valid codes. See chapter #7 on On-line help and #8 on error correction. |
System Mgmt Screens |
|
System management screens are centrally controlled and are used to define the users ability to access and utilize R⋆STARS according to their specific roles. They are also used to set and control system parameters, titles, dates and other elements necessary for system operation. |
Before discussing methods of navigation in R⋆STARS, it is important to examine the layout of R⋆STARS screens. All screens in R⋆STARS have:
◾ The Screen Identification Number in the upper left-hand corner
◾ The Screen title
◾ A List of Functions Keys available for that screen
With a few rare exceptions, each screen also contains a LINK TO: field for quick and convenient access to a screen using the screen number.
Pictured below is an example of the Agency Profile screen that illustrates the location of these screen components.

One method of navigating in R⋆STARS is to use the Menu structure. Each menu has the following elements:
◾ Function Key Designator (in parenthesis) used to identify the function key needed to make the selection on the menu
◾ Screen Identification for the menu selection (used in Link and Interrupt functions described later)
◾ Screen Title
Step 01: If you are not presently at the Main Menu, press the Pause/Break or Esc key until it appears (Screen: S000 ‑ Menu ID: MAIN).
Step 02: From the Main Menu, press the function key that corresponds to the destination. In this example, press F5 to go to the Profile Maintenance Menu (Submenu ID: PR).

In this section users will learn the more advanced methods of navigating in R⋆STARS. Instead of working through the Menu Tree, users can go directly to a specific screen. Two terms that users need to be familiar with are Linking and Interrupting.
◾ Users use Linking to simply move from one screen to another.
◾ Users use Interrupt when they wish to move from one screen to another but intend to eventually return to the original screen.
To use the Linking function, enter the Menu, Submenu or Screen Identification in the LINK TO: field and press ↵ Enter . R⋆STARS will go directly to that screen. See the example below:
Screen Title |
Screen ID |
The following steps take users through the process:
Step 01: From the Main Menu (MAIN), press the Home key. The cursor will to move to the LINK TO: field.
Step 02: Type 28a in the LINK TO: field and press ↵ Enter . The 28A profile screen will display.
Step 03: Press the Home key to move the cursor to the LINK TO: field.
Step 04: Type d10 in the LINK TO: field and press ↵ Enter . The D10 profile will display.
Step 05: Press the Home key to move the cursor to the LINK TO: field.
Step 06: Type d02 in the LINK TO: field and press ↵ Enter . The D02 profile will display. This is the final destination.
Users use the Interrupt Function when they wish to look-up information on one or more screens and return to their original screen with all the original information intact. They enter the Screen ID in the LINK TO: field as before and press F9 -INT (interrupt) rather than the ↵ Enter Key.
See the demonstration of Interrupting below – going from the D02 profile to the D42 Project Number Profile and returning to the D02 profile.
Step 01: From the D02 profile press the Home key and the cursor will move to the LINK TO: field.
Step 02: Type d42 in the LINK TO: field and press F9 -INT. The D42 profile will display.
Notice the word “ACTIVE” has appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. This indicates that the Interrupt function is now operating.
Step 03: Press F9 -INT. The system will return to the D02 profile.
Notice that “ACTIVE” has disappeared from the screen indicating that the Interrupt function has ended.
Interrupt and Link To functions can be combined for moving to several different screens and return to the original screen.
The steps below show a combination of linking and interrupting from the D02 profile to a number of other screens and then returning to the D02 profile:
Screen Title |
Screen ID |
Step 01: From the D02 profile, press the Home key. The cursor will move to the LINK TO: field.
Step 02: Type d42 in the LINK TO: field and press F9 -INT. The D42 profile will be displayed (“ACTIVE” appears in the upper left corner of the screen).
Step 03: Press the Home key. The cursor will move to the LINK TO: field.
Step 04: Type 28a in the LINK TO: field and press ↵ Enter . The 28A profile will be displayed (“ACTIVE” remains).
Step 05: Press the Home key. The cursor will move to the LINK TO: field.
Step 06: Type d47 into the LINK TO: field and press ↵ Enter . The D47 Grant Number Profile will be displayed.
Step 07: From the D47 profile, press F9 -INT. The system will return to the D02 profile screen (“ACTIVE” disappears from the screen).
Note: Certain activities (e.g., creating a batch header) cannot be performed while in interrupt mode. If users attempt an unauthorized activity, they will receive error code: Z41 - CANNOT PROCESS - INTERRUPT ACTIVE. They will have to press function key F9 -INTER(rupt) again to return to the original screen.
Following is a list of frequently used keys and what they do.
Not all keyboards have the same layout. If the keyboard is not configured in the way described below, ask for assistance from a supervisor or from technical support personnel.
|
↵ Enter |
On screens where function keys are not assigned – when users press this key, the system will take them to the next logical screen or function. On screens where function keys are assigned, they should be used instead. On these screens, ↵ Enter acts as a “return” key and should only be used for input in large multi-line fields (e.g., notes, item descriptions, etc.) Pressing the ↵ Enter key will move the cursor to the first enterable position on the next line. | |
|
Home |
This key returns the cursor to the LINK TO field (or in the case where there is no LINK TO field on the screen, the first enterable field of the screen). | |
|
Tab ↹ |
Moves the cursor to the next enterable field on the screen. | |
|
⇑ Shift Plus Tab ↹ |
Moves the cursor back one enterable field on the screen. | |
|

|
Ctrl Plus End |
||
|
← Backspace |
Deletes a single character to the left of the cursor. | |
|
Insert |
Cancels the overtype function in a field (default). Allows existing characters to be “pushed” to the right as new characters are typed into the field1. | |
|

(Arrow Right) moves the cursor to the right one space2 | |
1If users are attempting to type and the cursor is not moving, check to
see if the Insert key is on. When Insert is active and the field is full, it will not allow any more characters to be
typed. | ||
There are two ways to log off in R⋆STARS.
Step 01: From most screens in R⋆STARS simply type quit in the LINK TO field and press ↵ Enter .

SFMS in conjunction with the DAS Shared Application Maintenance & Support (SAMS) developed web-enabled R⋆STARS screens accessible through the internet for Production and Acceptance Regions. Web-enabled screens went active in Production Region on September 22, 2008. This enhancement was requested by R⋆STARS users who were not comfortable using the current “green screen” technology and wanted a type of “facelift” to the system that was more user-friendly.
The web-enabled screens can be accessed by using the following web sites:
Production Region:
https://columbia.das.state.or.us:3045/CICS/WSFM/DFHWBTTb/FSYS
Acceptance Region:
https://columbia.das.state.or.us:3075/CICS/WSFM/DFHWBTTb/FSYS
Just as with standard R⋆STARS screens, access to web-enabled screens is limited to those with the necessary security. Desktop I.P. addresses and net names must be identified and authorized for users to access R⋆STARS through the firewall.
Only basic data entry and inquiry screens were created in web-enabled form. More R⋆STARS screens may be added to the program later depending upon user response.
Clicking on the site above will bring up the following screen:
Step 01: Enter your RACFID and password:
Step 02: Click the Submit button or press ↵ Enter on your keyboard. The following screen will appear:
Step 03: Click the Continue button. Keyboard entry is not available for this screen. The following screen will appear:
Step 04: Enter the appropriate User Class and click the Enter button or press the ↵ Enter key.
The News Display screen will display next.
Step 05: Finally, click the Enter button or press the ↵ Enter key one more time to get to the main menu.
Once you have logged in, you can place the mouse on the Main Menu box and drag it across and down to click on the screen you want. You may also enter the menu ID or screen number into the Link To: field and click or press ↵ Enter just like with the standard screens.
As was mentioned before, not all screens available on the standard emulation screen are available on the web-enabled screen. There are 22 total screens: 8 profiles, 6 inquiry screens and 8 Data Entry related screens.

With a few exceptions, mouse buttons relate directly to a specific keyboard key, e.g. the ↵ Enter key, any of the 12 function keys, or the Pause/Break key (identified as Clear–Exit ). The buttons or the keyboard can be used interchangeably.
The Linking and Interrupt functions work the same on the web-enabled screens as they do on the standard format.
To Log off from the web-enabled screen, just continually click on the Clear–Exit button or press the Pause/Break key until you see the following window:
Click Yes and the internet session will terminate.
