System Administration Responsibilities
Your responsibilities as the HP ALLBASE/4GL system administrator come
under the following broad headings:
* System specifications.
* System security.
This manual describes the procedures for carrying out your tasks as the
administrator of an HP ALLBASE/4GL run-time system. As the tasks
required of an MPE/iX system administrator vary from site to site, this
manual does not attempt to describe any procedures outside the HP
ALLBASE/4GL run-time environment. Refer to your MPE/iX manuals for
information on those procedures.
System Specifications
HP ALLBASE/4GL allows centralized definition of some system-wide items.
These centralized definitions ensure consistency across all applications
on the system.
HP ALLBASE/4GL gives you facilities to define system-wide formats for
dates and decimal numbers, the currency symbol, screen display
enhancements, and some aspects of the MPE/iX operating environment.
You will probably need to set most of the system-wide parameters only
once, when you are setting up your HP ALLBASE/4GL system.
System Security
System security means controlling access to the HP ALLBASE/4GL system,
and the applications contained within it. The HP ALLBASE/4GL system
administrator controls all aspects of system security. This includes:
* Assigning names to end users.
* Assigning user passwords.
* Defining the list of authorized users for applications and
versions.
* Defining passwords for applications and versions.
* Securing (limiting access to) items within application menus.
* Assigning database access parameters.
These facilities are additional to the security facilities provided by
MPE/iX.
