Security Features [REV BEG]
NOTE The BRWPASSEXIT program is not necessary with SQL tables. The reason for this is that there are no passwords for SQL tables. HP ALLBASE/SQL security is established through access rights set in the HP ALLBASE/SQL System Catalog.
[REV END] Password Encryption HP ALLBASE/BRW encrypts passwords in HP ALLBASE/BRW files. For example, it will encrypt the password of a report specification file. You will not notice this feature when using HP ALLBASE/BRW, as it is designed only to prevent passwords being read by people not using HP ALLBASE/BRW. BRWLIST BRWLIST does not print report specification passwords. $TELLREPORT You can use the parameter $TELLREPORT in your Report Job Files. This is exactly the same as $REPORT, except that it will not display the report lockword/password (if any) for the report. For example, if you displayed the message "Job for report $REPORT started" using the MPE TELL command, both the report and its password/lockword would be displayed. However, if you changed the message to "Job for report $TELLREPORT started", only the report name would be displayed on the terminal screen by the TELL command. Dictionary Passwords Some data dictionaries hold passwords for files/datasets on the system. These passwords are not copied into the HP ALLBASE/BRW dictionary file (BRWDIC) by the dictionary conversion programs. You need to enter these passwords for each report in the Define Table screen.
