What This Utility Lets You Do
What This Utility Lets You Do
The Administrator Utility gives you simple, complete control over the
environment in which Access Server operates.
Task Summary.
The Administrator Utility is a menu-driven utility that lets you define
and redefine:
* The scope and format of IMAGE data and file data available to PC
users
* Who your users are, how they are grouped, and what capabilities
they can exercise
* What portions of the data each group of users will be allowed to
see
The utility also allows you to:
* Investigate who is using Access Server at any moment
* Control your users' use of system resources for saving tables on
the host HP 3000
* Generate reports on the Access Server environment and on the
current status of Access Server
* Control password visibility in reports and on screens
* Set maximum table size
* Set the maximum number of active users
* Configure a view table editor
* Check that table definitions accurately reflect the current state
of your data sources
* Change controlling DBAs
These tasks can all be accomplished from within the Administrator
Utility's structure of menus and screens. The tasks that you perform
depend on whether you are the primary DBA or a secondary DBA. (See "DBA
Capabilities" in this chapter.)
Additionally, by running the utility with the PARM feature of the :RUN
string (see "Running the Administrator Utility" in this chapter), you
can:
* Turn Access Server availability on and off
* Automatically configure the system so that DBA users can take the
DBA tutorial
* Notify Access Server of changed passwords for the data dictionary
(for this procedure, see Appendix A)
* Specify the ISO-7 character set
* Run the Synchronization feature interactively or from a job, using
a batch input file
* Update view tables whose associated tables have been changed
* Run diagnostics
Data Dictionary Databases: HDPDIC and HDPENV.
The utility performs most of these tasks by referencing two
databases--HDPDIC and HDPENV--which together constitute the Information
Access data dictionary.
HDPDIC manages all the information that Access Server needs to allow
access to data sources formatted as relational tables.
HDPENV manages all information having to do with Access Server users.
You'll find the schemas for these databases in Appendix A.
