Information Access Server: Database Administration

System Status Main Menu 

You review system status on screen by using the System Status screens in
the Administrator Utility.

The System Status screens let you examine some aspects of how the data
and users you configured are working together.  By regularly calling up
these screens, you can get a good idea of how heavily Access Server is
being used and how much disc space your users require for their saved
tables.

To use the System Status screens:

   *   Go directly to the screen you want by typing its screen name in
       the Go to screen field of any menu and pressing Enter, or

   *   Choose a function label at the System Status Main Menu (SM).

The System Status Main Menu looks like this.

Examining User and Saved Table Information 

Examine information about users and their saved tables at the List Active
Users (LA) screen, the List Saved Tables (LS) screen, and the Show User's
Saved Tables (SUS) screen.

These screens provide three different ways to examine system status:

   *   Display a list of all currently active users
   *   Display a list of all saved tables
   *   Display a list of saved tables for a specified user

Which screen you choose depends on why you are referencing the
information.  These screens are shown on the following pages.

DBA Capabilities.   

System status information can be examined only by the primary DBA.

       _________________________________________________________________ 

       NOTE  If, for some reason, a user saves duplicate copies of a
             result table, Access Server users a pointer to the original
             copy rather than creating multiple copies.  As a
             consequence, it's possible for the sum of the sectors listed
             in the lower half of the screen to exceed the figures given
             for current sectors and/or maximum sectors in the upper half
             of the screen.

       _________________________________________________________________

Deleting a Saved Table 

Delete an unwanted saved table at the Delete Saved Table (DS) screen.

The Delete Saved Table screen is used to delete saved tables and regain
disc space.  Saved tables are deleted on a System Status screen, not a
Configuration screen, because they are not tables configured by a DBA.
All other addition, deletions, and changes are done using Configuration
screens.

Impact on PC Users.   

Once a saved table is deleted, a user trying to access the saved table
(from the Remote Tables screen in Access PC or in the Host Batch
Facility) will get instead a message stating that the requested table
does not exist.

DBA Capabilities.   

A saved table can be deleted only by the primary DBA.

To Delete a Saved Table Definition:.   

   1.  Go to the Delete Saved Table screen by typing DS in the Go to
       screen field of any menu, or by choosing  Delete Table f3 at the
       System Status Main Menu.

   2.  Type in the saved table name and the user name, then press Enter.

       The Administrator Utility deletes the saved table definition and
       the privileged T-file in PPCSAVE.HPOFFICE that contains its data.

   3.  When the screen clears, you can delete another saved table.

   4.  To leave this screen, choose  Done  f8.  This returns you to the
       System Status Main Menu.  From there, you can go to another screen
       or exit the utility.
