Information Access Server: Learning the Administrator Utility

D : Entering the Administrator Utility 

To configure Access Server, you must run and enter the Administrator
Utility.

You may want to disable Access Server while you are configuring
information.  When Access Server is disabled, your PC users cannot
retrieve data.  (Disabling Access Server will "log off" any currently
active users.)

This protects any sensitive data in tables you will be configuring, which
would otherwise be available for public viewing until security is
configured for them.

NOTE As you do the exercises, you'll be instructed to "choose" certain function labels. To choose a function label: * Press the corresponding function key on your keyboard, labeled f1 through f8. If your keyboard has another set of keys labeled F1 through F10, these keys will not work for Access Server utilities on the HP 3000. Although PC users can choose Access PC function labels with a mouse, these input devices are not active for Access Server utilities on the HP`3000.
