Before Configuring
Once Access Server has been successfully installed on your host HP 3000,
its data dictionary has several permanent entries in it as well as some
entries that you can choose to delete if necessary.
Permanent Entries
The following entries are required for the operation of Access Server and
cannot be deleted using the Administrator Utility:
* The access group ADMIN
* The user ADMIN, defined as belonging to the access group ADMIN and
reserved for the primary DBA
* The "dummy" entry for remote systems and the "dummy" entry for
access groups
Also permanently defined are entries that support PC Diagnostics on
Access Server:
* The users DIAGUSER and DIAGHDP
* The access group DIAGNOSTICS
* The database DIAGDB in the group PPCDICT.HPOFFICE
* The IMAGE tables DIAGTABLE01, DIAGTABLE02, and DIAGTABLE03
Entries You Can Delete
You can delete data dictionary entries involving default users, the
system operator, and those involving the JOB-STATUS table.
Default Users and Operator.
Several entries in your data dictionary are defaults for nonconfigured
users and the system operator. Default users can gain limited access to
Information Access through the access group DEFAULT-GROUP and its one
member, the user DEFAULT-USER. There is an entry for the system operator
in the access group OPERATOR and its one user OPERATOR. You can choose to
retain these entries, or you can delete them using the Delete Access
Group (DG) and Delete User (DU) screens.
If you retain the default user entries, any PC user can gain limited
access to Access Server as the user DEFAULT-USER. Such a user will be
able to look at public tables (configured tables with no access groups
assigned to them) and manipulate copies of them using Access PC, but will
not be able to save any result tables on the host HP 3000. (You can
allow default users to save tables by changing DEFAULT-USER's definition
on the Change User (CU) screen.)
You can choose to retain the OPERATOR entries, or you can delete them
using the Delete Access Group (DG) and Delete User (DU) screens.
If you retain them, the user OPERATOR can enable or disable the system,
but cannot gain access to Access Server. The password for OPERATOR is
OPERATOR. If you are going to keep the user OPERATOR, you can change this
password when you "secure" the Administrator Utility.
Job Status.
To allow PC users to check the status of jobs they initiate through the
Host Batch Facility, entries for the database HDPENV and the IMAGE table
JOB-STATUS (derived from the JOB-STATUS dataset in HDPENV) are added to
the data dictionary. You can choose to retain these entries, or you can
delete them using the Delete IMAGE Database (DIMD) and Delete Table (DT)
screens.
If you retain them, you can either let the JOB-STATUS table be a public
table, or you can create view tables from it, as described at the end of
Chapter 13, "Batch Processing With Command Files," in the Information
Access Server: Database Administration manual.
The UDC File
If your System Manager has not activated the UDC file that comes with the
product (ACUDC.PPCUTIL.HPOFFICE), you may want to activate it now. It
will save you some keystrokes when running the Administrator Utility and
enabling or disabling Access Server.
