Up to 32 parameter combinations can be stored. Each consists of
USERKEY: Key name used to access the combination.
The first parameter combination is named 'DEFAULT'. This name cannot be modified.
USERID: ADABAS user name.
PASSWORD: ADABAS password of the user.
SERVERDB: Name of the ADABAS database to be used. If not specified, the name will be taken from the environment variable SERVERDB.
SERVERNODE: Name of the network node where the addressed database resides. If not specified, the local computer will be taken.
SQLMODE: ensures the compatibility with the SQL dialects of other manufacturers. Possible specifications are ADABAS, ANSI, or ORACLE. Default is ADABAS. This parameter is effective for precompiler programs and the tools LOAD and QUERY.
CACHELIMIT: Limit for the size of a temporary data buffer (only affects application programs with large SELECT results).
TIMEOUT: Time interval in seconds at the end of which an inactive session of the user is terminated: see ADABAS Reference Manual, Section Transactions, <connect statement>.
ISOLATION: ISOLATION LEVEL for locks that affect the user (only valid for application programs, precompilers and): see ADABAS Reference Manual, Section Transactions, <connect statement>.
The password is invisible and must be entered twice for security reasons.
USERKEY, SERVERDB, and SERVERNODE are case sensitive.
USERNAME and PASSWORD must be enclosed in double quotation marks, as in database operation, if they are to contain lowercase letters or special characters. Otherwise, lowercase characters are converted into uppercase.
The SQLMODE can be specified in any notation. If not specified, the default value ADABAS is valid.
CACHELIMIT, TIMEOUT, and ISOLATION are numeric parameters. If the respective default value is to be used for these parameters, -1 must be specified as value. In the empty input screen, the default values are already set for these parameters.
The current number of the group of parameters is displayed in the header line of the screen. One group is displayed per page.
The following functions can be executed by using the keys displayed in the bottom line:
NEXT: Scrolling to the next parameter combination.
PREVIOUS: Scrolling to the previous parameter combination.
DELETE: Deleting an individual combination. Subsequent parameter combinations move upward.
Note: The parameter combination moved to the first place is automatically assigned the USERKEY 'DEFAULT'. The deletion becomes only effective if XUSER is left with SAVE.
QUIT: Leaving XUSER without saving.
SAVE: Saving the current parameter combinations and subsequently leaving XUSER.
