The simplest way to start an ADABAS tool is to use predefined user specifications.
The specifications must have been predefined using the XUSER tool.
For one operating system user, XUSER manages up to 32 different combinations of user specifications for establishing an ADABAS session. These specifications are stored in the SQL-DB.INI file in the Windows directory.
In this way, user specifications can be predefined for different tasks and then be used for the connect. Thus it is possible to administer individual user specifications even for several database users who work under different ADABAS user names but on the same Windows PC.
You receive your specifications from the database administrator who must have created the corresponding database user. You may save the specifications by starting XUSER. (Appendix A contains a detailed description of XUSER.)
When using valid predefined user specifications to call an ADABAS tool, you can automatically access the operative mode of the tool.
The syntax of the connect with XUSER access is in general:
How the predefined user specifications are used for precompilers and precompiler programs is described in Chapter Special Features of this manual and in the precompiler manuals.
