Procedure result and prerequisites
Result

As a result of the RDBMS Administration procedures, the LN users have access to an RDBMS.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are required to authorize the LN user for an RDBMS:

  • The employee user must have a system logon for the operating system on which LN is installed. If the user does not have a user account on the operating system, refer to the appropriate Installation Manual for your operating system.
  • The employee must have an LN user account. In other words, the employee must be an LN user. If the employee does not have an LN account, refer to the procedure Creating an LN user.
  • A database group must exist. The database group is usually created during the installation of LN. If the database group is not created successfully during the installation, see the following section, “Recommended RDBMS administration procedures.”
