DBA module

The DBA module maintains the database administration files that the Oracle database driver uses. This module enables an administrator to register authorized users and give users access to data. To maintain the administration files the database driver requires at run time, a tool is provided with the LN Oracle database driver. The administration files are stored in the Windows directory %BSE%\LIB\ORA or the UNIX directory $BSE/lib/ora.

The DBA module implements the user and group administration functions for all LN database drivers. The ORA_MAINT utility is an executable program called by the DBA module that implements the functions required to make changes in Oracle. While you can call the ORA_MAINT utility from outside the DBA module, Infor does not recommend you do this because ORA_MAINT does not modify these users and groups’ files.

The DBA module is described in more detail in the Infor Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide (U8854 US).
