RDBMS administration procedures

You can use two procedures to authorize LN users for RDBMSs and to maintain the data in the RDBMS Administration module.

In LN ’s RDBMS Administration you can find two main procedures:

  • The recommended RDBMS Administration procedure to authorize LN users in a range or individually.
  • The RDBMS Administration maintenance procedure. You can use this procedure to maintain the database users data, database groups data, and the link data. You can also use this procedure to change the database user’s password and the database group’s password.

These additional procedures are included in the RDBMS Administration module:

  • Change the database group’s password and the database user’s password.
  • Transfer the database group file and the database user file to the RDBMS Administration module.

When you completed the RDBMS Administration procedures, the LN users have access to an RDBMS.

Prerequisites

To authorize the LN user for an RDBMS, these prerequisites must be met:

  • 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, see 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 Recommended RDBMS procedure
