How This Manual Works
In addition to this overview, this manual contains five chapters
describing the use of the administrator application and a comprehensive
reference chapter.
The chapters are:
* Chapter 2--Getting Started
This chapter tells you how to sign on to the system as system
administrator, how to select and execute menu items, and how to
enter and edit data on the administrator screens.
* Chapter 3--System-Wide Specifications
This chapter describes the procedure for setting some of the
system-wide parameters for HP ALLBASE/4GL. Most of the tasks
described in this chapter are jobs you only need to do once.
They're really the last part of installing the system.
* Chapter 4--System Security
This chapter discusses the procedures for assigning user names and
user passwords for developer users and end users; defining
applications, application passwords and development security
codes; implementing menu item security; and defining databases and
database access parameters.
* Chapter 5--System Files
This chapter introduces the various types of system files used by
the HP ALLBASE/4GL system.
* Chapter 6--Administrator Utilities
This chapter describes the administrator utilities for printing
documentation, deleting items, and loading or unloading
applications.
* Chapter 7--Reference Chapter
This chapter contains a description of all screens in the
administrator application.
None of these chapters contain comprehensive "how-to-do-it" instructions.
Instead, they describe the various HP ALLBASE/4GL facilities. You should
assess the requirements of your site and use the HP ALLBASE/4GL
facilities that are appropriate for your site's needs. For the most
part, the administrator application screens are self explanatory.
Chapters 2 through 6 of the manual include some screen images and step by
step descriptions where needed. However, in most circumstances, they do
not include detailed step by step instructions. Refer to the reference
chapter (chapter 7) if you need more detailed information about the
various screen fields.
This manual refers to the HP ALLBASE/SQL (Hewlett-Packard Structured
Query Language) database management system and the HP TurboIMAGE/XL
database management system. HP ALLBASE/4GL provides an interface to
allow developers to design applications that access either or both of
these database management systems. For information about the systems,
refer to the following manuals:
* HP ALLBASE/SQL Database Administration Guide.
* HP ALLBASE/SQL Reference Manual.
* HP TurboIMAGE/XL Database Management System Reference Manual.
