MPE/iX Account Structure
The HP ALLBASE/4GL installation procedure requires you to create an
MPE/iX account enabling it to create the default HP ALLBASE/4GL account
structure. This section describes the structure created by the
installation procedure.
The account for the HP ALLBASE/4GL system contains the following groups:
Developer Environment Run-Time Environment Purpose
HP4APPN HP4APPNR Unloaded application definitions
HP4DATA HP4DATAR KSAM and serial data files
HP4DBM HP4DBMR HP ALLBASE/SQL database modules
HP4FS HP4FSR KSAM file create/delete/reformat
files
HP4S HP4SR HP ALLBASE/4GL S-files
HP4SQL HP4SQLR HP ALLBASE/SQL databases
HP4TI HP4TIR HP TurboIMAGE/iX databases
The developer and run-time environments use essentially the same groups.
The only difference is the last character of the run-time environment
group names. In the run-time environment, the group names all end with
"R". This is indicated by the following notation:
GROUP[R]
The following paragraphs explain the purpose of these groups.
HP4APPN[R] Group
This group is used for the files containing unloaded HP ALLBASE/4GL
applications. The HP ALLBASE/4GL administrator application unloading
facility creates files in this group to store the definitions of unloaded
applications.
The administrator application loading utility reads the definition of the
application to be loaded from a file in this group.
HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the MPE/iX variable HP4APPNPATH to identify the name
and location of the group for the unloaded application definition file.
The HP ALLBASE/4GL administrator must be able to create files in this
group.
HP4DATA[R] Group
This group is available for KSAM and serial data files. You can use a
different name for the group if desired, or locate the data files
elsewhere in the MPE/iX file system.
By default, HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the MPE/iX variable HP4DATAPATH to
identify the name and location of this group. HP4DATAPATH can be reset
if another group is to be used to contain the HP TurboIMAGE/iX databases.
HP4DBM[R] Group
This group is used for the database module files for applications and
versions.
HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the MPE/iX variable HP4DBMPATH to identify the name
and location of the group containing the database module files.
Application developers and the HP ALLBASE/4GL administrator must be able
to create files in this group.
HP4FS[R] Group
This group is required if your applications use KSAM data files. It
contains the file-structure files that are created when application
developers create or reformat KSAM data files.
It is also used for file-structure files that may be required when the HP
ALLBASE/4GL administrator loads or unloads a run-only application. These
files are part of the automatic data file reformatting system for
run-only applications.
HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the MPE/iX variable HP4FSPATH to identify the name
and location of this group. Application developers and the HP
ALLBASE/4GL administrator must be able to create files in this group.
HP4S[R] Group
This group is used for the HP ALLBASE/4GL S-files. You can use a
different name for this group if desired. HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the MPE/iX
variable HP4SPATH to identify the name and location of this group.
HP ALLBASE/4GL can access S-files in any part of the MPE/iX file system.
All HP ALLBASE/4GL users must have read, write and lock access
permissions on the S-files.
HP4SQL[R] Group
This group is optional and is available for HP ALLBASE/SQL application
databases. You can use a different name for the group if desired, or
locate the HP ALLBASE/SQL databases elsewhere in the MPE/iX file system.
By default, HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the MPE/iX variable HP4SQLPATH to
identify the name and location of this group. HP4SQPPATH can be reset if
another group is to be used to contain the HP ALLBASE/SQL database.
HP4TI[R] Group
This group is optional and is available for HP TurboIMAGE/iX application
databases. You can use a different name for the group if desired, or
locate the HP TurboIMAGE/iX databases elsewhere in the MPE/iX file
system.
By default, HP ALLBASE/4GL uses the MPE/iX variable HP4TIPATH to identify
the name and location of this group. HP4TIPATH can be reset if another
group is to be used to contain the HP TurboIMAGE/iX databases.
