ALLBASE/NET User's Guide

Gathering Your Data 

Before you set up ALLBASE/NET, you need to gather the information about
the client and/or server that you will be entering in the AliasDB and
NETUsers files. 

   *   If you are the system administrator on both the client and server,
       all the information you need is readily available to you.

   *   If you are the system administrator on only the client or the
       server, contact the system administrator on the other server or
       client to obtain specific information.  You also need to provide
       that system administrator with information specific to your client
       or server.

As system administrator on the client, you need the following information
about the server to put in the AliasDB file:

   *   Type of database management system being used on the server.

   *   Fully qualified filename of the DBEnvironment on the server.

   *   Node name of the server where the DBEnvironment is located.

   *   Machine type of the server.

   *   Type of data communication used.

As system administrator[REV BEG] or account manager of the account where
the remote user will log on to[REV END] on the server, you need the
following information about the client to put in the NETUsers file and
for assigning a server login to the client: 

   *   Client node name.

   *   Client login name.
[REV BEG] 

To obtain the host name used by the ARPA interface, check the
HOSTS.NET.SYS file on MPE/iX. If the hosts file does not exist, check the
domain name service file, RESLVCNF.NET.SYS. This file contains the names
of the systems that have hosts files.  To obtain the node name used by
the NS interface, type the MPE/iX command NETCONTROL STATUS. You need NM
(Node Manager) capability to use this command.  Node names are defined
through NMMGR on MPE/iX or through SAM on HP-UX.

If you specify ARPA as the datacomm
type, the ARPA domain name must be specified.  To set or change the local
domain name, do the following:

   1.  Run the NMGR program:

            :RUN NMMGR.PUB.SYS 

   2.  Open the configuration file:

            OPEN CONFIG 

   3.  Go to the NS screen:

            [NS]

   4.  Type in the local domain name and save it:

            LocalDomainName 
            [SAVE DATA]

   5.  Exit:

            [PRIOR SCREEN] [PRIOR SCREEN] [EXIT]
[REV END]

When you have obtained all the needed information, set up ALLBASE/NET
using the step-by-step instructions in the "Setting Up ALLBASE/NET"
chapter.
