Method 1 is the most efficient since it minimizes communications line traffic. You can log on to your local computer, establish a communications link, initiate a remote session, and run QUERY on the remote system. This method is illustrated in Figure C-1 “Using Method 1”. A user whose user name is USERL and whose account is ACCTL logs on to the local system. The user then establishes a communications link with the remote system SYSR, known as the parameter dsdevice in DS or envid in NS. A REMOTE HELLO command establishes a session on the remote system with user identification MEMBER.PAYROLL. The user runs QUERY on the remote system accessing a data base named DBR.
