When D3 has started and the terminals are ready to be logged on as D3 terminals, pressing
any key at the terminal produces the following display:
Enter your user id:
Logging on is a two step process.
Procedure
- Enter a D3 user-ID.
The system administrator should assign a unique user-ID to
each person who uses the computer.
- Enter the master dictionary or account wanted.
This account prompt can be bypassed by defining an initial
master dictionary (md) in each user-ID in the user’s file. The D3
system has a user-ID and account name defined:
dm - user-ID
and the master dictionary entry:
dm - account name
D3 Database Management System - Enter your D3 user id: dm
master dictionary: dm

<<< 09:50:04 -- D -- 13 Nov 2009
- Logon is complete.
The system is either at the TCL prompt (:) or at a menu provided by the application developer.
Note:
-
If the logon procedure fails because the maximum allowed users
limit has been reached, an error is logged to the errors file.
-
To log off from D3, exit any D3 application running from the
TCL prompt. A similar message displays.
Connect time = 60 Mins.; CPU=4240 Units; LPTR pages= 0
logged off at 09:00:00 on 14 Mar 2003
Note that this logs off a single terminal; it does not
shut down the D3 MDBMS. To shut down the virtual machine, see the D3 System Administration Guide.
