Once 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.
To log on to D3:
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 3 <<< 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.
Connect time = 60 Mins.; CPU=4240 Units; LPTR pages= 0 logged off at 09:00:00 on 14 Mar 2003 |
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.
