System Level Statistics

This option provides statistics at the database or daemon security service level.

Here is an example display for a database:

The following information is provided:

Field Description
Database/Daemon

The database or daemon number.

Buffer

The amount of storage (in kilobytes) to be used for caching user information related to the security system.

For more information, see the parameter GWSIZE.

Check (+ve)

The number of successful authorizations against the external security system.

Check (-ve)

The number of failed authorizations against the external security system (access denied).

Check Saved

The number of times the SAF Server satisfied an authorization request from its cache, without calling the external security system.

Overwrites

The number of times the SAF Server had to overwrite a previously cached authorization request. If this number is high, consider increasing DBNCU and/or NWNCU.

Lngth

The length of the resource profile names.

Active SAF Users

The current number of active SAF users.

Overwrites

The number of active entries that had to be overwritten.

Max.
