  2. The LFILE 152 Maintenance window appears.

  3. In the Original LFILE field, the database and file number are displayed for the configuration file that was allocated to LFILE 152 at the start of your current SYSCOR session.

    The LFILE 152 Maintenance window is displayed whenever an online services function is selected that accesses the configuration file, making it possible for the user to access multiple configuration files from within a single Natural session.

  4. These values were allocated to LFILE 152 using the static Natural parameter NTLFILE ID=152,.. or the dynamic Natural parameter LFILE=(152,..). For more information about specifying LFILE 152, see the installation instructions relevant to your operating system.

  5. In the Current LFILE field, you can change the database and file number to access a different configuration file. Specify the new configuration file database and file number, if necessary.

  6. Review the default settings.

The LFILE 152 Maintenance window is displayed whenever an online services function is selected that accesses the configuration file, making it possible for the user to access multiple configuration files from within a single Natural session.

Regardless of the options you choose, you can always modify those choices by invoking the LFILE 152 Maintenance function from System Settings.

  2. The SAF Security Settings screen appears.

  3. By default, "Protect SYSCOR with SAF Security" appears as N. To activate SAF protection for SYSCOR:

  4. You must restrict who has update access to COR.SETTINGS. Anyone with update access can deactivate SAF security checking, or switch to a configuration file with no SAF security settings

  5. In an emergency (for example, wrong security definitions or the daemon is unexpectedly unavailable and you selected "Disallow all functions"), you can sign on to Natural as user DBA and set "Protect SYSCOR with SAF Security" to N until the emergency has passed. Security checking of SAF Security Settings is bypassed for user DBA. Obviously you should restrict access to user DBA.
