This Natural profile parameter is used as an identifier for Adabas-related information; for
example, for identification of data stored as a result of an END TRANSACTION
statement.
Possible settings | 1 - 8 characters | The setting is used as the user ID setting in an Adabas open call. |
---|---|---|
OFF |
Natural does not issue any Adabas open and close commands at the beginning of
the Natural session. If, however, any ETID and/or
OPRB specifications are present in Natural Security,
these specifications are used in the subsequent open issued by Natural Security.
This parameter setting is provided for use in conjunction with Natural Security to
prevent Natural batch jobs that are sent at the same time from causing duplicate
user ID settings in an Adabas open call during the initialization phase.

If the ETID parameter is set to blanks, Natural does
not issue any Adabas open and close commands; the OPRB parameter (if specified) and any
ETID and OPRB specifications in
Natural Security are ignored. In this case, you are recommended to set the Natural
profile parameter DBCLOSE to ON to enforce a close
command at session end. Otherwise, the user is not logged off from Adabas and the
Adabas user queue element is not deleted. This may cause an overflow situation in
the Adabas user queue.

Notes:
ETID
setting is not the same as the setting
of the Natural system variable *INIT-USER
, Natural issues an Adabas open
with the specified ETID
setting (and OPRB
setting, if specified) at the beginning of
the Natural session; this open remains in effect until the end of the Natural session;
any ETID
and OPRB
specifications in
Natural Security are ignored.
ETID
setting is the same as the setting of *INIT-USER
,
or if the ETID
parameter is not specified, Natural issues an
Adabas open with the *INIT-USER
setting as
ETID
(and the OPRB
setting, if specified) at the beginning of
the Natural session. If any Natural Security logon (initial logon or any subsequent
logon) would change the currently valid ETID
or
OPRB
setting (due to the library-/user-specific
ETID
and OPRB
specifications in Natural
Security), Natural Security issues a new open with the new ETID
and OPRB
settings. If the settings would remain the same after a
logon, Natural Security does not issue a new open.
ETID
and *INIT-USER
can be modified by user exit
NATUEX1
during session startup. See NATUEX1 - User Exit for
Authorization Control in the Operations
documentation.
ETID
options available with
ETID=OFF
which can be set in Natural Security, see Library and User Preset Values in the
Natural Security documentation.
