  • the name that appears on all screens (the default is: * * * C O N - N E C T 3 * * *)

  • the CPU timezone relative to Greenwich Mean Time

  • the number of days an item is kept in the Wastebasket

  • the number of days until the expiration date of an item is reached

  • whether an item is to be archived when the expiration date is reached

The values you specify here are default values for all cabinets within your system. You can modify these values for all or individual cabinets.

Note:
Global changes to the command and object table can be accomplished with PF12. See Global Activation / Deactivation of Commands and Objects.

The information below contains the following topics:

Cabinet and User Profile (SYSCNT)

Neither the cabinet administrator nor the user is allowed to change any of the specifications within the cabinet and user profile of SYSCNT. However, when a new cabinet is created, the cabinet administrator can modify the specifications within the constraints you allow here for that cabinet. Additionally, the cabinet administrator can authorize the user to modify some of the specifications by permitting use of the command MODIFY with the object Profile in the Command and Object Table function of Cabinet Maintenance.

The Cabinet Profile SYSCNT

The "Administration - Cabinet Profile SYSCNT" screen is shown below. The profile that you specify in this screen is taken as a basis for all cabinets within your system, except for those cabinets you create by copying pattern cabinets. Administrator status (cabinet and system maintenance functions) is not copied to the new cabinets.

The password and security protects the cabinet and objects within it from unauthorized access. The password is the only value within the SYSCNT cabinet profile that can be modified by a user. It is recommended that every user modifies his password with the "MODIFY Profile" command sequence in Con-nect to protect his cabinet.

See Cabinet and User Profile for a description of the above screen.

The User Profile SYSCNT

The "Administration - User Profile" screen is shown below. To access it, you must press ENTER on the "Administration - Cabinet Profile SYSCNT" screen.

Note:
You can only modify the user profile for cabinet SYSCNT from the screen below, since the command MODIFY with the object Profile is not allowed when cabinet SYSCNT is accessed.

With the exception of the sliding window value (defined in the "Date and Time Formats" window), the user profile SYSCNT is copied to all new cabinets, and can then be modified for the new cabinet by the cabinet administrator. If the cabinet administrator authorized him, the user can also modify these specifications.

The "Mark to use system value" field in the "Date and Time Formats" window is initially marked as the sliding window value for all new cabinets. The number to the right of this field is the system default value defined in the "Administration - System Defaults" screen in either the "Con-nect sliding window" or "Use Natural YSLW ( 0 )" field. For further information, see System Defaults and Date and Time Formats.

The sliding window value you define in the user profile SYSCNT is independent of the system default value (i.e. it is used only in the SYSCNT cabinet).

System Name

The name which appears at the top of all screens.

CPU Timezone

The timezone CPU is located, relative to Greenwich Mean Time. For example, in New York you specify -6.

Days in Wastebasket

The number of days an item is kept in the Wastebasket before it can be deleted from the system with a batch utility. This is used as the default value for utility B04130 "Delete Folder Contents". See Con-nect Utilities, section Delete Folder Contents for further information.

Days until Expiration

The number of days until the expiration date of an item is reached, at which time it can be deleted from the system.

Con-nect sliding window

The sliding window determines which two-digit year values belong to which century. The sliding window covers a period of 100 years. The start and end of the sliding window is determined by the value you enter in the "Con-nect sliding window" field or the value in the "Use Natural YSLW ( 0 )" field. As the range of the sliding window always begins in the past, the value you enter is automatically subtracted from the current year to determine the first year of the window range. To determine the last year of the sliding window, 99 is automatically added to the resulting year.

For example, if the current year is 2004 and you enter 40 as the sliding window, the sliding window will cover the years 1964 to 2063. In this case, a two-digit year value (nn) from 64 to 99 is interpreted as 19nn, while a two-digit year value (nn) from 0 to 63 is interpreted as 20nn.

You can enter a value from 0 to 99. The value you specify here is supplied as the system value that is copied to all new cabinets. For further information, see Date and Time Formats.

If you specify a value of 0, the sliding window mechanism is not used. This means that when a two-digit year is entered, Con-nect interprets it as in the current century.

To insure that the sliding window covers adequate time in the past and in the present, it is recommended that you do not set the sliding window to either the low or top end of the range. For example, if you set the sliding window to 2, the range of the sliding window will be (assuming the current year is 2004) 2002 to 2101. This means that when a user enters 95 as a two-digit year, Con-nect will interpret it as 2095 and not 1995.

If you enter a value here you cannot mark the "Use Natural YSLW ( 0 )" field.

Use Natural YSLW ( 0 )

You can enter any character. The current value of the Natural YSLW parameter is the value displayed in parentheses. If you select this field, this value is supplied as the system value, which is copied to all new cabinets. For further information, see Date and Time Formats.

If you mark this field, you cannot enter a value in the "Con-nect sliding window" field.

Trace Cabinet Usage

You can enter any character to specify that a record is to be kept of the last cabinet to logon to (use) another cabinet. Thus, Con-nect can generate three types of reports that display statistics on cabinet usage. See Con-nect Reports.

Archive on Expiration

You can enter any character to specify that an item is to be archived onto a backup medium (tape, disc, etc.) when the expiration date is reached.

Force to check Password

You can enter any character to specify that the cabinet ID or a specific string cannot be defined as a password. When this field is marked and you press ENTER, a window appears. In the window, you can specify one of the following:

Cabinet

When this field is marked, it is not allowed to define the cabinet ID as the password.

selected Constant

When a string (for example, SAG) is defined in this line, it is not allowed to define this string as the password.

Press ENTER to save your specifications and to close the window.

When this field is marked, the password is checked each time a user, or administrator defines a new password and when a user accesses a cabinet using the password.

When an invalid password is detected, an appropriate message is displayed and the user or administrator must define a new password.

Days between registered Backup and Cabinet Deletion

You can specify the number of days between the last registered backup of a cabinet and its deletion.

This default can be used as a cabinet deletion control when you perform utility B04000 "Delete Objects". See Con-nect Utilities, section Delete Objects for further information.

The remaining fields appear only if Con-nect Text Retrieval is installed. See Con-nect Text Retrieval Administration.

Configuration of Addressee Selection Window

The addressee selection window is available to each Con-nect user when sending objects to other users. It is used for example, if a user is unsure of the addressee's name or user ID, the user can invoke the addressee selection window to choose to whom the object is to be sent.

The addressee selection window contains information taken from each user cabinet address. Name, ID and Type are displayed by default in the addressee selection window. You can specify additional information that is to be displayed.

The "Administration - Configuration of Addressee Selection Window" screen is shown below.

Position

Each item specified is shown in a column to the right of the standard information in the order selected here. The position numbers must be consecutive, e.g. 2 3 1 and not 4 6 1.

Length

The number of characters to be displayed for each item selected. You must specify a length for the item which is to appear in position 1. If a length is not specified for the other items, a new column is not created, and the information is included in the column of the previous field specified. For example, if "Phone" and "Extension" are selected, but a length is not specified for "Extension", that number is included in the column for "Phone".

Con-nect automatically inserts a blank space between columns, and the total length of all items selected must not exceed 32.

Information

Import/Export Destinations

The Import/Export Destinations contain the names of the programs that are executed when documents are exported from and imported to default destinations in Con-nect. You should not modify the programs that are associated with the default Con-nect Import/Export Destinations. However, you can delete these programs if you don't want to use them at your installation.

You can modify the display sequence of the default destinations on the related screens, the text that is displayed with a destination, and whether or not the display depends on the PC mode being switched on.

You can add your own programs to design your own export/import destinations. A maximum of 24 destinations is possible. When the lines on the screen are filled, press ENTER to obtain additional lines.

This function contains two screens, the first of which to appear is the "Import Destinations" screen.

The "Import Destinations" and "Export Destinations" screens contain the following:

Language

The language code you specified on the "Administration - Main Menu" is shown in this field.

Position on Map

The sequence according to which the entries are to be displayed on the "Import Document" and "Export Document-name" screens.

Program

The name of the Natural program executed when a document is imported or exported. You should not modify the defaults shown here, however you can add additional programs you write yourself.

PC

X results in the associated entry being displayed on the "Import Document" and "Export Document-name" screens only if the PC mode is switched on.

Text to be Displayed

The text that is displayed on the "Import Document" and "Export Document-name" screens.

The "Export Destinations" screen contains the following additional column:

Allowed Objects

Applies only to export programs you write yourself. You mark the fields in this column with any character to get a list of all Con-nect objects that can be exported with that program. You mark one of the objects to obtain another list showing all of the permitted document formats for this destination.

External Mail Nodes

In addition to sending mail to internal users, you can also send mail items to external users - users who are not connected to your Con-nect node. Since the normal online delivery technique cannot be used to reach external users, a variety of other data communication facilities are used which utilize the Con-nect spool file (see Part 3. Maintaining the Con-nect Spool File Method) and the Con-nect transport service (see Part 5. The Transport Service). These include:

  • Con-nect multinode,

  • Con-nect Teleservices,

  • Con-nect SNADS,

  • printer as external recipient, and

  • external users that are defined as belonging to external mail nodes of various types (supported through user-written modules).

The creation and maintenance of external mail nodes is a System Maintenance function and is discussed in this section. Administrative features specific to the type of mail node are discussed later in this documentation. See Part 2. External Con-nect Nodes and Part 4. Printers as External Mail Nodes.

Specific administrative functions for the selectable units are discussed later in this documentation. See Part 6. Teleservices Nodes and Part 7. Con-nect SNADS.

Note:
Since several of the external mail nodes are associated with Con-nect selectable units, not every mail node type may be available at your installation.

The "Administration - External Mail Nodes" screen is shown below. Mark the function you want to access with any character and press ENTER, or press the assigned PF-key. The screen for that function is displayed.

If you are adding a mail node, you must enter a name in the "Mail Node/Type" field before you select the Add Mail Node function.

Modify Mail Node

Enter a node name in the "Node Name/Type" field on the "Administration - External Mail Nodes" screen and select the Modify Mail Node function. Information you specified when you added that node is displayed.

Modify the information and press ENTER to display additional node information. Press ENTER again after all modifications have been made.

Display Mail Node(s)

Enter a node name in the "Node Name/Type" field on the "Administration - External Mail Nodes" screen and select the Display Mail Node(s) function. Information you specified when you added or modified that node is displayed.

If you do not specify a node name, the "Administration - Display External Mail Nodes" is displayed which lists all nodes.

The PF-keys at the bottom of the "Display" screen list the functions that apply to the mail nodes.

Delete Mail Node

Enter a node name in the "Node Name/Type" field on the "Administration - External Mail Nodes" screen and select the Delete Mail Node function. A screen containing the mail node definition (the information specified when the node was added) is displayed.

Mark the "Delete" field and press ENTER to confirm the deletion.

Addresses that are defined to the mail node are not deleted, however, once you delete the node mail items cannot be sent to the addresses.

Maintain Mail Nodes

The Maintain Mail Nodes function contains maintenance programs for the spool file and the transport service, which are used by mail nodes that do not have their own specific maintenance program, and if installed, Con-nect SNADS.

See Part 3. Maintaining the Con-nect Spool File Method for a description of the maintenance program for external Con-nect nodes and printers that use the spool file method.

See Maintaining the Transport Service for a description of the maintenance program used by external Con-nect nodes and printers that use the transport service.

See Part 6. Teleservices Nodes for a description of the maintenance program for Con-nect Teleservices and Maintenance of Con-nect SNADS.

Mark item(s) from the list above with a command or press a PF-key              

The following records are returned:

  • Spool file records. These are notated as record type X-n, where n defines the type of external node (see Add a Mail Node). Con-nect SNADS and Con-nect Teleservices use the spool file records to transfer information from the Con-nect system file to the Con-nect spool file and vice versa.

  • Con-nect Teleservices log records.

  • Con-nect SNADS text and log records.

  • Transport Service text and log records.

  • Dummy and text records. Con-nect SNADS, Teleservices and the spool file use these records to store the message text.

  • Special records for the synchronization of internal processes (notated as X---SYNC). These records are used by all node types.

When you mark a record with ER (Erase), the marked records are erased immediately. You are not asked to confirm the deletion.

Note:
You can erase all records displayed. To ensure that the send process is completed and all confirmation of delivery notices are relayed, do not erase a record less than a day old. However, it is recommended that you erase those records older than 30 to 60 days.

Delete Spool File Entries

All external Con-nect nodes, whether they use the spool file or transport service method, must occasionally purge items in the spool file, as internally it is used to convey information between the Con-nect spool file and the Con-nect system file(s). The Delete Spool File Entries function is used to delete these spool file records.

Select the Delete Spool File Entries function and press ENTER. In the resulting "older than _ days" field, specify the number of days items are to be kept in the spool file before they are deleted and press ENTER.

This function should be performed on a regular basis.

Define Local Node

If you are adding external mail nodes for the first time in your Con-nect environment, you must specify a unique network node name by which your Con-nect system can be identified.

Notes:

  1. If you intend to use the spool file for your local node, it is supplied as an unloaded file and must be loaded using the Adabas utility ADALOD (see the Con-nect Installation and Operations documentation).
  2. If you want to modify the name of your local node and your system interacts with the central directory via the directory synchronization functions, see Modifying the Transport Service Node ID.

Select the Define Local Node function, enter the physical name of your spool file (e.g. DBID number) in the resulting "Define Local Node ___ (Spool File Method)" field and press ENTER. Enter the name of your transport service in the resulting "Define Local Node ___ (Transport Service)" field and press ENTER again.

Note:
You cannot quit from this screen (with PF3) without specifying the name of your spool file or transport service.

The local node name you specify for your spool file is combined internally with the Con-nect database ID and file number. This node name is the connection between the spool file and the Con-nect system file, and thus identifies to which Con-nect incoming external mail is to be delivered.

Note:
If the Con-nect system file (251) is changed (i.e. either the DBID or FNR is changed), the spool file must be initialized again to ensure that the correct DBID and FNR are used.

To transfer the data sent, the program X-0INIT must be started periodically (e.g. once per hour) either as a batch job or online. See X-0INIT - Multi-node/Driver Start Program in section Maintenance of Con-nect SNADS for a description of this program. X-0INIT manages the start of individual driver programs. The frequency and time at which the drivers are started depends on user requirements.

Define Capabilities of Node Types

When you select the Define Capabilities of Node Types function and specify a node type (e.g. G for Printer) in the "Mail Node/Type" field on the "Administration - External Mail Nodes" screen, the "Define Capabilities of Node Types" screen is displayed.

Mail nodes that send mail (transport items) using the transport service method can provide the user with various mailing notifications (e.g. when the transport item arrives at the external mail node).

The "Define Capabilities of Node Types" screen displays the various notifications possible for a particular node type. On this screen you can define the default notifications and whether the user is allowed to request other notifications.

If you want to rename a node type, you can simply type over the name shown next to the "Node Type" field.

The left side of the screen displays the notification options available for that particular node type. These fields cannot be modified.

The right side of the screen displays the notifications the user can request. To disallow a notification type, remove the X in the field to the right of the notification.

The last column on the right displays the default notifications. If you want to change the defaults, move the X to the appropriate notification type. You cannot mark a notification type that is not allowed with that node type.

Allow Reply Request

If marked, it allows the user to request a reply from the addressee. When the addressee displays the transport item, a message is displayed indicating that a reply is requested.

Allow Delivery Report

Determines whether the user is notified when the transport item has arrived at the external node.

Allow Receipt Report

Determines whether the user is notified when the addressee has touched (e.g. displayed, erased, filed) the transport item.

Possible notifications for "Allow Delivery Report" and "Allow Receipt Report" are:

Never No delivery or receipt notification is requested
Non A notification is only requested if the transport item cannot be delivered
Always A notification is always requested

Document Translation Routines

The Document Translation Routines contain the names of the programs that are executed when documents are translated into other (default) formats in Con-nect.

You should not modify the programs that are associated with the default Con-nect Translation Routines.

You can modify the display sequence of the default routines on the related screens, the text that is displayed with a routine. You can add your own programs to design your own routines.

The "Document Translation Routines" screen is shown below.

Language

The language code you specified in the "Administration - Main Menu" is shown in this field.

Position on Map

The sequence according to which the entries are to be displayed in the "Translate Document-name" screen. You can alter the position by typing over the numbers.

Program

The name of the Natural program which is executed when a document is translated. You cannot modify the defaults shown here, however, you can add additional programs which you write yourself.

Translated Format (displayed Text)

The text that is displayed on the "Translate Document-name" screen. You can alter the default text by typing over it.

Executable Formats

Applies only to export programs which you write yourself. You can mark a field in this column with any character to get a list of all document formats that can be translated with that program.

Modify/Display Con-form Control Characters

If you mark this field, a window appears and you can display the defaults for Con-form control characters. You press PF3 to close the window. These characters have a special meaning for Con-form when they are used in a particular context (see the Con-form User's Guide, section Special Characters for additional information).

Page-number character

Represents a reserved variable containing the current page number.

Instruction character

Begins each Con-form instruction.

Escape character

Precedes escape sequences within the running text.

End-of-line character

Denotes the end of a text line, causing a break in line filling.

Variable character

Precedes a variable. (Variables are assigned using the .SV name=value instruction.)

Instruction separator character

Separates multiple Con-form instructions in the same line.

Tab character

Character used which denotes that the following text is to be moved to the defined tab position.

Decimal character

Character used when the sum of a calculation is not rounded to the nearest integer.

Hard space character

Character to be used as a hard space between two words. This means that these words cannot be separated by a line break.

Default Symbol Set

Each supported language has a symbol set associated with it. The symbol set associated with the language code you specified on the "Administration - Main Menu" is shown as the default.

Modify Symbol Set

If you mark this field, a window appears and you can select the symbol set associated with one of the other languages.

Logical Printers

You use the Logical Printers function to:

  • assign a logical printer name to a printer destination;

  • associate a printer profile with a printer; and

  • maintain these assignments.

Thus you create a list of all permitted printers within the particular environment.

The "Administration - Logical Printers" screen is shown below. Mark the function you want to access with any character and press ENTER, or press the assigned PF-key. The appropriate screen is then shown.

If you are adding a logical printer, you must enter a name in the "Logical Printer" field before you select the Add Printer function. The name is associated with the printer destination and optionally, a printer profile. The user needs only to enter this name, and need not worry about destinations or profiles.

Name

The name of the command or object with which you want to work. If you are adding a User Object, you must enter a name in this field.

Language

The language code you specified on the "Administration - Main Menu" is shown in this field.

Mark the function you want to access with any character and press ENTER, or press the assigned PF-key. The appropriate screen is shown.

Note:
When you rename/modify commands or objects, the previous name is removed from the system.

The information below contains the following topics:

Rename/Modify a System Command

Enter a command name in the "Name" line of the "Administration - Commands and Objects" screen, select the Rename/Modify System Command function and press ENTER.

Note:
If you do not enter a command name in the "Name" line of the "Administration - Commands and Objects" screen and instead press PF9 (for Modify), a selection window appears. Select the command you want to rename and press ENTER.

The following commands cannot be modified/renamed:

X
MX
DX
DY
DX-Y
EX
EY
EX-Y
Y

The input lines "New Name" and "New Description" are shown at the bottom of the screen. The command name you selected and its associated description are shown in these lines.

  
                         _ Delete User Object

                         _ Rename/Modify User Object
  
                         _ Return to Menu
  
                    Name ADD      Language 1

 Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
       Help  Menu  Quit

You rename the command by typing over the name in the "New Name" line. Keep the first two letters of the Con-nect command names strictly unique, since an object can be acted upon by entering the first two letters of a command in the Cmd-column in a screen which lists a number of objects.

Note:
Con-nect may be corrupted, if the command names are not unique.

You can also modify the description, which can appear in the command prompting window.

Rename/Modify a System Object

Enter an object name in the "Name" input field of the "Administration - Commands and Objects" screen, select the Rename/Modify System Object function and press ENTER.

Note:
If you do not enter an object name in the "Name" input field of the "Administration - Commands and Objects" screen and instead press PF9 (for Modify), a selection window appears. Select the object you want to rename and press ENTER.

Input lines called "New Name" and "New Description" are shown at the bottom of the screen. The object name you selected and its associated description are displayed in these lines.

   
                         _ Delete User Object

 Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
       Help  Menu  Quit

You rename the object by typing over the name in the "New Name" field. Keep Con-nect object names strictly unique to avoid confusion as to which object is to be acted upon.

Note:
Con-nect may be corrupted, if the object names are not unique.

You can also modify the description which appears in the object prompting window.

To create a user object you must write certain programs and maps to use the new object. Additionally, the following information must be completed on the "Administration - Commands and Objects" screen:

Name

The name you want to give the new object. Con-nect automatically adds the object to the command and object table.

Language

The language code you specified on the "Administration - Main Menu" is shown in this field.

New Name

Not applicable if you are adding an object for only one language.

New Number

Assign a number between 80 and 99 to the new object (these numbers have been reserved for user objects). This number must be the same for all languages in which you add the object.

The numbers 8000 through 9990 in SYSERR must also be reserved for user objects.

A user object must not use a GDA of its own, since this destroys the Con-nect GDA.

Once the user object is added, you must specify the commands that can be used with this object. See Command and Object Table.

Add a User Object for Another Language

If you want to add the same object for another language, you must return to the "Administration - Main Menu" and specify the appropriate language code and then return to this screen by selecting "Add User Object" and entering the name you specified when the object was initially added.

 Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
       Help  Menu  Quit
New Name

The name you specified when you added the object for the first language is shown in this field. You type over this name with the name of the object for the language selected.

New Number

With each language you must assign the same number to the object. For example if you have the object "Report" with number 85 in English, and the same object named "Bericht" in German, the German object must also be assigned to number 85.

Display a User Object

User objects are displayed in a selection window. Mark a user object in the list, and then select the function you want to activate by pressing the appropriate PF-key.

Delete a User Object

     
                         _ Delete User Object
  
                         _ Rename/Modify User Object

 Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
       Help  Menu  Quit
 

Enter the name of the object you want to delete in the "Name" field, or select an object from the selection window. Confirm the deletion by marking the input field at the bottom of the screen.

Rename/Modify a User Object

The procedure to rename or modify a user object is identical to that as renaming or modifying a system object. See Rename/Modify a System Object.

Naming Conventions
