Con-nect Mass Cabinet Maintenance and Remote Access

This document covers the following topics:


General Information About Con-nect Mass Cabinet Maintenance

Mass Cabinet Maintenance allows you to add a maximum of 12 cabinets at one time, using a source cabinet as a pattern. The system cabinet defaults, the cabinet and user profile, the command and object table, and the owners of the pattern cabinet are applied to the new cabinets. If the pattern cabinet has administrator status, this is not applied to the new cabinets. The contents of the pattern cabinet are also not copied to the new cabinets.

A network of multi-node Con-nects (on the same platform) can now obtain an image of a single Con-nect system with the use of the remote access functions. Together with these functions and utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload", you can grant the cabinets on your local Con-nect permission to access cabinets on other Con-nect nodes.

Prerequisites are that your Con-nect node is defined to the central directory present in the Con-nect network (see your central directory administrator) and your transport service local node name has been defined. See Define Local Node.

Note:
The support of remote access does not require any special migration steps for previously existing Con-nect system.

Authorizing a cabinet for remote access will not influence the functions you perform locally on your Con-nect node. For example, authorized public cabinets can still be accessed by local users and not just users authorized for remote access. Authorized cabinets are still deleted from your local node with utility B04050 "Delete Cabinets Pending for Deletion" and you need not delete remote access authorization before you delete the cabinets.

General Information About Remote Access

With the remote access functions, you can authorize private (users), shared and public cabinets on your local Con-nect node remote access. This means that when a user, for example, is authorized remote access, the user is able to issue the "DISPLAY Cabinet" command and display not only the cabinets on his local Con-nect, but also all other remote cabinets that are authorized for remote access. The user can also issue the command "Use Cabinet cabinet-name" in conjunction with a remote cabinet.

When a user accesses a remote cabinet, the remote cabinet's ID is replaced with the user's alias, a unique ID assigned to each cabinet when authorized for remote access. The alias comprises an asterisk and a seven-digit number (e.g. *9999900).

Authorizing or deleting authorization is a two step procedure:

  • You use the remote access functions to mark the cabinets you want to grant or remove authorization. At this point, the cabinets are pending for authorization or deletion.

  • When you run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" the pending cabinets are uploaded to the central directory's authorization tables and a unique alias is assigned to each cabinet uploaded for authorization. If a cabinet has been marked for deletion, the cabinet is removed from the authorization tables and thus, the cabinet is unable to access other remote cabinets. This utility does not delete cabinets from the Con-nect node.

Note:
The central directory's authorization tables are used to store all authorized cabinets from the Con-nect nodes participating in your network.

The information below contains the following topics:

Private Cabinets (Users)

In the diagram below Con-nect nodes Odenwald, Chicago and Dallas all participate in the same Con-nect network and are defined in the central directory.

Node Odenwald has authorized user LS for remote access, node Dallas has authorized user LS, while node Chicago has authorized users MA and MF. Nodes Odenwald and Chicago have run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" and thus, authorization for the users on these nodes have been uploaded to the central directory authorization tables.

graphics/graphic4-121.png

User LS on node Dallas, although marked for authorization, has not been uploaded to the central directory, since utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" was not run on node Dallas.

Public Cabinets

In the diagram below Con-nect node Dallas has authorized public cabinets DIVING and TRAVEL remote access and has run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload". Therefore, cabinets DIVING and TRAVEL have been uploaded to the central directory authorization tables as well as user LS.

graphics/graphic4-123.png

This means that each user authorized remote access can now access public cabinets DIVING and TRAVEL. Since user LS/DALLAS resides on the same node as public cabinets DIVING and TRAVEL, user LS/DALLAS will access the public cabinets as a local user and not as a remote user.

External Membership

Each user authorized remote access can be added as a member to a shared cabinet on your local Con-nect node, so long as the user and shared cabinet are not located on the same Con-nect node.

In the next diagram, Con-nect node Dallas has authorized users MA and MF on node Chicago and user LS on node Odenwald membership to shared cabinet RESEARCH and has run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload". Thus, users MA/Chicago, MF/Chicago and LS/Odenwald can access shared cabinet RESEARCH.

graphics/graphic4-125.png

If at a later point the administrator on node Chicago deletes user MA/Chicago's remote access authorization and then runs utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload", user MA/Chicago will no longer be able to access shared cabinet RESEARCH. However, if the administrator on node Dallas displays cabinet RESEARCH with the Display Memberships function, MA/Chicago will still be listed, but as an unknown user. User MA/Chicago is not completely deleted from shared cabinet RESEARCH until utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run on node Dallas.

It displays each local user that is authorized for remote access. Any user that is pending for authorization will not be displayed here. The following information is displayed for each authorized user:

User ID

User's Con-nect ID.

Alias

A unique number assigned to the user when remote access is authorized.

Name

User's name.

M (Member)

Designates whether the user is a member of an external shared cabinet. If this column is blank, the user is not a member of an external shared cabinet.

Status

Status of user:

Pending for deletion User is currently authorized for remote access, however, when utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run, authorization will be deleted. Utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" does not delete the user from the system. A user is field protected if the user has been deleted from the system with the Delete Cabinet function. In this case, authorization for the user is pending for deletion. A user will be marked as pending for deletion when one of the following occurs: You selected the user and press PF4, or you marked the user for utility "Delete Pending Cabinets" with the Delete Cabinet function (see Delete a Cabinet) and when the utility was run, the user was deleted and the user's remote access authorization was automatically marked as pending for deletion. If you mark a user for utility B04050 "Delete Pending Cabinets" and then you undo the deletion with the Display Cabinets Marked for Deletion function, the user's remote access authorization is never modified nor marked for deletion.
Modified Authorization status of user has been modified.
Pending to be updated User's last or first name has been changed on your local system and thus, the system automatically flagged the user to be modified on the central directory when utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run. You can also manually flag the user to be updated with PF6. A user can be pending for both deletion and update. In this case, the user is displayed as pending for deletion.
Synchronization Error Information stored on the central directory is not synchronized with your local system - the user is marked as authorized on the central directory but not on your Con-nect system.

Position to

You can enter a user ID to restart the list of users with the user ID you specified.

For each of the functions described below you can select more than one user at a time.

In addition to displaying authorized users on this screen, you can also mark a user and press PF4 to delete remote access authorization. Authorization is not immediately revoked, however, the user is flagged for utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" and the status on the screen is changed to "modified". If you display this screen again before utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run, the status of the user is displayed as "pending for deletion". Once you run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload", remote access authorization for the user is deleted.

To remove the pending for deletion status for a user, you mark the user in question and press PF5. As a result, the status of the user is changed to "modified" and authorization for the user is not deleted when utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run.

Note:
Unlike the pending for deletion status, the pending to be updated status cannot be undone.

If you have modified a user's last or first name and want this information updated on the central directory, you can mark the user in question and press PF6. As a result, the status of the user is changed to "modified". Once you run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload", the user's information is modified on the central directory. If you display the "Display Authorized Users by ID" screen before the utility is run, the status of the user is displayed as "Pending to be updated".

If a user is a member of an external shared cabinet, it is indicated with an X in the M (member) column. When you select the user and press PF7 you can display the external shared cabinet(s) of which the user is a member.

Any user displayed on the above screen will appear on the "Display Users Marked for Synchronization" screen until utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run.

To remove the pending for deletion or authorization status for a user, you can mark the user in question and press PF5. As a result, the status of the user is changed to "modified" and the remote access authorization for the user will not be changed when utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run. The pending to be updated status cannot be removed.

Note:
A user can be pending for both update and deletion. If you remove the pending for deletion with PF5, the pending to be updated status is not removed.

If you want to display a user or a range of users marked for authorization and/or deletion, press PF4 to display the window shown below. You can also press PF4 to include those users marked for update.

It displays the authorized external members for each local shared cabinet with external members. Local members and external members pending for authorization are not displayed on this screen.

If, in the Name column the message "* User not found" is displayed, it means that the external member was either deleted from the member's local system or the member's remote access authorization was revoked and removed from the central directory. Once you run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" the membership will be deleted from your local system.

Alias

A unique number assigned to each user who is authorized remote access. In this case, this is the external member's number.

User ID

User ID of external member.

Node

Node on which external member is located.

Name

Last and first name of external member.

Status

Status of external member in relation to the shared cabinet. It does not pertain to the external member's status on his local node. For example, an external member may be pending for update on his local node but this status is never displayed on the screen above.

The status can be one of the following for an external member:

deletion External member is currently authorized as a member of local shared cabinet, however, when utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run, authorization will be revoked.
modified Status of external member has been modified.
Synchronization Error Information stored on the central directory is not synchronized with your local system.
" " External member is authorized and not pending for utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload".
Position to

You can enter a local shared cabinet's name to display the external members authorized to access the shared cabinet you specified.

For each of the functions described below you can select more than one external member at a time.

In addition to displaying authorized remote members on this screen, you can also mark a remote member and press PF4 to delete his external membership. Authorization is not immediately revoked, however, the remote member is flagged for utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" and the status on the screen is changed to "modified". If you display this screen again before utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run, the status of the remote member is displayed as "deletion". Once you run utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload", authorization for the external member is deleted.

To remove the pending for deletion status for an external member, you mark the member in question and press PF5. As a result, the status of the external member is changed to "modified" and authorization for the member is not deleted when utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run.

Last name of external member.

First Name

First name of external member.

Alias

A unique number assigned to each user when remote access is authorized.

Each external member which is copied to the targeted shared cabinet is automatically added to the cabinet's distribution list even though the external member is pending for authorization. Thus, when a local user issues the "DISPLAY Distribution Shared-cabinet-name" command, the alias for each external member is displayed with the local members.

When you copy the memberships of BSAC to external user BAA, BAA will be authorized as an external member for shared cabinets DIVING and TRAVEL once utility B74050 "Remote Access - Upload" is run.
