Note:
The screen above is displayed until all requested information has been compiled, do not press ENTER a second time.

If you select the Cabinet Usage function and specify a cabinet in the "Cabinet" field on the "Administration - Reports" screen, the list of cabinets begin with that cabinet. If a cabinet has been accessed on the current day, the information is highlighted.

If you select the Cabinet Statistics or Cabinet Membership function and specify a cabinet in the "Cabinet" field, the report which is displayed applies only to that cabinet.

If in the case of all of the above functions you leave the "Cabinet" field blank, an alphabetical list of cabinets is displayed. To scroll to a cabinet beginning with a specific character(s), you can enter the character(s) in the "Position to" line and press ENTER. Then, you must mark the cabinet you want and press the appropriate PF-key.

Cabinet Usage

The Cabinet Usage report is an alphabetical list of cabinets providing information regarding the last logon to each cabinet. This report can only be generated if the "Trace Cabinet Usage" function of System Defaults has been marked (see System Defaults).

The report shows the following information for each cabinet:

Cabinet

Name of the cabinet to which the statistics apply.

Name/Description

Full name of the user if the cabinet is a private cabinet, or the description of a standalone, shared or public cabinet.

***

Indicates that someone other than the person to whom the cabinet has been assigned has used the cabinet (with the command sequence "USE Cabinet cabinet-ID password").

Last Access

User ID of the last user who used the cabinet and the date and time of the last logon. If the last logon occurred on the current date, this information is highlighted.

An X to the right of the date and time indicates that the cabinet is pending for deletion.

Position to

Cabinet Statistics

The Cabinet Statistics report consists of two screens.

The first screen lists all objects in the cabinet and the number of occurrences of each object (count) as shown below.

Note:
The object Member is the total number of members in the cabinet's distribution lists.

+---------------------------------------+

For the record which you have marked in the list, a message is shown which indicates that you can press ENTER to display the history. When you repeatedly press ENTER in this window, information on all other records which have the same library and the same FNAT and FUSER is displayed. For these records, a message is shown which prompts you to press ENTER to continue (when you press PF3 for such a record, the window is closed and the "Con-nect Installation History" screen is shown again). When the message reappears which indicates that you can press ENTER to display the history, information for the marked record is shown again.

For update level 0 (that is: an installation for which a history does not yet exist), a different message is shown. In this case, the window is closed as soon as you press ENTER.

Deleting a Record

When you mark a record in the "Con-nect Installation History" screen with any character and press PF6, the line "Mark _ to confirm deletion" appears at the bottom of the screen. To remove the record from the database, you have to mark the field in this line with any character and press ENTER.
