Processing Sequence

When this utility is run, the following steps are performed:

  1. Check table of users - Con-nect
    All users authorized in the Con-nect system file are verified against the central directory's authorization tables. If a user is not authorized in the authorization tables, authorization for the user is restored.

  2. Check table of users - Central Directory
    All authorized users in the central directory's authorization tables are verified against the Con-nect system file. If a user is not authorized or defined in Con-nect, authorization for that user is deleted from the authorization tables.

  3. Check table of cabinets - Con-nect
    All authorized public cabinets in the Con-nect system file are verified against the central directory's authorization tables. If a cabinet is not authorized in the authorization tables, authorization for the cabinet is restored.

  4. Check table of cabinets - Central Directory
    All authorized public cabinets in the central directory's authorization tables are verified against Con-nect. If a cabinet is not authorized or defined in Con-nect, authorization for that cabinet is deleted from the authorization tables.

  5. Check table of members - Con-nect
    All authorized external memberships in the Con-nect system file are verified against the central directory's authorization tables. The following occurs:

    • If an external membership is not authorized in the authorization tables and the external user is not authorized by his local Con-nect, authorization for the membership is deleted from Con-nect.

    • If an external membership is not authorized in the authorization tables but the external user is authorized by his local Con-nect, authorization for the membership is restored in the authorization tables.

  6. Check table of members - Central Directory
    All authorized external memberships in the central directory's authorization tables are verified against the Con-nect system file. If an external membership is not authorized in Con-nect, authorization is deleted from the authorization tables.
