Utilities

This is a reference guide for all users of Com-plete, whether they be application programmers, terminal operators, system programmers, computer operators or system administrators. It describes all Com-plete online utility programs used to maintain your individual environment, access system objects, and maintain the Com-plete system as a whole, including all privileged functions.

Many of the utilities and functions described in this documentation require that you are specially authorized. A distinction is made beween the following:

  • General User:
    All users of Com-plete have access to utilities and functions available to the general user. If a utility or function is not marked otherwise in this documentation, it is available to the general user;

  • Control User:
    In order to have access to certain utilities and functions, you need control status. Those utilities and functions requiring control status are marked "Control User".

  • Administrator:
    Users with administrator status have access to all utilities described in this documentation. Those utilities and functions restricted to the administrator are marked "Administrator" and require knowledge of the maintenance password.

Note that control status is assigned to you through the user ID or model definition, or it can be overwritten in ULOGX1.
