This Natural profile parameter is used as an identifier for
Adabas-related information; for example, for identification of data stored as a
result of an END
TRANSACTION statement.
| Possible settings | 1 - 8 characters | The setting is used as the user ID setting in an Adabas open call. |
|---|---|---|
OFF |
Natural does not issue any Adabas open and close commands at the
beginning of the Natural session. If, however, any ETID
and/or OPRB specifications are present in Natural
Security, these specifications are used in the subsequent open issued by
Natural Security. This parameter setting is provided for use in conjunction
with Natural Security to prevent Natural batch jobs that are sent at the same
time from causing duplicate user ID settings in an Adabas open call during the
initialization phase.

If the ETID parameter is set to blanks,
Natural does not issue any Adabas open and close commands; the
OPRB parameter (if
specified) and any ETID and OPRB
specifications in Natural Security are ignored. In this case, you are
recommended to set the Natural profile parameter DBCLOSE to ON
to enforce a close command at session end. Otherwise, the user is not logged
off from Adabas and the Adabas user queue element is not deleted. This may
cause an overflow situation in the Adabas user queue.

| Default setting | *INIT-USER |

| Dynamic specification | yes | |
| Specification within session | no |
Notes:
ETID setting is not the same
as the setting of the Natural system variable
*INIT-USER,
Natural issues an Adabas open with the specified ETID
setting (and OPRB
setting, if specified) at the beginning of the Natural session; this open
remains in effect until the end of the Natural session; any
ETID and OPRB specifications in
Natural Security are ignored.
ETID setting is the same as the
setting of *INIT-USER,
or if the ETID parameter is not specified, Natural
issues an Adabas open with the *INIT-USER setting
as ETID (and the OPRB setting, if specified)
at the beginning of the Natural session. If any Natural Security logon (initial
logon or any subsequent logon) would change the currently valid
ETID or OPRB setting (due to the
library-/user-specific ETID and
OPRB specifications in Natural Security), Natural
Security issues a new open with the new ETID and
OPRB settings. If the settings would remain the same
after a logon, Natural Security does not issue a new open.
ETID and
*INIT-USER
can be modified by user exit NATUEX1 during session startup. See
NATUEX1 - User
Exit for Authorization Control in the
Operations documentation.
ETID options available with
ETID=OFF which can be set in Natural Security, see
Library and User Preset Values in
the Natural Security documentation.
