Diagnostics and CA Datacom/DB Accounting Statistics

CA Dataquery provides a diagnostics function to help the CA Dataquery Administrator determine the efficiency of the queries, dialogs or terms while executing with the system defaults and when the system defaults have been changed.

The CA Datacom/DB Accounting Statistics tell the CA Dataquery Administrator how the queries, dialogs or terms have executed in conjunction with CA Datacom/DB. The CA Dataquery Accounting Statistics are designed to show statistics on a user-by-user basis. Compound Boolean Selection statistics are included. See Using DQL Diagnostics for more information about using diagnostics. See Using the Accounting Facility for more information about CA Datacom/DB Accounting statistics.

To successfully sign on to CA Dataquery, the CA Datacom Datadictionary User Requirements Table (URT) and the CA Dataquery User Requirements Table (URT) must be open prior to any user issuing the DQRY signon command.

A CA Dataquery signon consists of a user name and an optional password which the user must enter to access CA Dataquery. You authorize each user by creating each user signon. See Authorizing Users for more information about authorizing users.

In addition, CA Dataquery provides a User Signon/Off Exit enabling your site to interface with other security packages such as CA ACF2, or CA Top Secret. The use of other security packages can impact your standards for a valid user name and password.

It is important that you understand your site's signon procedures. Meet with the administrator in charge of security to gain a complete understanding of your site's signon security measures.
