Administrative Screens › User Limits and Defaults Screen—ULIM

User Limits and Defaults Screen—ULIM

Description

The User Limits and Defaults screen allows you to perform the following functions:

• Assign space allocations for the user that override the system defaults
• Display the amount of space currently available for storing the user's tables
• Assign an area for storing the user's tables
• Assign the default model map, dialog, and subschema for the user
• Assign default passkey authorization; for example, giving only LIST and COPY passkeys to a user allows the user to access data but not to create or modify data

The changes made on the User Limits and Defaults screen do not affect the user's current ASF session. These changes take effect either the next time the user signs on to ASF or when the user leaves ASF and gets back in. This screen is available only to users with administrative authority.

Access

If you have administrative authority, you can access the User Limits and Defaults screen in one of the following ways:

• Select the User Limits And Defaults function from the Administrator Control screen; you can select the function by pressing [PF6].
• Select the Assign User Limits And Defaults function from the Catalog Control screen.
• Enter ULIM in the screen name field of any screen.

Fields

User Name

[PF1] - Help

Allocation Limits And Defaults For User's Tables

Establish the amount of storage allocated for the user's tables and unstructured objects, as follows:

Total Allocation Limit (No. of Tables)

The first column displays the total number of tables allowed for the user. The second column (Unstructured Objects) displays the total number of bytes of storage allowed for all unstructured objects owned by the user.

Current Total Allocation

The first column displays the total number of tables allocated for the user. The second column displays the total number of bytes currently allocated for the user's unstructured objects.

Area Name

Enter the name of the area that will hold tables owned by the user. This area name will override the system default area and can be overridden on the Extended Table Definition screen by an ASF administrator.

Default Models For Tables

Allows you to override system default model names for the user:

Map

Enter the name of the default model map. This model map will override the system default map name.

Version

Enter the version number of the default model map.

Dialog

Enter the name of the module containing model dialog syntax to override the system default model module.

Version

Enter the version number of the default model dialog.

Subschema

Version

Enter the version number of the default model subschema.

Passkey Authorization (Specify Y Or N)

Establish authorizations for the user that override any passkeys held through ownership or assignment. For example, disallowing Create access to DATA-ENTRY-CLERK means that the user can add rows to an existing table, but cannot define a new table.

Erase

List
