Network Utility and Visual DBA
The GUI-based tools Director, Network Utility (ingnet), and Visual DBA can all be used to define vnodes containing the connection and authorization data used by the Communications Server to access remote instances.
Because Network Utility is dedicated to defining and managing vnodes, it is the preferred tool for performing these tasks in Actian X.
System administrators (or any user with the appropriate Actian X privileges) can use these visual tools to perform the following tasks:
• Add, change, or delete global remote user authorizations or connection data entries.
• Add, change, or delete any user’s private remote user authorizations or connection data entries.
• Define an Installation Password for the local instance
End users can use these visual tools to:
• Add, change, or delete their private connection data entries.
• Add, change, or delete their private remote user authorizations.
In Network Utility and Visual DBA, vnodes are defined using vnode objects. A vnode object specifies a virtual node name, and login and connection information. Using the Nodes branch in the Virtual Nodes toolbar/window, you can create and alter vnodes, view vnode objects, and drop vnode objects. Detailed steps for these procedures can be found in the Procedures section of online help for Network Utility and Visual DBA.
In Actian Director, vnodes are referred to as Server Connection Definitions.
