Changing the Profile of a Virtual User
The profile of a virtual user is changed using User ID Management Services (UMS).
This changes the details in the user ID definition record of the user. If the details are
changed, a real user can use the SUBMIT and SIGNON commands from OCS to
implement the changes and refresh the profile of the virtual user. The following
command refreshes the profile of the Background Monitor after its user ID definition
record is changed:
SUBMIT BMON SIGNON
From OCS, a real user can use the SUBMIT and PROFILE commands to display or
modify some aspects of the profile of a virtual user. The following command displays
the profile of the Background Monitor:
SUBMIT BMON PROFILE
You must be able to receive both monitor-class and unsolicited messages to see the
results of this command. The following command allows you to do this:
PROFILE UNSOL=YES MONMSG=YES
Settings of the PROFILE command that determine command entry and retention in
OCS, message display on an OCS window, and the appearance of an OCS window are
not meaningful to a virtual user. Therefore, the operands of the PROFILE command
that determine these settings are not included in the results of the command.
The following command changes the operator profile of the Background Monitor to
allow the receipt of Event Management Service (EMS) and unsolicited messages:
SUBMIT BMON PROFILE EMS=YES UNSOL=YES
Note If the user ID definition record of the Background Monitor does not allow it to receive EMS messages, the
EMS=YES operand is ignored.
The SHOW USERS command displays information about virtual users.
Note You can automate message processing by a virtual user by specifying a MSGPROC NCL procedure for
the user and by changing its user ID definition record to enable the receipt of EMS, monitor-class, and
unsolicited messages (by changing the values in the Receive EMS Messages, Monitor Status, and
Unsolicited Message Receipt fields, respectively, in UMS).
Remote Users A remote user is a person who logs on to a remote NonStop NET/MASTER MS
system (using the SIGNON link-name command) after logging on to a NonStop
NET/MASTER MS system at a local terminal.
This type of user has at least two NonStop NET/MASTER MS profiles. One profile is
created by a user ID definition record at the local system and determines what the user
can do at the local system. Another profile is created by a user ID definition record at
the remote system and determines what the user can do at the remote system.
