SSH Reference Manual

Creating and Accessing the Database
The database is contained in a single Enscribe file. To create a new database, SSH2 needs to be started with the SSHCTL
parameter pointing to a non-existing file. In that case, the SSHCTLAUDIT parameter will control whether the database
will be created as an audited file or not.
To reuse an existing database, SSH2 needs to be started with SSH2 parameter SSHCTL pointing to an existing file.
The content of the database is viewed and maintained with the SSHCOM utility, which is described in the next section.
Exporting the Database
The SSHCTL database can be exported into text files in order to allow further processing of the content. The text files
are written in standard comma-separated form, which allows importing of the text files into speadsheet and database
programs or any SQL database.
For a description how to export the database please refer to the section "Miscellaneous commands in SSHCOM
" in
chapter "SSHCOM Reference".
Copying the Database
After copying the SSH database file you may need to alter table records depending on the requirements of the new SSH
environment.
The commands to alter attributes of existing records or to delete or add records are discussed in the next section.
