User Guide

SAP AG November 2002
Required Options
If you do not enter all the required user data as options [Page 31], or if you were unable to log
on to the database instance [Page
132] with that user data, the SAP DB tools will react as
follows:
• DBMGUI [Page
134], SQL Studio [Page 65]
Entry of options is not required. These tools are started even if options are not entered, or
if options are incorrect or incomplete. DBMGUI and SQL Studio always display a logon
screen. In the logon screen, enter the user data required to log on to the database
instance.
• DBMCLI [Page
133]
Only some of the options required to log on to the database instance were entered, or
they were incorrect. DBMCLI starts and you are connected to the DBM Server. However,
you are not logged on to the database instance. In this instance, the DBMCLI can only be
used to call DBM commands that are not related to the database (for example, help,
dbm_version).
You need to connect to the database instance to use all the DBMCLI functions. Enter the
option -d <database_name> , if the database instance is on the local computer, and
enter the option -n <server_node> as well if the database instance is on a remote
computer.
Further user data (such as user name, ID) can be transferred as options (for example -u)
or, if required, as DBM commands (for example user_logon).
You should always start DBMCLI entering the options -d, -u and, if required, -n
when calling the tool (Options (DBMCLI) [Page
61]).
• LOADERCLI [Page
148]
The minimum required option -d <database_name> for logging on to the database
instance and the required option -b <command_file> for entering the command file
were not entered at all, were incomplete, or incorrect. LOADERCLI is not started, but
displays a list of all possible options.
Log on to the SAP DB Loader again by entering the required options.
Further user data (such as user name, ID) can be transferred as options (for example -u)
or, if required, as commands (for example use_user).
When you call the tool, you should always start the LOADERCLI by entering the
required options -d and -b (Options (LOADERCLI) [Page
64]).
User Data and XUSER
Using the tool XUSER, you can predefine and save user data (using XUSER [Page 35]). You
can access your XUSER data [Page 35] when you call the Database Manager CLI [Page
133] or a precompiler program or when you start an SAP system. In this case, the user would
use the data stored under a certain user key (USER_KEY).
• Windows NT: You can manage individual user data in this way if, for example, more than
one database user is using the same Windows PC and each user is logging on under a
different name.
• UNIX: You can manage individual user data in this way if, for example, more than one
database user is using the same HOME directory and each user is logging on under a
different name.
