Declaring Connection Attributes

In order to access data on the Supra Central Physical Data Manager (PDM), you must have a valid user name and password. You can issue the user name and password to the Central PDM in several ways:

The adapter ascertains the user name and password with the following steps:

  1. It checks the Access File.
  2. If the user name and password are not coded in the Access File, the adapter checks whether the user issued the SET commands to set the user name and password.
  3. If the adapter has not resolved the user name and password using the Access File or SET commands, it invokes the security exit.
