Privileged users

Privileged SM2 users are users who have been assigned the system privilege SW-MONITOR-ADMINISTRATION. These fall into the following categories: "primary" administrators, "secondary" administrators and other privileged users.

Entry of an administration statement gives the first privileged SM2 user the status of SM2 primary administrator. This user retains this status until he/she terminates his/her program or switches over to online analysis using the CALL-EVALUATION-PART statement. The SM2 primary administrator has all privileges, and there can only be one primary adminis- trator at any one time.

The primary administrator is the only person who is authorized to admit other (secondary) administrators (MODIFY-ADMINISTRATOR-ADMISSION statement) and to permit nonpriv- ileged users to run monitoring programs (MODIFY-USER-ADMISSION).

With the exception of the MODIFY-ADMISSION statements, the secondary administrators have the same rights as the primary administrator.

All administrators can:

–create and close the SM2 output file

–set monitoring parameters

–activate or deactivate optional monitoring runs.

In addition to these privileges, the SM2 administrators can also use all statements of a nonprivileged user. All other privileged users are only offered the SHOW functions and the SELECT-HOSTS statement in the administration section.

Notes

SM2 cannot prevent the various administrators from carrying out operations which contflict with one another. It is only possible to make sensible use of the system if the different administrators agree on a common course of action.

Modification of the variables to be monitored and functions which can be added may influence the real-time monitoring of other SM2 users. Modification of the monitoring cycle applies to all SM2 users.

Nonprivileged users

All users who call the SM2 routine from a user ID without the system privilege SW-MONITOR-ADMINISTRATION are categorized as nonprivileged users. These users are only authorized to use the statements for controlling output during real-time monitoring.
