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 (except the statements SHOW- and SELECT-HOSTS). 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 administrator 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 nonprivileged 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 other privileged users are only offered the SHOW functions and the SELECT-HOSTS statement in the administration section.
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.
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 user 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.
