In the start parameter file, you define the database (instance of the Resource Manager) using an open string and, if required by the Resource Manager, you specify a close string. The database system Oracle do not require a close string.
The specifications for the open string and close string must be supplied by the respective Resource Manager. The syntax of these specifications therefore also depends on the particular Resource Manager and can be found in the manual for the Resource Manager used. openUTM transfers the strings from the start parameter file to the Resource Manager without checking them. Each string must be enclosed in double quotes and can be up to 255 characters long.
The open string and close string are specified in one line in the start parameter file, separated by a blank (a close string is only specified if required by the Resource Manager):
.RMXA RM="name", OS="openstring" [CS="closestring"]
The line can contain a maximum of 560 characters in total.
Specifying access data for the Oracle database
You can specify the access data for the database (user name, password) either in the start parameters or in the UTM generation, whereby the following applies:
Specification in the start parameters takes priority over UTM generation. You can either specify both user name and password or just the password or just the user name. In all three cases, the message K238 is output when starting the UTM application.
If you want to use the access data from UTM generation (see "Example of Oracle start parameters"), you must specify the placeholders *UTMUSER (for the user name) and *UTMPASS (for the password) in the start parameters. When establishing a connection to Oracle, openUTM automatically replaces the generic placeholders *UTMUSER and *UTMPASS with the user name and password generated in the RMXA statement.
For security reasons, storing the access data in the UTM generation is recommended.
The access data can be changed later by administration.
