SX2000 maintenance logs

Hi

Well the command is " logs purge maint new N " where N is the number of entries to delete. what will happen though is you will see system logging off , So you will need to log in as installer then delete them

Why not just change the installer level password ?

Ian

Ahhh.... thanks for that!

I wanna catch the b***er...

What level is the customer logging in under? If he has the installer password he's pretty much free to edit any form. However, MAINT21, MAINT2 and SUPERVISOR access levels can each be individually restricted as to which forms they can and cannot access. You can go so far as to grant either read only, read/write or NO access to whichever forms you choose.

You might want to change the PW on the installer and then give him MAINT1 priviledges with access only to the forms he actually needs. It's pretty easy to do.

Yeah thanks for that suggestion, but I want to catch him out without necessarily alerting him to the fact that someone else may have a higher level access than he does. If he sees another user logging in & out in the maint logs, he will just ask me who is SYSTEM and what is the password & what does it do etc etc.... Each time he buggers something up, I just correct it, then restrict installer access to that particular form.

Didn't realize you could restrict the "installer" from any form. Thot that was more the purview of MAINT1/MAINT2/SUPERVISOR access levels. Ya learn sump'n every day it seems. Shame session logging won't capture CDE.

Here's a trick... if it's non-redundant, i.e., a microlight, leave him a little reminder you were there with a bulletin banner on the bottom of his screen. Sample syntax: (minus the quotes) "EC *** NOTICE: ALL SYSTEM PROGRAMMING ACTIVITY IS BEING LOGGED ***"

"EC" is sometimes a handy little command ;-)

Hi

Well I know I cant alter what installer can access on my Lab system.

Ian

Exactly

I Like that idea! How do you remove the message? EC without any text?
