For
DataFlo users
One
way to control access to the wIntegrate Query Builder is to assign a Group Code
to the WIN.SERVER Process in the “Process Control Entry” selection on the
System Utility Menu.
In
order to run the Query Builder, the user must have been assigned the same Group
Code as that on the WIN.SERVER Process. If the user does not have the matching
Group Code, then when the Query Builder is executed, wIntegrate will return a
message to the PC that it is unable to start WIN.SERVER on the Host PC.
You’ll
also need to restrict access to TCL, since users can do listings at TCL that are
the equivalent of any query builder processes.
For
Non-DataFlo users
The
key is adding a distinction to the user control table that can be used to define
which users should have access to the query builder, and then teaching “WIN.SERVER”
to recognize that distinction. For instance, one could add a field “Allow
Query Builder (Y/N)” to the user control record.
Then,
one must update WIN.SERVER to first check who the user is (you can use the “@logname”
standard variable), and then use that value to read the user control
record.
Finally,
add code to WIN.SERVER to check the flag to see if people can continue.
Unfortunately, that means that each time you upgrade wIntegrate you will need to
update WIN.SERVER.
