We are running SB on UniData on Linux.  There is a command in SB called LISTU.  It beings back:

Port, Pid, Account Name, SB+ User, NT User, Login Date/Time

Questions are:

1) Where does it get the Account Name?  I have found this to not be 100% correct, but still want to know.

2) Where does it get the SB+ User?  Again, this is not always correct, so what is it doing?

    Hi,

    • use /UPDATE.ACCOUNT which edit account name entry in DMACCOUNTS file.
    • use /SEC.USER.SETUP (sb+, Security/UserSecuritySetup/ShortName) ; stored into DMSECURITY ~sbuserid ; which is copied into DMSECURITY  $PORT@port when sb.login is done.

    I am aware of those.  That is not what I am looking for.  Let me try again.

    If I type /LISTU from within SB, I get something like this:

    Red: Under the "Account Name", how does it know which account a user is in?
    Yellow: Under the "NT user"  (which I assume in the Linux user id), there are 8 rbadmin sessions.  Why is one tied to ISRAEJR and one tied to ICNUSER???  Why are they all not the same?

    Hi

    SB use LISTU of udt/uv to define on which account users works.

    About sbuser, it's set when the session start (sb.login,...).

    Hello John,

    SB /LISTU gets the Account Name and SB+ User from a temporary DMSECURITY record for the port; $PASS:@PORT

    These temporary records can get out of sync due to abnormal session terminations.

    Try running the /CLEAN.SYSTEM process when all users are off the system.

    Running the /CLEAN.SYSTEM process is recommended as part of your regular after-hours system maintenance.

    Thanks, Mark.
