Background documentation How the Database Manager CLI Works Locate the document in the library structure

The Database Manager CLI is the client program of the Database Manager, which connects the DBM server to the computer. This computer is where the new database instance is created or where you should manage an existing database instance.

When you create a database instance, you define the very first user of the database instance. This user is called the first DBM operator. This user can log on to all database tools and has the most comprehensive rights for working with the database instance.

Initially, only this database system administrator can log on from the Database Manager to the new database instance. He or she can then use DBM commands and DBM options to create new database users and, if required, DBM operators for this database instance.

Only database system administrators and DBM operators can log on to the Database Manager to use DBM commands to manage the database instances for which they were created. To be able to execute DBM commands, each DBM operator must have the necessary server authorizations. The database system administrator has all server authorizations.

To execute DBM commands, the current database instance must be in the ONLINE operational state. Exceptions to this rule are explicitly specified in the prerequisites for executing a DBM command.

Calling up the Database Manager CLI is equivalent to opening a session. Once the specified DBM command has been processed, the system closes the session with the Database Manager.
