UUA– Update User Attributes

This command updates the attributes for a Dimensions user.

The syntax is as follows:

UUA <UserId> [/ATTRIBUTES=(<attribute-id>=<value>,
<attribute-id>=<value>,…)] [/[NO]PASSWORD_SAVE]

where

Parameter | Description
<UserId> | Specifies the login id of the Dimensions user.
<attribute-id> | Specifies an attribute ID.
<value> | Specifies the attribute value.
/[NO]PASSWORD_SAVE | Certain Dimensions client tools have a "remote automatic login" facility (see, for example, the PC Client UserTo be able to utilize this facility, the userlogin password on the remote Dimensions server must be saved locally on the client. When you update a Dimensions user's attributes: This facility is permitted by specifying the /PASSWORD_SAVE qualifier. Subsequently, the first time a client tool is invoked the user will have the option in the Login dialog of storing their remote login password in an encrypted format on the client (under the existing connection specific key with an Access Control List (ACL) applied to it for added security). Further remote logins will than be automatic unless the CTRL or Shift key is kept depressed during client invocation. This facility is deactivated by specifying the /NOPASSWORD_SAVE qualifier. If neither the /PASSWORD_SAVE nor the /NOPASSWORD_SAVE is specified, then the latter is the assumed default. If the user subsequently changes their remote login password: The next time they try an automatic remote login from one of the specified client tools, they will receive a message informing them that their stored remote login password is incorrect. The Login dialog will be displayed prompting them for their (new) remote login password. Once connection has been established, the new remote login password will get stored as described above. From then on, subsequent remote logins will again be automatic. The length of each item of information about the new user is limited, and any excess will be truncated. Base database names and passwords are limited to 25 characters and logins IDs to 64 characters. An advisory email message is sent to the user giving details on changes to the appropriate environment for running Dimensions. The Dimensions Batch Log is mailed to the DBA.

For example, if user peter was registered as a Dimensions user, and his site and passport number had been changed, then the command is:

UUA peter /ATTRIBUTES=(site=Michigan, passport_id=1243)
