RE: Authority to Mapics Files from PC programs

Hrishikesh,

If you have a fairly controlled environment and decent user security you
can run the following command on a mapics file library to grant read
authority. There are a million ways to skin this cat tho, I agree that
AMAPICS should not be a group authority, it is way to dangerous! And
configuring client access odbc under a powerful profile is dangerous as
well. 

Note you do need to have everyone out of MAPICS to run this since it
needs and exclusive lock over the files it changes!

 GRTOBJAUT OBJ(AMFLIBT/*ALL)  
           OBJTYPE(*FILE)     
           USER(*PUBLIC)      
           AUT(*USE)          

Regards

Konrad

Subject: Authority to Mapics Files from PC programs


   Hi all:

    

   We have started developing many PC programs that access Mapics Files
via
   ODBC & SQL. The users who use these PC programs are also Mapics
Users.
   Therefore, they already have atleast 'Read' access to Popular Mapics
   files. But when the same users are trying to access the files from PC
   programs, they get the following error message:

   *** START ***

   General SQL error.

   [IBM][Client Access Express ODBC Driver [32-bit][DB2/400 SQL]SQL0551
- Not
   authorized to object ITEMASA in AMFLIBQ type *FILE.

   ***END***

   How to deal with this problem?

   Thanks in advance.

    

   Regards,
