Before you can start using a ClearPath MCP test database you must first create a CAPABILITIES file in the OLEDB subdirectory of the system on the host. This file gives you write access to the system.
Use CANDE to create the file:
Press the home key and type ON CANDE<transmit>.
Press the home key and type MAKE <System Name>/OLEDB/CAPABILITIES DATA<transmit>. This recreates the file as a data (text) file.
Press the home key and type SEQ<transmit>.
This sequences the file so you can enter the required entries.
A screen is displayed with a column of numbers. Enter the following after the first line:
00000100<USERID> UPDATE Insert DELETE<transmit>.
You must enter one line for each user that requires access. User ids must be in uppercase.
Press the home key and type SAVE<transmit>.
You can also create an entry with a userid of Else, which allows access to userids that have not been explicitly included.
If this file is not created or a user does not have an entry, read-only access is provided.
Refer to the OLE DB Data Provider for ClearPath MCP documentation for more information on how to use the CAPABILITIES file.
