A remote account definition item enables a user to logon or logto an account on another database on another Reality or RealityX system, or on the same system. It is designated a R-pointer to the remote account as it contains a letter 'R' in attribute 1. Attribute 4 points to an entry in the Hosts section of the ROUTE-FILE, which specifies the route to the remote account. When a link is established, the user uses the item-id and the password specified in attribute 7 to log directly to the remote account, unless there is an L in attribute 1, in which case the user-id is prompted for.
Note: For more details on remote logon, refer to User's Reference: Administration.
