Remote Account Definition Item
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.
