Hi Rajesh ;)
Um... first of all I am not all that comfortable putting out how to
access a database that you / your program may or may not be cleared to
access....
Second... some good points below on the possible causes...
Third, the most basic answer is you have not been granted access to the
database (ABDBX) by the appropriate authorities (normally the data owner,
data custodian, and potentially the DBA for the database)
Note that IIRC (and we all know about my memory! hehehe) if you are
granted the access you can provide the appropriate passwords and get access
released or not.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am facing an issue on one of the HP3000 machines I am
working
on , the following is my machine spec
RELEASE: C.75.00 MPE/iX HP31900 C.45.05 USER VERSION: C.75.01
I seem to be getting an error (MPE SECURITY VIOLATION) when
I try to access the Image database across accounts when another user is
using the database (but in read mode).
The following is the actual error
IMAGE RESULT AT %0000: CONDITION WORD = -1
MPE SECURITY VIOLATION
DBOPEN, MODE 5, ON ABDBX
PROGRAM = TSTUTM.RAJPRG.DSI2
SUBROUTINE = UTOPENDBX
LOCATION = DB OPEN
I am running a program (program is run from account1) which extracts data
from [dbase1.account1] and populates [dbase2.account2].Google gave me a
lead in the following link
http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/doc3k/BB171690020.12039/26
Though it is for "Information Access Server: Database Administration",
there is
one section that talks about security issues ..
***********************************************************
*************
Security Issues.
Files can be protected by security measures that limit file access
across
accounts. If this is the case, you can allow PC users to access data
as
follows:
* Have users log into the group and account where the files of
interest reside.
* Allow selected MPE users read access to the files by using the
:ALTGROUP and/or :ALTACCT commands.
* Release the files with the :RELEASE command.
* Configure the file as a formal file designator, and have the users
set up file equations to direct the file to the actual file.
***********************************************************
***************
I would be very greatful if you can help me resolve this mystry, the
following
are my thoughts
1. Does MPE restrict access to database files accross accounts
when "security " is turned on for a file
2. what exactly does the "security" feature for an MPE file actually mean ?
3. I get the MPE security violation error only when two users (one in
account1
and another in account2) are trying to access the database in account1.
user1 = opening database in mode1
user2 = opening database in mode5
Request you to kindly assist me in finding out the cause.
Thanks in advance.
