Training Site Personnel
If DSM/SCM users at your site have not previously used the HP NonStop SQL/MP or
HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF) products, they will need training
in those areas. For information about courses that HP offers, contact your HP
representative.
Guidelines for Assigning DSM/SCM Security Settings
The number of people assuming the roles of planner, operator, and database
administrator depends on the particular site. At least one planner is required. At a
smaller site, you can configure a single user ID as the planner, database administrator,
and operator. For a larger site, especially one with several remote target systems, you
might need one planner, one database administrator, and a separate operator for each
target system. Consider assigning a backup to fill these roles if the regular personnel
are unavailable.
Table 4-2 on page 4-10 summarizes the guidelines for assigning these roles as best
suits your work environment.
