dictionary already exists and the SDINIT program will terminate. The existing dictionary capacities and/
or data will not be overwritten.
If you want to make changes to the existing dictionary capacities or password, you must choose the
Reinitialization option.
Initializing the Dictionary
The Dictionary Password
Once you have chosen the Initialization option, you will be asked to supply a password which will be used
to create the dictionary. Because the dictionary is, itself, a database, this is the database password which
the TurboIMAGE subsystem uses to create the database. It should not be confused with the scope
password which is the password you specify when accessing the dictionary. For security reasons, the
echo is turned off for entry of the password:
Dictionary database password >
If you enter [[RETURN]] instead of a password you will be reprompted. Note that System Dictionary
follows the MPE operating system convention of allowing only three incorrect passwords to be entered.
The SDINIT program will therefore terminate at the third incorrect entry.
When the correct password is entered, the dictionary will prompt for verification.
Verification of password >
The Verification of password> prompt allows you to check the correctness of the first password entry. If
you enter [[RETURN]] or if you do not enter the same password in response to this prompt, the following
message will appear and you will again be prompted for the password and verification:
Verification of password failed (SDERR 2205)
Knowledge of this password should be limited to the Dictionary Administrator (DA) in order to protect
dictionary security and integrity.
The SDPASS File
At this point, if the file SDPASS already exists, you will be prompted for permission to overwrite.
SDPASS.groupname.accountname already exists. Is it okay to overwrite (N/Y)?
If you answer "N" , SDINIT will terminate. If the answer is "Y" , SDPASS will be overwritten.
Defining the Capacities
The Default Capacities. Once the database password has been entered, System Dictionary displays the
following list of the HP-defined dictionary default capacities. You may use all of the default values for
these capacities by responding "Y" or [[RETURN]] to the Are the capacities correct? (Y/N) > prompt, or you
may choose to change these capacities. If you decide to make changes and respond "N", you will be allowed
to alter any or all of the values. See the paragraph below entitled "User-Defined Capacities." A definition
of each of the capacities is shown on the following page.
