Database Manager Operators (DBM Operators)
Operators that work with the database administration tool Database Manager are called Database Manager operators (DBM operators). Depending on their
DBM operator authorizations, they can start and stop databases, perform backups, change database parameters, and so on.When registering a new database instance, you must define the first DBM operator.
During the registration of the new database instance, the system prompts you to define this operator by entering a name and password. You can change the operator’s password again later.
The operator defined in this way is responsible for the control and monitoring of the database system and for performing backups. The operator is authorized to run all functions of the Database Manager in every operation status. This operator can create additional DBM operators and assign all or some of these authorizations to them.
The first operator can log on to the Database Manager more than once, and can therefore, for example, request additional operating parameters during long-running functions.
DBM operators are not database users. To be able to work with a database, you must create database users.
