#: None of the following words can be used: ALL, HiRDB, MASTER, or PUBLIC.

If the system switchover facility is to be used with a HiRDB parallel server configuration or HiRDB single server configuration, specify the same user ID as the HiRDB administrator registered in the OS for all server machines that operate HiRDB. Note that it is not necessary to use the same password.

Note
A password should be registered after the user ID has been registered.
The user who uses the user ID registered here to log onto the system is called the HiRDB administrator. The following privileges are granted to the HiRDB administrator:
  1. Access privilege as the owner of various HiRDB system files and directories. The holder of this privilege can prohibit write operations by other users.
  2. Privilege to execute the HiRDB operation commands and utilities.
