RE: [U2] Plant hopping help
hmm. For some reasons I was thinking there were passwords in the rhosts files..not sure why. here is a wiki write up on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rlogin I use it currently between two system connected via a SLIP connection (modem), and it works nicely, but the chances of the other system being hacked (has to be physically, since it does not have an internet connection) is extremely small. I also used it between a Redhat machine at home with UV PE and our system here, but only for a test to see if I could pass connections from one UV machine to another. It worked, but I didn't feel comfortable with the exposure it opened up, although it was confined nicely, as that port was only allowed entry through the external firewall for only 1 IP address, so only my Home PC IP could actually get to the rlogin port of the machine, it was fairly secure for that connection.

Users from hosts listed in .rhosts / host.equiv are simply logged in without supplying a password. Hopefully, one would not add untrusted hosts or users to their .rhosts file regardless of whether the host was on the LAN or the WAN. Hopefully also, system administrators will not open up rlogin or telnet (or any other unsecure ports) to the outside world.

RE: [U2] Plant hopping help
Here's the whole situation...
There are plants 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. If a user is in plant 20, they
enter the customer entry screen, a prompt will appear asking for search
information (which can be phone, email, name, or account number) and
based on this, I go check against the customer master and log the user
to the plant that the customer belongs to. At this point, also based on
the type of input, I may put them into the customer screen or contact
screen or something else.
UPDATE:
I have achieved the plant change, so based on the search criteria, I get
the user to the correct plant, however I am still trying to find a way
to execute a command that places the user in the screen that I want them
in. Currently I am executing this in this fashion...
EXECUTE LOGTO :PLANT.NAME
EXECUTE MSO-03
CALL PV.SENDKEYS(1,1)
CALL PV.SENDKEYS(DW_IMP.PRM{ENTER},1)
RETURN
They get to NB-TRAINING but they do not get into the MSO-03 Screen, nor
does it output the 1 value to the screen or any field on the screen.
I also tried the EXECUTE MSO-03 command as a CALL
PV.SENDKEYS(MSO-03,1). I even sprinkled SLEEP commands in between
each execute and PV, and that did not seem to have an effect.
That's where I am stuck at this point, still trying little things here
and there. I think the problem I am running into is that once the LOGTO
is executed, my program loses control and the rest does not execute.
Thanks yet again...
Jason

I've never liked a system that has to LOGTO a bunch of different accts. I prefer running it out of one acct with remote file references.

It looks like this EXECUTE would do what I am looking for, however that's the concern that I have is executing this and then changing screens and preloading that screen with the customer's account information... During this process, my subroutine might lose control after the execute and the user will resume control. I was thinking about PV.SENDKEYS, would this help in this matter?

RE: [U2] Plant hopping help
Put a DW in front of the MSO-03 - EXECUTE DW MSO-03 and it should
work.

Here's the whole situation...
There are plants 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. If a user is in plant 20, they
enter the customer entry screen, a prompt will appear asking for search
information (which can be phone, email, name, or account number) and
based on this, I go check against the customer master and log the user
to the plant that the customer belongs to. At this point, also based on
the type of input, I may put them into the customer screen or contact
screen or something else.
UPDATE:
I have achieved the plant change, so based on the search criteria, I get
the user to the correct plant, however I am still trying to find a way
to execute a command that places the user in the screen that I want them
in. Currently I am executing this in this fashion...
EXECUTE LOGTO :PLANT.NAME
EXECUTE MSO-03
CALL PV.SENDKEYS(1,1)
CALL PV.SENDKEYS(DW_IMP.PRM{ENTER},1)
RETURN
They get to NB-TRAINING but they do not get into the MSO-03 Screen, nor
does it output the 1 value to the screen or any field on the screen.
I also tried the EXECUTE MSO-03 command as a CALL
PV.SENDKEYS(MSO-03,1). I even sprinkled SLEEP commands in between
each execute and PV, and that did not seem to have an effect.
That's where I am stuck at this point, still trying little things here
and there. I think the problem I am running into is that once the LOGTO
is executed, my program loses control and the rest does not execute.
Thanks yet again...

The ERP system is DataFlo. The current systems are either running
UniData or UniVerse on Unix or NT or Windows. DataFlo has a Multi-Plant
module for which you would set up a UniData or UniVerse account (on the
same system) for each Plant - for example:
ACCOUNT-A could be Plant 0 in California
ACCOUNT-B could be Plant 1 in New Mexico
ACCOUNT-C could be Plant 2 in Florida
With the Multi-plant module a couple of the features are that the plants
can be setup to 'share' data (like General Ledger), to order from each
other, and to drop-ship (Order from 1 plant but ship to customer from
another).
Jason,
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish (need more info).
* If user is trying to logon are you searching to see what Plant the
user belongs in so you can log them onto to the correct account? You
may wish to look at program SYS.35 and try Executing the LOGTO command
(as mentioned below).
* If user is at menu, they can use the LOGTO AccountPath or
AccountName or simply enter PLANT and choose which plant they wish to
go to.
* If user is in an Inquiry screen, there are subroutines to allow you to
pull data from another account...

if each plant is on a different machine, and all machines are running
unix, you could use the rlogin command.
WARNING: rlogin has some very serious security risks however.

Hi all,
I've been working on something that have run into a road block and
know it can be done, but I can't figure it out. We have a
multi-plant system and I need to take a user from one plant to
another based on some search criteria. I have the search routine
written out and have a place to call
RE: [U2] Plant hopping help
I have done similar things in the past with Dataflo and one problem I have
noticed with the LOGTO command is that the LOGIN paragraph is still executed
in full which can kill control from the calling program (mainly due to
PV.LOGON and the preview menu). I got around this by placing a line in the
LOGIN paragraph to skip to the end, and then setting the @LOGNAME to that
user temporarily. If you want to call screens from there you can use the
PREVIEW command. If you select the record before invoking the PREVIEW
command it will automatically load the record.
Ex:
The LOGIN Paragraph:
...
UDT.OPTIONS 103 OFF
HUSHBASIC OFF
STACKCOMMON ON
FLOAT.PRECISION 3
IF @LOGNAME = bypass THEN GO END
...
PV.LOGON
END: *
The calling Program:
...
CUST.ID='1000'
*
* Logto Plant
*
PLANT.DIR='/dbms/live/PLANTNAME'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
@LOGNAME='bypass'
EXECUTE 'LOGTO ':PLANT.DIR
@LOGNAME=SAVE.LOGIN
*
* Launch the screen
*
EXECUTE 'SELECT CUSTOMER ':CUST.ID:''
DATA CUSTOMER,SCRN1 ;* This is for the preview inputs (File Name/Screen
ID)
EXECUTE 'PREVIEW'

Ummm...passwords are not kept at all in .rhosts / host.equiv, only host names and (optionally) user and group names. Users from hosts listed in .rhosts / host.equiv are simply logged in without supplying a password. Hopefully, one would not add untrusted hosts or users to their .rhosts file regardless of whether the host was on the LAN or the WAN.

RE: [U2] Plant hopping help
Always put in positive checks if your system is sensitive and you are exposed to potentially hostile network environments. It is possible for someone with the right tools (and you can download them :-( ) to subvert inter-host authorisation at the TCP Network level. Port blockers and spoofed TCP packet credentials are just part of the game.. S.A.T.A.N. was just the first of a set of tools that have been developed for legitimate purposes and misused. Later tools were deliberately crafted. Once a trust is set up between two systems or networks you are potentially vulnerable. If you *have* to sue trusted relationships I am sure you use separate physical networks and IP filtering. Don't you ? B.T.W.
