Version 1.3.011
ORIGEN ZIP FILE DEMO, Version 1.3.011
Hardware requirements: Origen requires 640K and DOS 3.3 or higher.
TSRs must not be resident. Files should be set to 25 and buffers to 10.
A minimum of two megabytes of storage is needed on the file server or
hard drive.
ORIGEN DEMO
* Unzip the files in ORIDEMO.ZIP and copy them to a hard drive, network
drive or on to a high density floppy diskette. Make the drive\directory with
the files your current drive\directory, type ORIDEMO and press Enter.
To appreciate the steps that Origen completes during the logical configuration
of your file server, open the program and choose Configure from the main menu,
then Execute. This is a simulated configuration of a file server. You are
reading the messages that Origen generates during Execution, but the demo
will NOT configure your file server, overwrite your login script, or assign
trustee rights.
Like the real program, once the demo has simulated the logical configuration
of your server, it locks all options except Reports, Transfer/Export, and
Configure/Undo. To examine the rest of the Origen options, choose Undo.
Examine the Origen menu options, adding to, deleting, or changing the demo
data that was included on the disk.
1. SYSTEM menu: Set File Server Defaults. Import and edit Login Script
template.
2. GROUP menu: Create workgroups and application groups. Assign
trustee rights.
3. USER menu: Add users and assign them to groups.
4. REPORTS menu: Review report onscreen or print. Customize title page
of reports.
5. TRANSFER menu: Use Export to back up the server configuration to
another drive.
6. CONFIGURE menu: Execute server. Go to the reports menu to check the
ORIGEN.LOG and PASSWORD.LOG. After you Undo, check
the UNDO.LOG.
LIFETIME DOCUMENTATION -- READING THE BINDERY
Origen reads an existing file server's bindery even if the server was not
initially configured with Origen, and produces reports documenting the
existing server: groups, users, trustee rights, group configuration, and file
server defaults.
1. Type BIND2ORI and press Enter. Your userid and default server will
display in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. SELECTIONS menu:
Choose which server to read. The menu box lists the attached servers where
you have supervisor rights.
Mark Groups on the selected server as Application Group or Work Group, or Not
Selected (in which case Origen does not record information about the group's
trustee assignments). You MUST enter this menu and press <F10> to confirm
your choices (even if you accept the defaults), in order to read the server's
bindery.
Specify Output: Type the directory path where files should be stored. If
Origen export files are already stored there, you will be asked if you want to
overwrite them.
Execute: Execute when all values for server, groups, destination path, and
filters if any, have been selected.
3. FILTERS menu: Origen automatically skips each user's home directory
and mail directory, but you can add filters to screen out other trustee rights,
such as every user's access to an electronic mail system.
4. RESULTS menu: You may view or print the BIND2ORI.LOG. We recommend
that you import the files created by reading the bindery into Origen, for
reports that document your groups, users, trustee rights, group configuration,
and file server defaults.
This is a simulated reading of a file server bindery. The Origen demo program
is limited to recording the first five users and the first five groups found
on the selected server.
