SASEFAME Interface Engine

Whether you use a master server or an MCADBS server, the appropriate configuration file is necessary. For the master server, on UNIX, your configuration file might look like this:

cat master1.config
security access all
dbback $FAME/frdb/dbback

Your master command could look like this:

$FAME/frdb/master -p \#5555 -s master1.config > master1.log &

For more information about the master server command, visit the following URL:

   servers/master_server_command.htm

To manage your MCADBS Fame server processes, you can start the FACS daemon on your Fame server. On Windows, enter the facsd command in the command window (if that is your Fame server):

%FAME%\frdb\64\facsd -d U:\fame940\doc\ -p 2990 -o U:\fame940\test\facs
    -s U:\fame940\doc\facsd.config

After you start the FACS daemon this way, you can use it for user authentication, access control, and accounting and logging facilities of Fame access control and accounting. To set up authentication, you can use the facsq command as follows:

%FAME%\frdb\64\facsq -p 2990 adduser <fame_username> <fame_password>

The user name and password in the adduser function are the same as those that are specified in the SASEFAME LIBNAME statement’s USER= and PASS= options.

    facs/facsq_access_control_command.htm

Next you start your Fame server. The MCADBS server command, on Windows, looks like this:

C:\PROGRA~2\FAME\frdb\64\mcadbs.exe -n 2960 -p 2961 -s U:\fame940\doc\mcadbs.config
    -o U:\fame940\doc\mcadbs.log

For a more complete discussion, see the section "Start the MCADBS Server" in Guide to MarketMap Database Servers.

After starting the server, you can ask for information about the MACDBS server, as shown in the following section, Using the MCADBS Show Function.
