Database Login and Security Features

TOBI offers unparalleled customization and usability through its database creation and maintenance functions. Unfortunately, with such remarkable flexibility come many security issues. Therefore, TOBI supports two important levels of data security:

• Database Login Security
• Application and Screen Access Security

The first level of security manages various people’s access to any particular database in TOBI. This feature offers customizable database access; you can create numerous databases and allow a distinct set of users’ to access each one. For instance, a TOBI environment may allow individuals in the accounting department access to only relevant financial data while people in customer service can only access customer records, and all the while managers may work with a unique database that combines up-to-date information from each of the two.

The second level of security manages each user’s rights of use within a particular database. A TOBI System Administrator can manage and define each user's database privileges in terms of which TOBI applications and functions a user is authorized to use after logging into any given database. These privileges may be tailored for any and every individual user, or copied from one user to be applied department-wide.  Organizations may also create standard user access roles or profiles and apply them to new employees or across departments.

Auto Processing Scheduler and AutoPilot

TOBI’s Auto Processing Scheduler and AutoPilot applications allow you to schedule procedures and/or programs to be queued for execution according to a defined schedule. These two features are particularly useful in a multi-database configuration where you need to automate the transfer and updating of data between various databases. TOBI’s AutoPilot application monitors the Scheduler and executes specified EDI or other procedures on a regular basis.

In a network environment involving the interchange of large amounts of data between multiple TOBI and other databases, you may run the AutoPilot on a dedicated network PC for better performance. Furthermore, in an intensive distributed database environment, you may run the AutoPilot utility on multiple network PCs to increase data interchange performance and reliability between multiple TOBI and other databases.
