SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring PUBLIC 9 2 Get Started with SAP IQ Cockpit
Start, stop, and configure the SAP IQ Cockpit server.
In this section:
Start and Stop the SAP IQ Cockpit Server [page 10] You can start SAP IQ Cockpit server manually or set the service to start automatically and to restart in case of failure.
2.1 Start and Stop the SAP IQ Cockpit Server
You can start SAP IQ Cockpit server manually or set the service to start automatically and to restart in case of failure.
If you elect to run the SAP IQ Cockpit server manually, you must issue a command every time you want to start or shut down the server. If you elect to run as a service (recommended), you can configure the service to start and restart automatically.
When you install the SAP IQ Cockpit in Windows, the installer offers you the option to set up the cockpit to run as a service. If you want the cockpit to run as a service (daemon) in UNIX, you must set up the service yourself.
Regardless of the start method used, wait at least five minutes after startup to log in to the SAP IQ Cockpit. Startup triggers automatic discovery, technical user verification, and collection jobs. Competing with these processes may cause unexpected behavior. Use the cockpit.bat -status (for Windows) and cockpit.sh -status (for UNIX) commands to check the current cockpit status. For details about these commands, use the cockpit.bat -h (for Windows) and cockpit.sh -h (for UNIX).

Resetting the user’s HOME environment variable to a writable directory does not solve the problem.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Get Started with SAP IQ Cockpit PUBLIC 13 Context
If you run SAP IQ Cockpit server as a service, you can still manually start and stop the service, as needed. By default, if you install SAP IQ Cockpit to run as a service, the service is configured to automatically start, but not automatically restart. You must configure this manually.
Procedure
1. To configure automatic restart: a. In Windows, open Services. b. Locate “Cockpit” in the Services list. It may be followed by a release number; if the service is for an instance, it is also followed by the instance name. Service names do not distinguish between agents and servers. If the service is running, the Status column displays “Started.” c. Click the Recovery tab and change the First, Second, and Subsequent failures to Restart the Service. d. Click OK. 2. To manually start the service:
Option Description

You can set the service to start automatically and to restart in case of failure. SAP recommends running SAP IQ Cockpit as a service.
Prerequisites
Ensure that your home directory—that is, the home directory of the user who starts SAP IQ Cockpit—is writable from the SAP IQ Cockpit host. If the starting user cannot write to the home directory, SAP IQ Cockpit logs an error and fails to launch. Resetting the user’s HOME environment variable to a writable directory does not solve the problem.
Context
A UNIX service is a daemon process that starts automatically after the machine is started and runs in the background. UNIX installations of SAP IQ Cockpit server include a shell script, cockpitd, located at
Note
SAP recommends that if you are not familiar with setting up services in UNIX, you delegate this task to a system administrator or consult the system administration documentation for your UNIX platform.
Procedure
1. Open cockpitd and make these changes: ○ Change the line that sets the SYBASE variable to the location of your SAP installation (that is, the parent directory of COCKPIT-4, the SAP IQ Cockpit installation directory). By default, this directory is called /opt/Sybase if you installed SAP IQ Cockpit on a machine with an existing SAP product or environment variable; otherwise the default parent directory is /opt/sap. ○ Set the COCKPIT_HOME environment variable to
SCRIPT_NAME=cockpit.sh
to:
SCRIPT_NAME="cockpit.sh -instance

[-p | --port {
[{-start | --start} | {-stop | --stop}] [-status | --status]
[-user | --user
[-v | -version | --version]
Parameters
● -a | --address RMI-service-address The address for the RMI service to use; must be an IP address on this machine or the name of this machine (which is the default). ● -b | --bitwidth Return an informational only string identifying the bit width (32 or 64) of the underlying platform. If you use this option, the cockpit command does not start the SAP IQ Cockpit. ● --dbpassword Change the password of the default dba account provided for the repository database. It prompts you for the new password, validates it, and starts the SAP IQ Cockpit server. This option does not work if you start the SAP IQ Cockpit in the background—it fails to start if there is no console. ● -disable | --disable service-name,service-name... Disable the specified services. This option does not work while SAP IQ Cockpit is running or as part of a command that starts the SAP IQ Cockpit. To use it, shut down the SAP IQ Cockpit, execute cockpit --disable, then restart. See under --ports for service names; separate each service from the next with a comma. ● -enable | --enable service-name,service-name... Enable the specified services. Separate each service from the next with a comma. When you use this option, cockpit does not start SAP IQ Cockpit—use a separate command to start the SAP IQ Cockpit. ● -h | --help Display help and usage information for the cockpit command. If you use this option, cockpit does not start SAP IQ Cockpit. ● -I | --info [information-category] Display the specified categories of information about SAP IQ Cockpit. Separate each category from the next with a comma. The information categories are:
all Returns all the information provided by the sys, ports, and services categories. Default option. sys Returns general information about this instance of SAP IQ Cockpit, including the version, the home (installation) directory, the host machine’s name and IP address, the RMI port number, the messaging level, and details about the platform and Java installation. ports Lists all the ports on which the SAP IQ Cockpit and its services listen, indicates whether each port is in use, and shows the service running on each port. services Lists all the services known to the SAP IQ Cockpit, indicates whether each service is enabled, and lists other services on which each service depends. sysprop Lists all the Java system properties known to the Java VM and their values. env Lists the complete Java VM process environment. ● -instance [instance-name] Use with other options (-start and -stop, for example) to specify an instance in a shared disk deployment. If you do not enter a name for the instance, it defaults to the host name. ● -m | --message message-level Set the amount of detail recorded in system logs; also known as the logging level. Valid values are OFF, FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, and ALL. WARN is the default.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Get Started with SAP IQ Cockpit PUBLIC 17 ● -password | --password Specify the password of the user account SAP IQ Cockpit uses to stop servers or query them for status. Use this option with --user. When you enter a command with --user but without --password, the console prompts you to enter a password. ● -p | --port {port-name=port-number | service-name:property-name=port-number} Configure the specified service to run on the specified port. Changing ports is useful if you discover a port conflict between SAP IQ Cockpit and other software on the same system. When you use this option, cockpit does not start SAP IQ Cockpit—use a separate command to start the SAP IQ Cockpit.
Valid port names, service names and property names are:
Port Name Description Service Names Property Names Default Port
db Database port SccSADataserver com.sybase.asa.server.port 4638
Messaging messaging.db.port

tds Tabular Data Stream Tds tdsPort 4998 port (used to communi cate with other SAP da tabase products)
You can also execute cockpit --info ports to display service names and associated property names; they appear in the first two columns of the output.
● -start | --start Start the SAP IQ Cockpit. This is the default option—if you execute cockpit with no options, it starts the SAP IQ Cockpit. This option cannot be combined in the same command with options that set ports or enable or disable services; use a separate cockpit command to start the SAP IQ Cockpit. ● -status | --status Display a status message indicating whether the SAP IQ Cockpit is running. ● -stop | --stop Shut down the SAP IQ Cockpit if it is running. ● -user | --user [login-name] Specify the user account SAP IQ Cockpit uses to stop managed servers or query them for status. Use this option with --password. If you do not enter a login name, the console prompts you to enter one. ● -v | -version | --version Display the version of SAP IQ Cockpit software running on this system. If you use this option, cockpit does not start SAP IQ Cockpit.
Examples
Set the RMI port
Each of these commands sets the RMI port to 5992. The first command demonstrates the port name syntax; the second demonstrates the service name:property name syntax:
cockpit --port rmi=5992
cockpit --port RMI:port=5992
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 18 PUBLIC Get Started with SAP IQ Cockpit Set the RMI port and start SAP IQ Cockpit
These commands set the RMI port to 9996, then start the SAP IQ Cockpit. Two commands (separated by a semicolon here) are needed because cockpit does not start the SAP IQ Cockpit when the command includes any of the port-setting options:
cockpit -p rmi=9996; cockpit
Set all database ports
This command sets all three of the repository database ports (data server, messaging, and database alert) to 3638:
cockpit --port db=3638
Set the TDS port
This command sets the TDS port to 9998:
cockpit --port Tds:tdsPort=9998
Enable a service and start the SAP IQ Cockpit
The first cockpit command enables the TDS service; the second starts the SAP IQ Cockpit. (The two commands are separated by a semicolon.) The second command is needed because cockpit does not start SAP IQ Cockpit when the command includes the -enable option:
cockpit -enable Tds; cockpit
Start an SAP IQ Cockpit instance
This command starts the SAP IQ Cockpit instance called kalamazoo. -start is optional because it is the default:
cockpit -start -instance kalamazoo
Permissions
None required.

Use the managing and monitoring SQL commands to manage and monitor SAP IQ now that the Flash-based SAP IQ cockpit graphical user interface has been discontinued.
Procedure
1. Navigate to the SAP SQL Anywhere Developer Edition trial page:
https://www.sap.com/cmp/td/sap-sql-anywhere-developer-edition-free-trial.html 2. Follow the registration steps. 3. Choose the applicable Client-only install package.
The client package is downloaded to your machine. 4. Navigate to the client installation package on your machine. Open the client installation package and run the installation wizard.
The clients are installed on your machine.
Example on Windows:
Note
Are you a Windows user? See SAP SQL Anywhere Clients Best Practices for Windows Users [page 23].
In this section:
SAP SQL Anywhere Clients Best Practices for Windows Users [page 23] If you already have SAP IQ clients installed, installing SAP SQL Anywhere clients can cause problems.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 22 PUBLIC Configure SAP IQ Cockpit 3.3.1.1 SAP SQL Anywhere Clients Best Practices for Windows Users
If you already have SAP IQ clients installed, installing SAP SQL Anywhere clients can cause problems.
Once you install SAP SQL Anywhere clients to your Windows machine, any existing SAP IQ clients on your Windows machine might stop working due to Windows registry issues..
As a workaround, you can use the SAP SQL Anywhere clients to connect to your SAP IQ server. That is, you will have:
● An SAP SQL Anywhere client connected to SAP IQ Cockpit's embedded SAP SQL Anywhere database. ● An SAP SQL Anywhere client connected to the SAP IQ server.
Note
You cannot use SAP IQ clients to connect to SAP IQ Cockpit's embedded SAP SQL Anywhere database.
3.3.2 Create a Technical User for Alerting
SQL-based alerting requires an SAP IQ database technical user.
Context
The technical user is a database user with the required permissions for data collection, alert fetching, and system table access. Create a technical user if:
● You have a new SAP IQ database. ● You have an existing SAP IQ database, but no technical user exists.
Tip
Not sure if you already have a technical user? ○ Navigate to the COCKPIT-4/plugins/IQ-CMAP folder. ○ Open tustore.xml.
If credentials exist in tustore.xml, then a technical user already exists.
Procedure
1. At a command prompt, navigate to the SAP IQ Cockpit directory: COCKPIT-4/plugins/IQ-CMAP
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Configure SAP IQ Cockpit PUBLIC 23 2. Run the cockpit_monitor_role_based_privileges_setup.sql script once for the database:
dbisql -c "uid=DBA;pwd=
3. Grant execute permissions to the script TechnicalUserCreate.sh:
chmod +x TechnicalUserCreate.sh
4. Run TechnicalUserCreate.sh. Enter these values when prompted:
When Prompted for... Enter this value...
Do you wish to connect to local y database? (y/n)
Enter Host(Enter to select localhost): (Press Enter )
Enter Port:
Enter Password:
Enter Technical User Login:
Not sure of your resource name? Run the dblocate command.
The SAP IQ database technical user now exists.
3.3.3 Configure the Email Server for Alerting
Using SQL commands, specify the e-mail server for SAP IQ Cockpit to use to send alert notifications.
Prerequisites
Note
This procedure assumes you've previously used the Flash-based graphical user interface for email alerting. Email alerting is not supported on brand-new SAP IQ installations of 16.1 SP04 PL08 or later.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 24 PUBLIC Configure SAP IQ Cockpit ● You connected an SAP SQL Anywhere client to the repository database in SAP IQ Cockpit's embedded SAP SQL Anywhere server. See Download and Start an SAP SQL Anywhere Client [page 21]. ● An SAP IQ database technical user exists. See Create a Technical User for Alerting [page 23].
Procedure
1. Take a full backup of the Cockpit repository database. See Back Up the Repository Database [page 27]. 2. Check if email servers were already configured. Make sure you really want to modify your email servers:
SELECT
T.TARGET_TYPE_NAME,DRIVER_CLASS_NAME,TARGET_NAME,PARAM_NAME,PARAM_VALUE FROM UAS_TARG_TYPE T,UAS_TARG_INST TAR,UAS_TARG_INST_PRMS P WHERE T.TARGET_TYPE_NAME = TAR.TARGET_TYPE_NAME AND P.TARGET_ID = TAR.TARGET_ID AND TAR.TARGET_TYPE_NAME='JavaMail' AND P.PARAM_NAME IN ('SMTP_SERVER_NAME', 'SMTP_SERVER_PORT')
ORDER BY T.TARGET_TYPE_NAME,TAR.TARGET_NAME
3. Set connection authentication to allow modification to the database:
SET TEMPORARY OPTION CONNECTION_AUTHENTICATION='Company=SAP;Application=Cockpit;Signature=000fa5515 7edb8e14d818eb4fe3db41447146f1571g6eb2a6d2966db36d82642c745d1d1bde020b45b6'
4. Update the settings. Make sure all the updates are in a single transaction.
UPDATE UAS_TARG_INST_PRMS SET PARAM_VALUE='
UPDATE UAS_TARG_INST_PRMS SET PARAM_VALUE='
5. Verify the result with the statement in step 2. 6. Restart the Cockpit server.

5.6 Remote Servers
A remote server allows you to set up access to remote database objects, using external logins, proxy tables and remote procedures.
For some systems, including SAP IQ and SQL Anywhere, each data source describes a database; therefore, you must define a separate remote server definition for each database.
In this section:
Creating a Remote Server [page 92] Before you can map remote objects to a local proxy table, you must define the remote server where the remote object is located.
Testing a Remote Server Connection [page 92] Test the physical connection to one or more remote servers.

5.7 External Logins
External logins are alternate login names and passwords to be used when communicating with a remote server (in order to set up access to remote database objects).
By default, IQ uses the names and passwords of its clients whenever it connects to a remote server or directory access server on behalf of those clients. However, you can override this default by creating external logins.
Note
You must define a remote server before you can create an external login.
When you create a remote server definition, you have the option of creating an external login for your user ID. Using the Create External Login wizard, you can create external logins for other user IDs
In this section:
Creating an External Login [page 96] Define an alternate login name and password by specifying the remote server to create an external login for, and the local user the external login applies to.

5.9 Tables
Create, delete, and display tables (including global temporary tables and proxy tables), and manage their properties, in SAP IQ.
Tables consist of rows and columns. Each column carries a particular kind of information, such as a phone number or a name, while each row specifies a particular entry.
When a database is first created, the only tables in the database are the system tables, which hold the database schema. You can create new tables to hold your actual data.
In this section:
Creating an IQ (Catalog) System Store Table [page 106] A base table holds persistent data. (The table and its data continue to exist until you explicitly delete the data or drop the table.)
Creating an IQ Main Store Table with No Partitions [page 107] A base table holds persistent data. (The table and its data continue to exist until you explicitly delete the data or drop the table.)
Creating a Table with a Hash Partition [page 107] A table with a hash partition can only reside in the IQ main store.
Creating a Table with a Range Partition [page 108] A table with a range partition can only reside in the IQ main store.
Creating a Table with a Hash-Range Partition [page 108] A table with a hash-range partition can only reside in the IQ main store.
Creating a Global Temporary Table [page 109]
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 104 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ Add a global temporary table to the database. A global temporary table definition is kept in the database permanently. (The data disappears when you close the connection.)
Creating a Proxy Table [page 109] A proxy table is a locally named alias, displayed as a table that points to a remote object such as an entire table, a view, a materialized view, or a set of remote table columns. Before you can map remote objects to a local proxy table, you must define the remote server where the remote object is located.
Viewing Table Data [page 110] Execute a SELECT * FROM query and display contents of the table, global temporary table or proxy table.
Deleting a Table [page 110] Delete a table, global temporary table or proxy table from the database.
Generating Table DDL Commands [page 111] There’s no SQL-side equivalent for this SAP IQ Cockpit task.
Moving a Table to Another Dbspace [page 111] You can move the table from the current dbspace to another dbspace. This feature is available only for tables in the IQ main store.
Validating an IQ (Catalog) System Store Table [page 111] Check the validity of an IQ (catalog) system store table.
Setting the Primary Key [page 112] Set the primary key to prohibit two or more rows in the table from having identical values for a column or set of columns. You can set the primary key on base tables and global temporary tables only.
Removing the Primary Key [page 112] Remove the primary key from a table.
Setting a Clustered Index [page 113] Set a clustered index on an IQ (catalog) system store table. Using a clustered index increases the chance that two rows from adjacent index entries will appear on the same page in the database. This strategy can lead to performance benefits by reducing the number of times a table page needs to be read into the buffer pool.
Merging Table Data from RLV Store with IQ Main Store [page 113] Read-write data from a table enabled with row-level versioning (RLV) is housed in the RLV store, and periodically merged automatically with the table's data in the IQ main store. However, you can explicitly merge this RLV-enabled table data from the RLV store with the IQ main store data.
Calculating the Number of Rows in a Table [page 114] Calculate an accurate row count for a base or proxy table.
Moving Table Objects to Another Dbspace [page 114] You can move SAP IQ table objects—including indexes, columns, and partitions—from the current dbspace to another dbspace. This feature is available only for tables in the IQ main store.
Enabling or Disabling Row-Level Versioning in a Table [page 115] You can set an IQ main store base table to use row-level versioning (RLV) in order to track row changes for read-write transactions.
Modifying Base Table Properties [page 115] Change the properties of the selected IQ main store or IQ (catalog) system store base table.
Modifying Global Temporary Table Properties [page 116] Change the properties of the selected global temporary table.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Administer SAP IQ PUBLIC 105 Modifying Proxy Table Properties [page 116] Only the Comment property is editable.
Table Privilege Summary [page 117] A list of the system privileges and object permissions required to complete the various table tasks.
Table Columns [page 127] SAP IQ stores data in columns. Add, modify, and delete table columns.
Table Permissions [page 130] Grant or revoke table permissions to users and roles.
Table Constraints [page 134] Constraints help to ensure that the data entered in the table is correct. Constraints also provide information to SAP IQ that boosts performance.
Table Indexes [page 146] You can add multiple indexes to any column in a table to better support the queries you plan to run.
Table Triggers [page 154] A trigger is a special form of stored procedure that executes automatically when a statement that modifies data in a table is executed. Trigger management includes creating, modifying and deleting triggers on a database object.

5.9.26 Table Constraints
Constraints help to ensure that the data entered in the table is correct. Constraints also provide information to SAP IQ that boosts performance.
SAP IQ does not allow the creation of a check constraint that it cannot evaluate, such as those composed of user-defined functions, proxy tables, or non-SAP IQ tables. Constraints that cannot be evaluated are detected the first time the table on which the check constraint is defined is loaded or modified.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 134 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ Note
SAP IQ does not allow check constraints containing:
● Subqueries ● Expressions specifying a host language parameter, a SQL parameter, or a column as the target for a data value ● Set functions ● Invocations of nondeterministic functions or functions that modify data

SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Administer SAP IQ PUBLIC 145 5.9.27 Table Indexes
You can add multiple indexes to any column in a table to better support the queries you plan to run.
It is more efficient to create all the indexes needed before you insert any data into your database. You can drop any of the optional indexes later if you decide you do not need them.
Indexes can greatly improve the performance of searches on the indexed columns. However, indexes take up space within the database and slow down insert, update, and delete operations. This section helps you determine when you should create an index and how to achieve maximum performance from your index.
There are many situations in which creating an index improves the performance of a database. An index provides an ordering of a table's rows based on the values in some or all of the columns. An index allows the database server to find rows quickly. It permits greater concurrency by limiting the number of database pages accessed. An index also affords the database server a convenient means of enforcing a uniqueness constraint on the rows in a table.

SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 146 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ 5.9.27.1 Column Index Types
Each type of column index is designed to speed processing of a certain kind of data.
These index types are unique to column-based IQ data and cannot be applied to tables in the IQ (catalog) system store.
SAP IQ assumes you add an HG index to every column mentioned in a WHERE clause and in a GROUP BY clause.
When you designate a column or set of columns as either a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE, the database server automatically creates a High_Group index for it. Choose one PRIMARY KEY from all UNIQUE constraints for the table. Neither PRIMARY KEY nor UNIQUE constraints allow nulls; however, a unique index does allow them. UNIQUE constraints also provide hints on column constraints to the query optimizer.
The database server always uses the fastest index available for the current query or join predicate. If you have not created the index types the query optimizer would ideally use for a column, the server can still resolve queries involving the column, but response time may be slower than it would be with the correct index type or types.
Table 1: Index Types Index Type Purpose
Compare (CMP) Stores the binary comparison (<, >, =, <=, >=, or NE) of any two columns with identical data types, precision, and scale.
DATE An index on columns of data type DATE used to process queries involving date quantities.
Datetime (DTTM) An index on columns of data type DATETIME or TIMESTAMP used to process queries involving datetime quantities.
High_Group (HG) An enhanced B-tree index to process equality and group by operations on high-cardinality data. Recommended only for more than 1,000 distinct values or for a table with less than 25,000 rows.
High_Non_Group (HNG) A nonvalue-based bitmap index ideal for most high-cardinal ity DSS operations involving ranges or aggregates.
Note
The HG index provides better performance. We recom mend migrating HNG indexes to HG.
Low_Fast (LF) An HG index provides better performance than an LF index. Therefore, use HG indexes instead.
TIME An index on columns of data type TIME used to process queries involving time quantities.
WD Used to index keywords by treating the contents of a CHAR, VARCHAR, or LONG VARCHAR column as a delimited list.
Text Used to index terms (words) and their positions. Provides ability to search for individual terms, phrases, pairs of terms within specified distances and given order, as well as combi nations of these conditions.

5.9.29 Table Partitions
Dividing large tables into more manageable storage objects, called partitions, can improve shorten backup and restore times, provide a finer level of granularity for data validation, and support tiered storage.
Partitions share the logical attributes of the parent table. Manage partitions individually by placing them in separate dbspaces.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 158 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ Three are three types of partitions: hash, range, and hash-range. Only a range partition can be added to an existing table in the IQ main store. Hash and hash-range partitions can only be added during the initial creation of the IQ main store table. Range partitioning can be added to both new and existing tables. For tables with existing range or hash-range partitioning, additional range subpartitions can be added as needed.
You cannot partition an IQ (catalog) system store table.
In this section:
Creating a Range Partition on an Existing Table [page 160] You can add range partitioning to an existing unpartitioned table or add additional range partitions to a table that is already range partitioned.
Creating a Range Subpartition to an Existing Hash-Range Partitioned Table [page 160] On an existing table with hash-range partitioning, you can add additional range subpartitions. You cannot add Hash-range partitioning to an existing unpartitioned table.
Deleting a Range Partition or Subpartition [page 161] Remove one or more range partitions or subpartitions from a table. You cannot delete the last remaining partition on a table. Use Unpartition instead.
Unpartitioning a Table [page 161] Remove all partitioning from a table, preserving the data in the table.
Rebuilding a Hash or Hash-Range Partitioned Table [page 162] Once a table with hash or hash-range partitioning is unpartitioned, it can only be repartitioned by range. Hash and hash-range partitioning on an existing table is not supported.

SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 170 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ 5.10 Views
A view is a computed table defined by the result set of its view definition, expressed as a SQL query. You can use views to show database users exactly the information you want to present, in a format you can control.
A regular view describes a view that is recomputed each time you reference the view, and the result set is not stored on disk. This is the most commonly used type of view.
A materialized view describes a view whose result set is precomputed and materialized on disk similar to the contents of a base table. Materialized views are useful in data warehousing scenarios, where frequent queries of the actual base tables can be extremely expensive.

5.10.1 About Views
A view is a computed table that may be useful for security purposes, and for tailoring the appearance of database information to make data access straightforward. SAP IQ provides views that allow you to give names to frequently executed SELECT commands, saving you from having to repeatedly type them.
Think of views as computed tables. You can use any SELECT command in a view definition except commands containing ORDER BY. Views can use GROUP BY clauses, subqueries, and joins. Disallowing ORDER BY in the commands that make up a view is consistent with the fact that rows of a table in a relational database are not stored in any particular order. When you use the view, you can specify an ORDER BY.
For example, if you frequently need to list a summary of employees and their departments, create a view called emp_dept that looks just like any other table in the iqdemo database. You can list everything in a view just as you do from a table.
The information in a view is not stored separately in the database. Each time you refer to a view, SQL executes the associated SELECT statement to find the appropriate data.
This also means that if someone modifies the employee table or the department table, the information in the emp_dept view is automatically up to date. However, if the SELECT command is complicated, it may take a long time for SQL to find the correct information every time you use the view.
You can also use views in more complicated queries, such as queries using joins:
SELECT LastName, dept_head_id
FROM emp_dept, department
WHERE emp_dept.Department = department.dept_name

5.10.10.1 About the View Permissions List
The View permissions list displays details on the specific object permissions directly granted to users or roles for a single view.
There are four object permissions for views or materialized views, which you can grant with or with out administrative rights:
● SELECT ● INSERT ● DELETE ● UPDATE
You can grant object permissions in several ways:
● You own the object. ● You are granted the MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege. ● You are indirectly granted specific permissions through membership in a role to which permissions are directly or indirectly granted. ● You are directly granted specific permissions.
Users or roles with object ownership or the MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege are automatically granted all possible object permissions with administrative rights.
You can grant object permissions with or without administrative rights. The grantee can perform authorized tasks requiring the permission, but cannot in turn grant the permission to another user or role when granted without administrative rights. The grantee can do both when granted with administrative rights (With grant option).
The permissions list only lists those permissions granted directly to users or roles. The list indicates to whom the permissions are granted (grantee), by whom (grantor), and the permissions and their corresponding administrative rights. The permissions list does not list object permissions obtained through ownership, the MANAGE ANY SYSTEM OBJECT system privilege, or role membership.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Administer SAP IQ PUBLIC 179 All members of the role inherit permissions granted to a role, including administrative rights. The role, not the users indirectly granted the permissions through inheritance, appears on the permissions list.
The REVOKE command applies to the database object permission itself, not to any administrative right granted on the permission. Therefore, to remove the administrative right only and leave the database object permission intact, do not click Revoke. Rather, regrant the specific permission without administrative rights. Only the original grantor can remove the administrative rights only from a granted permission. If another grantor regrants the same permission without administrative rights, a new permission without administrative rights is granted, but the original permission with administrative rights remains and takes precedence over any other non-administrative grants of the same permission to the same user or role.
If multiple permissions are granted, you can revoke some or all of the permissions. However, if you revoke a permission granted administrative rights, and the grantee has granted the permission to other users, who in turn have granted it to other users, and so on, every grantee in the chain who has received the permission indirectly, with or without administrative rights, also has their permission revoked. For example, UserA is granted the SELECT permission with the With grant option. UserA grants SELECT to UserB with the With grant option. UserB grants SELECT to UserC and UserD without administrative rights and to UserE with administrative rights. When you revoke the SELECT permission from UserA, it is also revoked for UserB, UserC, UserD and UserE.
Permissions can be granted on the same view or materialized view, to the same grantee, by multiple grantors, resulting in the same grantee appearing multiple times on the list. If the same permission is granted to the same grantee, with and without administrative rights, the grant with the administrative right takes precedence.
When you revoke a permission granted multiple times, the permission is revoked from all instances, regardless of administrative rights. For example, Manager1 grants User2 INSERT with administrative rights. User1 also grants INSERT to User2, without administrative rights. Both instances of INSERT are revoked for User2, regardless of which instance of INSERT is revoked.

Trigger management includes the creation, modification and deletion of triggers on a database object. A trigger is a special form of stored procedure that executes automatically when a statement that modifies data displayed in a view is executed.
Triggers can only fire against IQ (catalog) system store tables, but a view can reference multiple tables from the IQ main store or IQ (catalog) system store. Therefore, triggers that references tables from both stores will fire, but only against IQ (catalog) system store tables.

5.11.1.1 Constraints and Defaults with Domains
Many of the attributes associated with columns, such as allowing NULL values, having a DEFAULT value, and so on, can be built into a user-defined data type.
Any column that is defined on the data type automatically inherits the NULL setting, CHECK condition, and DEFAULT values. This allows uniformity to be built into columns with a similar meaning throughout a database.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 188 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ For example, many primary key columns in the demo database are integer columns holding ID numbers. The following statement creates a data type that may be useful for such columns:
CREATE DOMAIN id INT
NOT NULL DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT
CHECK( @col > 0 )
Any column created using the data type id is not allowed to hold NULLs, defaults to an autoincremented value, and must hold a positive number. Any identifier could be used instead of
The attributes of the data type can be overridden if needed by explicitly providing attributes for the column. A column created on data type id with NULL values explicitly allowed does allow NULLs, regardless of the setting in the id data type.
5.11.1.2 Compatibility Considerations for Domains
Ensure compatibility with SQL Anywhere and Adaptive Server Enterprise when you create domains.
NULL in Columns
For compatible treatment of NULL:
● SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ assume that columns can be null unless NOT NULL is stated in the column definition. You can change this behavior by setting the database option ALLOW_NULLS_BY_DEFAULT to the Transact-SQL compatible setting OFF. ● SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ assume that BIT columns cannot be NULL. ● Adaptive Server Enterprise assumes that columns cannot be null unless NULL is stated.
Check Constraints
SAP IQ enforces check constraints on base, global temporary, and local temporary tables, and on user-defined data types. Users can log check integrity constraint violations and specify the number of violations that can occur before a LOAD statement rolls back.
SAP IQ does not allow the creation of a check constraint that it cannot evaluate, such as those composed of user-defined functions, proxy tables, or non-SAP IQ tables. Constraints that cannot be evaluated are detected the first time the table on which the check constraint is defined is used in a LOAD, INSERT, or UPDATE statement. SAP IQ does not allow check constraints containing:
● Subqueries ● Expressions specifying a host language parameter, a SQL parameter, or a column as the target for a data value
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Administer SAP IQ PUBLIC 189 ● Set functions ● Invocations of nondeterministic functions or functions that modify data
Adaptive Server Enterprise and SQL Anywhere enforce CHECK constraints. SQL Anywhere allows subqueries in check constraints.
SAP IQ supports user-defined data types that allow constraints to be encapsulated in the data type definition.
Referential Integrity Constraints
Actions for enforcing integrity are supported as follows:
● SAP IQ supports all ANSI actions: SET NULL, CASCADE, DEFAULT, RESTRICT. ● Adaptive Server Enterprise supports two of these actions: SET NULL, DEFAULT.
Note
You can achieve CASCADE in Adaptive Server Enterprise by using triggers instead of referential integrity.
● SAP IQ supports the RESTRICT action only. ● SAP IQ does not support NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY. ● SAP IQ has the restriction that a column cannot be both a candidate key and a foreign key at the same time.
Default Values in a Column
Default value support differs as follows:
● Adaptive Server Enterprise and SQL Anywhere support specifying a default value for a column. ● Only SQL Anywhere supports DEFAULT UTC TIMESTAMP. ● SAP IQ supports specifying a default value for a column, except for the special values DEFAULT UTC TIMESTAMP and DEFAULT CURRENT UTC TIMESTAMP. SAP IQ also ignores settings for the DEFAULT_TIMESTAMP_INCREMENT database option.
Identity Columns
Identity column support differs as follows:
● SAP IQ supports IDENTITY or DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT as a default value. SAP IQ supports identity columns of any numeric type with any precision and scale 0, and the column can be NULL. SAP IQ identity
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 190 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ columns must be positive and are limited by the range of the data type. SAP IQ supports a single identity column per table, and requires database option IDENTITY_INSERT set to a table name for explicit inserts and updates. To drop a table with an IDENTITY column, you cannot have IDENTITY_INSERT set to that table. The table can contain data when adding an identity column. Tables derived using SELECT INTO do not have Identity/Autoincrement columns. SAP IQ views cannot contain IDENTITY/DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT columns. ● SQL Anywhere supports the AUTOINCREMENT default value. SQL Anywhere supports identity columns of any numeric type with any allowable scale and precision. The identity column value can be positive, negative, or zero, limited by the range of the data type. SQL Anywhere supports any number of identity columns per table, and does not require identity_insert for explicit inserts, drops, and updates. The table must be empty when adding identity columns. SQL Anywhere identity columns can be altered to be nonidentity columns, and vice versa. You can add or drop AUTOINCREMENT columns from SQL Anywhere views. ● Adaptive Server Enterprise supports a single identity column per table. Adaptive Server Enterprise identity columns are restricted to only numeric data type scale 0, maximum precision 38. They must be positive, are limited by the range of the data type, and cannot be null. Adaptive Server Enterprise requires identity_insert for explicit inserts and drops, but not for updates to the identity column. The table can contain data when you add an identity column. Adaptive Server Enterprise users cannot explicitly set the next value chosen for an identity column. Adaptive Server Enterprise views cannot contain IDENTITY/ AUTOINCREMENT columns. When using SELECT INTO under certain conditions, Adaptive Server Enterprise allows Identity/Autoincrement columns in the result table if they were in the table being selected from.
Computed Columns
Computed column support differs as follows:
● SQL Anywhere supports computed columns that can be indexed. ● Adaptive Server Enterprise and SAP IQ do not.
Temporary Tables
You can create a temporary table by placing a pound sign (#) without an owner specification in front of the table name in a CREATE TABLE statement. These temporary tables are SAP IQ-declared temporary tables and are available only in the current connection.
Locating Tables
Physical placement of a table is carried out differently in Adaptive Server Enterprise and SAP IQ. SAP IQ supports the ON

Create, delete, generate DDL, and manage the properties of text indexes and text configuration objects. A text index stores positional information for terms in an indexed column. Text indexes are created using settings stored in a text configuration object.
Text indexes significantly speed up full-text searching. You must configure a text index for a table before it is subjected to a full-text search.
Each text index requires a text configuration object. SAP provides two default text configuration objects, one for CHAR collation, one for NCHAR collation. When you set up a text index, you can use one of the default text configuration objects or create a custom text configuration object.
In the SAP IQ documentation, see SAP IQ Administration: Unstructured Data Analytics for detailed information on text indexes.

5.16.1.1 Role Types
In role-based security, there are several types of roles.
● User-defined role – can be granted privileges on other objects. Membership to a user-defined role can be granted to users or other user-defined roles. User-defined roles include: ○ Standalone role – an independent database object without login privileges, which can own objects. You cannot convert a standalone role to a user-extended role, and vice versa ○ User-extended role – a user ID that has been extended to act as a role. If an original user has login privileges, a user-extended role inherits the login privileges. ● System roles – are automatically created in each newly created or upgraded database and are granted specific system privileges. System roles cannot be dropped and cannot own objects. They do not follow any specific naming conventions. ● Compatibility Roles – are automatically created in each newly created or upgraded database and are granted specific system roles and privileges. Compatibility roles can be migrated and dropped under specific conditions and use a naming convention that begin with SYS_AUTH_ and end with _ROLE. Also called predefined roles, they are created for backward compatibility with earlier versions of SAP IQ.

SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 232 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ 5.16.1.3 Security Implications of the Managing Grantees and Managing Roles Options
A role can be granted to another role as a grantee (member) or as an underlying role. Each grant type has different security inheritance implications.
Grantees are members granted directly to a role. A grantee can be either a user or another role. Granting membership in a role allows grantees to inherit all system privileges and underlying roles of the role.
When granting a role to another role, the role can be granted as a grantee (member)) or as an underlying role.
When a role is granted as a member, each member of the role being granted (the child role) becomes a grantee of the receiving role (the parent role). Each new grantee inherits all system privileges and roles already granted to the parent role, while still retaining all system privileges and roles from the child role. Existing members of the parent role do not inherit any system privileges and roles from the child role.
When a role is granted as an underlying role, all system privileges and roles of the underlying role (child role) are inherited by all members of the receiving role (parent role). However, members of the child role do not become members of the parent role.
Consider the following:
● There are three users: User1, User2, User3. ● There are five roles: Role1, Role2, Role3, Role4, Role5. ● There are three system privileges: Priv1, Priv2, Priv3.
Grant a role as a member:
● Role1 is granted Priv1 and Role4. ● User1 and User2 are members of Role1. ● Role2 is granted Priv2 and Role5. ● User3 is a member of Role2. ● Role1 is made a member of Role2 (Manage Grantee). ● As members of Role1, User1 and User2 (indirectly) become members of Role2 and inherit Priv2. Since Role4 is also a member of Role1, they also (indirectly) inherit all system privileges and roles granted to Role4. ● As a member of Role2, User3 does not inherit Priv1 from Role1, or any system privileges or roles of Role4.
Grant a role as an underlying role:
● Role1 is granted Priv1 and Role4. ● User1 and User2 are members of Role1.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Administer SAP IQ PUBLIC 233 ● Role2 is granted Priv2 and Role5. ● User3 is a member of Role2. ● Role1 is made an underlying role of Role2 (Manage Roles). ● As a member of Role2, User3 inherits the following from Role1: Priv1 and (indirectly) all system privileges and roles of Role4. ● As members of Role1, User1 and User2 do not become members of Role2 and do not inherit Priv2 or any system privileges and roles granted to Role4.
As you can see, there is a significant difference in how system privileges and roles of a child role are inherited by the parent role and by whom. Use of the wrong grant method can lead to unexpected behavior and potential security concerns.

SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Administer SAP IQ PUBLIC 241 5.16.1.4.14 Manage Role Administrators of a User-Extended Role
Role administrators are responsible for granting and revoking user-extended roles to users and other roles. You can add and remove role administrators as needed.
There are two types of role administrators:
● Role administrator – users or roles designated to administer a role. ● Global role administrator – any user granted the MANAGE ROLES system privilege.
When you create a new role, you can appoint one or more role administrators to manage the role (grant and revoke membership in the role). If no role administrator is specified during the creation process, the MANAGE ROLES system privilege is automatically granted to the role with the Administrative Only privilege, which creates the global role administrator for a role. However, if at least one administrator is specified during the creation process, the MANAGE ROLES system privilege is not granted to the role and global role administrators will be unable to manage the role. For this reason, it is recommended that role administrators not be specified when creating a new role. They should be added after the fact. This ensures that every role can be successfully managed by both role and global role administrators.
A role administrator can add or remove other role administrators from a role, including global role administrators. Both role administrators and global role administrators can grant, revoke, and drop roles. A role administrator does not require the MANAGE ROLES system privilege to administer a role.
By default, at least one role administrator or global role administrator with a login password must exist at all times for each role. This minimum requirement is validated before you can remove the global role administrator or role administrator from a role, or remove a role administrator's administrative rights on a role. The minimum requirement is a configurable database option (MIN_ROLE_ADMINS).

5.16.1.4.15 Manage Global Role Administrators of a User- Extended Role
A global role administrator is any user granted the MANAGE ROLES system privilege. However, not all roles can be managed by global role administrators.
When creating a new role, if you specify at least one role administrator, global role administrators will be unable to manage the role. This is because the MANAGE ROLES system privilege is not automatically granted to the role during creation.
For this reason, it is recommended that role administrators not be specified when creating a new role. They should be added after the fact. This ensures that every role can be successfully managed by both role and global role administrators.
By default, at least one role administrator or global role administrator with a login password must exist at all times for each role. This minimum requirement is validated before you can remove the global role administrator or role administrator from a role, or remove a role administrator's administrative rights on a role. The minimum requirement is a configurable database option (MIN_ROLE_ADMINS).

The Delete or Manage Grantee menu options are unavailable for a user-extended role.
These menu options are unavailable if the MANAGE ROLES system privilege has not been granted to the role as a grantee, and the user has not been designated as a role administrator of the role.
To allow these users to manage the role, either:
● Grant the MANAGE ROLES system privilege to the role as a grantee with Administrative only rights, or ● Make the user a role administrator of the role.
The first option is the recommended solution as it allows any user with the MANAGE ROLES system privilege to act as a global role administrator of the role, not just the DBA user.
Note
SAP strongly recommends that role administrators not be specified when creating a new role. They should be added after the fact. This ensures that all roles can be managed by both role and global role administrators.

5.16.1.5.12 Manage Standalone Role Administrators
Role administrators are responsible for granting and revoking standalone roles to users and other roles. You can add and remove role administrators as needed.
There are two types of role administrators:
● Role administrator – users or roles designated to administer a role. ● Global role administrator – any user granted the MANAGE ROLES system privilege.
When you create a new role, you can appoint one or more role administrators to manage the role (grant and revoke membership in the role). If no role administrator is specified during the creation process, the MANAGE ROLES system privilege is automatically granted to the role with the Administrative Only privilege, which creates the global role administrator for a role. However, if at least one administrator is specified during the creation process, the MANAGE ROLES system privilege is not granted to the role and global role administrators will be unable to manage the role. For this reason, it is recommended that role administrators not be specified when creating a new role. They should be added after the fact. This ensures that every role can be successfully managed by both role and global role administrators.
A role administrator can add or remove other role administrators from a role, including global role administrators. Both role administrators and global role administrators can grant, revoke, and drop roles. A role administrator does not require the MANAGE ROLES system privilege to administer a role.
By default, at least one role administrator or global role administrator with a login password must exist at all times for each role. This minimum requirement is validated before you can remove the global role administrator or role administrator from a role, or remove a role administrator's administrative rights on a role. The minimum requirement is a configurable database option (MIN_ROLE_ADMINS).

5.16.1.5.13 Manage Global Role Administrators of a Standalone Role
A global role administrator is any user granted the MANAGE ROLES system privilege. However, not all roles can be managed by global role administrators.
When creating a new role, if you specify at least one role administrator, global role administrators will be unable to manage the role. This is because the MANAGE ROLES system privilege is not automatically granted to the role during creation.
For this reason, it is recommended that role administrators not be specified when creating a new role. They should be added after the fact. This ensures that every role can be successfully managed by both role and global role administrators.
By default, at least one role administrator or global role administrator with a login password must exist at all times for each role. This minimum requirement is validated before you can remove the global role administrator or role administrator from a role, or remove a role administrator's administrative rights on a role. The minimum requirement is a configurable database option (MIN_ROLE_ADMINS).

5.16.1.5.13.1 DBA User or Global Role Administrator Cannot Manage a Standalone Role
The Delete or Manage Grantee menu options are unavailable for a standalone role.
These menu options are unavailable if the MANAGE ROLES system privilege has not been granted to the role as a grantee, and the user has not been designated as a role administrator of the role.
To allow these users to manage the role, either:
● Grant the MANAGE ROLES system privilege to the role as a grantee with Administrative only rights, or ● Make the user a role administrator of the role.
The first option is the recommended solution as it allows any user with the MANAGE ROLES system privilege to act as a global role administrator of the role, not just the DBA user.
Note
SAP strongly recommends that role administrators not be specified when creating a new role. They should be added after the fact. This ensures that all roles can be managed by both role and global role administrators.

The Tables permissions list displays permission details the tables and column directly granted to a user, user- extended role, or standalone role.
There are several table object permissions, which can be granted with or with out administrative rights. Some permissions can be granted at the table level only, while others can be granted at either the table or column level.
● SELECT – table or column level ● INSERT – table level only ● DELETE – table level only ● UPDATE – table or column level ● ALTER – table level only ● REFERENCE – table or column level ● LOAD – table level only ● TRUNCATE – table level only
You can grant object permissions in several ways:
● You own the object. ● You are granted the MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege. ● You are indirectly granted specific permissions through membership in a role to which permissions are directly or indirectly granted. ● You are directly granted specific permissions.
Users or roles with object ownership or the MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege are automatically granted all possible object permissions with administrative rights.
You can grant object permissions with or without administrative rights. The grantee can perform authorized tasks requiring the permission, but cannot in turn grant the permission to another user or role when granted without administrative rights. The grantee can do both when granted with administrative rights (With grant option).
The permissions list only lists those tables or columns object permissions granted directly to the selected user or role. The list indicates the table and column the permission is granted on, by who (grantor), and the permissions and their corresponding administrative rights. The permissions list does not list object permissions obtained through ownership, the MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege, or role membership.
For each table, permissions granted to all columns on the table are listed first (all), followed by each column, sorted alphabetically by column name.
All members of the role inherit permissions granted to a role, including administrative rights. The role, not the users indirectly granted the permissions through inheritance, appears on the permissions list.
The REVOKE command applies to the database object permission itself, not to any administrative right granted on the permission. Therefore, to remove the administrative right only and leave the database object permission intact, do not click Revoke. Rather, regrant the specific permission without administrative rights. Only the original grantor can remove the administrative rights only from a granted permission. If another grantor regrants the same permission without administrative rights, a new permission without administrative rights is granted, but the original permission with administrative rights remains and takes precedence over any other non-administrative grants of the same permission to the same user or role.
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 270 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ If multiple permissions are granted, you can revoke some or all of the permissions. However, if you revoke a permission granted administrative rights, and the grantee has granted the permission to other users, who in turn have granted it to other users, and so on, every grantee in the chain who has received the permission indirectly, with or without administrative rights, also has their permission revoked. For example, UserA is granted the SELECT permission with the With grant option. UserA grants SELECT to UserB with the With grant option. UserB grants SELECT to UserC and UserD without administrative rights and to UserE with administrative rights. When you revoke the SELECT permission from UserA, it is also revoked for UserB, UserC, UserD and UserE.
Permissions can be granted on the same table or column, by multiple grantors, resulting in the same table or column appearing multiple times on the list. If the same permission is granted to the same table or column, with and without administrative rights, the grant with the administrative right takes precedence.
For example, the user is granted the SELECT permission by both DBA and Alex, with different administrative rights. When the same permission is granted with different administrative rights, the higher administrative right takes precedence.
When you revoke a permission granted multiple times, the permission is revoked from all instances, regardless of administrative rights. For example, Manager1 grants User2 INSERT with administrative rights. User1 also grants INSERT to User2, without administrative rights. Both instances of INSERT are revoked for User2, regardless of which instance of INSERT is revoked.
5.16.1.6.1.2 Following the User or Role Table Permissions Grant Trail
Before revoking a grantee's permission, you must identify grantees directly or indirectly granted the permission from the original grantee.
The grant chain traces how a grantee has in turn granted a permission to other grantees.
When you view the object permissions granted to a specific user, user-extended role, or standalone role, you see only the permissions granted. You do not see who the user or role has in turn granted the permissions to.
To determine who the selected user or role has in turn granted an object permission to, note the table, column name (if applicable), and the permission to be traced, then display the permissions list for the table object being traced. See Following the Table Permissions Grant Trail.

5.16.1.6.2.1 About the User or Role View Permissions List
The Views permissions list displays permission details the tables and column directly granted to a user, user- extended role, or standalone role.
There are four object permissions for views or materialized views, which you can grant with or with out administrative rights:
● SELECT ● INSERT ● DELETE ● UPDATE
You can grant object permissions in several ways:
● You own the object. ● You are granted the MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege. ● You are indirectly granted specific permissions through membership in a role to which permissions are directly or indirectly granted. ● You are directly granted specific permissions.
Users or roles with object ownership or the MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege are automatically granted all possible object permissions with administrative rights.
You can grant object permissions with or without administrative rights. The grantee can perform authorized tasks requiring the permission, but cannot in turn grant the permission to another user or role when granted without administrative rights. The grantee can do both when granted with administrative rights (With grant option).
The permissions list only lists those view and materialized view object permissions granted directly to the selected user or role. The list indicates the view or materialized view the permission is granted on, by who (grantor), and the permissions and their corresponding administrative rights. The permissions list does not list
SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring 274 PUBLIC Administer SAP IQ object permissions obtained through ownership, the MANAGE ANY SYSTEM OBJECT system privilege, or role membership.
The permissions list is sorted alphabetically by Grantor.
All members of the role inherit permissions granted to a role, including administrative rights. The role, not the users indirectly granted the permissions through inheritance, appears on the permissions list.
The REVOKE command applies to the database object permission itself, not to any administrative right granted on the permission. Therefore, to remove the administrative right only and leave the database object permission intact, do not click Revoke. Rather, regrant the specific permission without administrative rights. Only the original grantor can remove the administrative rights only from a granted permission. If another grantor regrants the same permission without administrative rights, a new permission without administrative rights is granted, but the original permission with administrative rights remains and takes precedence over any other non-administrative grants of the same permission to the same user or role.
If multiple permissions are granted, you can revoke some or all of the permissions. However, if you revoke a permission granted administrative rights, and the grantee has granted the permission to other users, who in turn have granted it to other users, and so on, every grantee in the chain who has received the permission indirectly, with or without administrative rights, also has their permission revoked. For example, UserA is granted the SELECT permission with the With grant option. UserA grants SELECT to UserB with the With grant option. UserB grants SELECT to UserC and UserD without administrative rights and to UserE with administrative rights. When you revoke the SELECT permission from UserA, it is also revoked for UserB, UserC, UserD and UserE.
Permissions can be granted on the same view or materialized view, by multiple grantors, resulting in the same view or materialized view appearing multiple times on the list. If the same permission is granted to the same view or materialized view, with and without administrative rights, the grant with the administrative right takes precedence.
When you revoke a permission granted multiple times, the permission is revoked from all instances, regardless of administrative rights. For example, Manager1 grants User2 INSERT with administrative rights. User1 also grants INSERT to User2, without administrative rights. Both instances of INSERT are revoked for User2, regardless of which instance of INSERT is revoked.

There is a behavior change in SAP IQ 16.0 with respect to inheritance, for these compatibility roles only:
● SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE ● SYS_AUTH_BACKUP_ROLE ● SYS_AUTH_RESOURCE_ROLE ● SYS_AUTH_VALIDATE_ROLE only
Prior to 16.0, the default inheritance behavior for these roles was to not allow grantees to automatically inherit the underlying system privileges. As of 16.0, the default behavior is to allow automatic inheritance.

Login policies govern only the rules for user login and are separate from authorities and permissions.
A login policy is a named object in a database that consists of a set of rules that are applied when you create a database connection for a user. All new databases include a root login policy. You can modify the root login policy values, but you cannot delete the policy. Login policies are not inherited through group memberships.

5.16.4.1 LDAP Server Overview
SAP IQ uses a configuration object called LDAP server to provide connections between the SAP IQ server and external LDAP servers.
Despite its name, the SAP IQ LDAP server is an object that resides on the SAP IQ server and is NOT an actual server. The LDAP server configuration object's sole function is to provide a connection to a physical LDAP server to allow LDAP user authentication. Any settings of the LDAP server database configuration object apply solely to the SAP IQ side of the LDAP user authentication equation. No LDAP server configuration object settings are written to the physical LDAP server.
Note
Any references to LDAP server in the SAP IQ Cockpit user interface refer to the SAP IQ LDAP server configuration object, not the external physical LDAP server.

A Perl stored procedure or function behaves like a SQL stored procedure or function except that the code for the procedure or function is written in Perl and the execution of the procedure or function takes place outside the database server (that is, within a Perl executable instance).
You must create a separate instance of the Perl executable for each connection that uses Perl stored procedures and functions. This behavior is different from Java stored procedures and functions. For Java, there is one instance of the Java VM for each database rather than one instance per connection. The other major difference between Perl and Java is that Perl stored procedures do not return result sets, whereas Java stored procedures can return result sets.

SAP IQ Cockpit Non-GUI Administration and Monitoring Administer SAP IQ PUBLIC 389 5.23 Web Services
The IQ (catalog) system store contains a built-in HTTP server that allows you to provide Web services, as well as to access Web services in other databases and over the Internet. You can manage Web services only for IQ (catalog) system store tables.
Web services define valid URLs and their functionality. Web services commonly facilitate data transfer and interoperability. You create and store Web services in databases; a single database can define multiple Web services. You can define Web services in different databases so that they appear to be part of a single Web site.
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is the standard used for access, but the built-in HTTP server also lets you handle standard HTTP and HTTPS requests from client applications.
SOAP provides a method for internet communication, between applications such as those written in Java, or a Microsoft .NET language like Visual C#. SOAP messages define the services that a server provides. Actual data transfer generally takes place using HTTP. Any application, such as a client or server, that participates in SOAP communication is called a SOAP node or SOAP endpoint. Such applications can transmit, receive, or process SOAP messages.
SAP IQ Web services can listen for and handle standard SOAP requests. Web services provide client applications an alternative to such traditional interfaces as JDBC and ODBC. Web services can be accessed from client applications written in a variety of languages and running on a variety of platforms. Even common scripting languages such as Perl and Python provide access to Web services. You create Web services in a database using the CREATE SERVICE statement.
SAP IQ can also function as a SOAP or HTTP client, permitting applications running within the database to access standard Web services available over the Internet, or provided by other SAP IQ databases. This client functionality is accessed through stored functions and procedures.
In addition, the term Web services also refers to applications that use the built-in Web server to handle HTTP requests from clients. These applications generally function like traditional database-backed Web applications, but can be more compact and are easier to write as the data and the entire application can reside within a database. In this type of application, the Web service typically returns documents in HTML format. The GET, HEAD, and POST methods are supported.
The collection of Web services within your database together define the available URLs. Each service provides a set of Web pages. Typically, the content of these pages is generated by procedures that you write and store in your database, although they can be a single statement or, optionally, allow users to execute statements of their own. These Web services become available when you start the database server with options that enable it to listen for HTTP requests.
Since the HTTP server that handles Web service requests is embedded in the database, performance is good. Applications that use Web services are easily deployed, since no additional components are needed, beyond the database and database server.

Monitor and manage alerts in an SAP IQ server or multiplex environment.
Alerts in SAP IQ Cockpit are categorized into three key performance areas (KPA): Availability, Performance, and Capacity.
Each KPA is composed of several key performance indicators (KPI). Data is collected at defined intervals and alerts triggered when the KPI exceeds the predefined thresholds or state.
By default, all alerts are enabled. You can customize the threshold of each alert and disable alerts not required. You cannot add additional alerts to a KPA.
Data for KPIs is collected using these default collection jobs:
● IQ Availability Statistics ● IQ Performance Statistics ● IQ Capacity Statistics
