System administrators may find the following transactions useful. Although many of the transactions are not discussed in this guidebook, we are listing them for your convenience. Many of these transactions are for more advanced functions than targeted in the scope of this guidebook.

/n<trans code> /o<trans code> /nspad /ospad Exit the current transaction and start the new transaction Open a new session (window) and start the new transaction

The following are definitions of two of the column headers. < Dangerous These transactions are potentially damaging or fatal to the system if executed incorrectly. As a general rule, most of the Basis transactions are potentially damaging. Access to these transactions should be restricted in all systems. Access to some of these transactions should be even further restricted in the production system. <

Performance Impact These transactions could have a potentially adverse impact to system performance if executed. Traces and table display are the transactions of concern here. The problem with a table display occurs when the query does a full table scan for data. When done on a large table, this query has serious impact on performance because the system searches every record in the table to find those that meet the search criteria.
