6.1.3 Logging In
User Interfaces
6.1 Graphical User Interface
Once MDMSView is started and the look and feel is set, you need to log into an OpenVMS system,
even if you are running on an OpenVMS system already. You can log into any OpenVMS
node in the MDMS domain, as long as it supports TCP/IP communication. Logging in requires
three fields, as follows:
• Node name: TCP/IP name, address or node name alias indicating the OpenVMS node that
you wish to log into. This node must be running MDMS.
• User name: A valid OpenVMS user name on the selected node.
• Password: The password associated with the user account on the selected node.
If there is a login failure for any reason, the node name and user name are retained for subsequent
retries, but the password must always be re-entered.
After a successful login, the login screen disappears and the MDMSView splash screen is displayed.

6.1.4 Selecting A View
The next step is to select a view depending on what you want to do. Here are some tasks that you
might wish to perform, and the associated view(s) that support them:
• Configure the MDMS domain - Domain view, object view or task view
• Create new objects - Domain view, object view or task view
• Modify object attributes - Domain view, object view or task view
• See relationships between objects - Domain view
• Delete objects - Domain view or object view
• Observe current MDMS operations - Request view
• Look at MDMS audit log entries and events - Event view
