MDB Mode

ISODRAFT User Guide

Using ISODRAFT : MDB Mode

The user can change the current multiple database, and also the current User and Project during an ISODRAFT session without having to leave ISODRAFT and enter MONITOR. The MDB command puts the user into MDB Mode, where the user can use a limited number of MONITOR commands.

The user can either update the current MDB to save changes before entering MDB Mode, or ignore any changes made since the last SAVEWORK command (see Save).


MDB UPDATE	Save design changes and enter MDB Mode.
MDB NOUPDATE	Enter MDB Mode without saving changes.

When the user is in MDB mode, they can give the following commands, which are the same as the corresponding MONITOR commands.


EXCHANGE DEFERCURRENT	Alters the databases in the current list of the current MDB
PROTECT	Temporarily alters the users access rights to specified databases
USER PROJECT	Changes the current user and project
VAR	Allows the user to set variables
QUERY	Allows the user to query: Users, including the number of active users, Teams including the set (current) Team, Databases, including copied Databases, MDBs, Macros and Variables

To leave MDB mode and return to normal ISODRAFT mode, give the command EXIT.
