The name of the WAS executable file is WAS32.EXE and the database filename is WASIB.GDB. After starting WAS the
following login form appears.
Server name
The server name. Use localhost as a server name to make a local connection when running WAS on a Windows Vista
operating system.
Database
The default installation path to the WAS database is c:\was\wasib.gdb. Use the Browse button to browse to the
wasib.gdb file on local hard drives if necessary.
A common mistake is made when using the Browse button over a Windows network, which will return an incorrect
database path.
User name
Enter the user name assigned by the system administrator. The default user name is "SYSDBA" in uppercase.
Password
Enter the password. The default password is “masterkey” in lowercase.
If the server accepts the username and password, the main form appears with a popup calendar to verify the current
date. It is important to specify the correct date as the financial modules and the water release module in WAS depends
on it.
If the login was unsuccessful, WAS will start up with most of the menu options and speed buttons disabled. After
selecting the date on the popup calendar, the user can retry the login procedure by clicking the Open speed on the WAS
main form.
Role
Select the Role which was assigned to the specific User name. The Role setting controles the access to the different
modules in the WAS database. The database administrator assigns a Role to a specific User name.
