Discussion:

[Databases, Products, Error Processing] specify the DBMS file names for the application and the installed products, and the tolerance on reporting errors.

[Shared Catalog Management] specifies which other catalogs may be the searched from this catalog and how to management Call Numbers across the catalogs.

[Start the Night Jobs in the Background] will start the evening processing in a separate, non-interactive process. These tasks include updating the catalog with all batches label OKPROCESS, updating authority files, and calculating statistics.

[Load a File from CyberTools] will install system modifications.

[Load a New CyberTools License Key] will install a new license key for the application. This controls the number and types of users.

[Web App Authorization] assigns an identifier to a MUMPS program that can be started from the CyberTools Web Service.

[System Table] controls the User Interface Management System and some DBMS parameters.

[Shell] is a programmer's tool.

[Routine Editor] allows a programmer to modify DBMS scripts.

[Scheduler] assigns the background tasks to a day and time. If you shutdown the server every night, then the overnight processes (e.g., statistical tabulations, batch posting of MARC bibs or authority changes, etc.) will not run. Therefore, the scheduler would need to be adjusted for the daily shutdown.
