Define the NETFIN ID so the Netfinity Database Administration can create the
Netfinity Database tables with a table qualifier of NETFIN.
Attention: NETFIN is a restricted user ID. The password is not retained by
Netfinity Database Administration after use. Do not use this ID for exports.
Notes:
a. In OS/2 and Windows 95, NETFIN must either be the owner of the database
or must be given administrator authority.
b. In Windows NT, when exporting to DB2, NETFIN must either be the owner of
the database or be defined as a system administrator through the NT User
Manager for Domains or the NT User Manager.
