You open a session with the database instance, using the utility task of the database kernel. This task is reserved solely for database administration.
Only one utility task exists for each database instance. Administrative operations cannot therefore be performed in parallel.
If you do not specify a user, the system default (the first DBM operator) is used to log on.
You have the server authorization AccessUtility or Backup.
You are working in script mode or session mode.
util_connect
The system displays an OK message.
