Implementation Notes
This section provides notes on system startup procedures and global installation.
System Startup Procedures
Once NetBase is installed and running, you should take steps to insure that it is always running
when you expect it to be. We recommend modifying your
SYSSTART file to automatically enable
NetBase and launch your NetBase services when your system is brought up.
Sample startup procedure:
1. Start the network
2. Enable NetBase for CM programs
3. Start the NetBase background job
Global Installation
Now that NetBase is globally installed on the system, all programs will load through the NetBase
procedures. However, some programs/software need to be ignored by the NetBase Shell. This is
accomplished in one of two ways. If it is a
CM program, then the file ALLOCATE.DATA.NETBASE can
be used to place individual filenames of programs to
Allocated prior to enabling NetBase for CM
programs. The other way makes use of the NetBase directory and the PROGRAM entry. Utility
software such as
ADAGER, DBGENRL, FASTBACK are examples of software that should be NONBed -
ignored by the NetBase Shell.
When the
NBVERS,ENABLE command is issued, any CM programs specified in ALLOCATE.DATA will
be loaded through
SL.PUB.SYS before NetBase is enabled for CM programs.
For
NM programs, use the PROGRAM command of NBDIR with the ;NONB option to disable a specific
program or set of programs. Following is an example of a
PROGRAM entry:
:RUN NBDIR.PUB.NETBASE
NetBase Directory Program [x.x] Update n (C) QUEST Software 1996
D> PROGRAM @.@.ORBIT;NONB
D> EXIT
