Using OMNIDEX and NetBase
The NetBase shell has an enhancement available for capturing and transporting OMNIDEX library
calls. Using this enhancement to the shell usually results in lower network traffic and its associated
overhead, for remote access of databases that utilize OMNIDEX keys. This is required if any
programs will be accessing remote IMAGE databases that contain OMNIDEX indexes. With the
OMNIDEX enhancement, OMNIDEX DBI calls are passed directly to the NetBase server on the
remote system, where the calls are finally resolved through the OMNIDEX product.
For additional information on how OMNIDEX and NetBase work together, turn to Chapter 10
“NetBase and Third Party Products”.
