NetBase Control Program
The NetBase control program, NBCTRL.PUB.NETBASE, is used to stop and start NetBase services and
to also monitor NetBase activity on a system. NBCTRL is used to stop and start the NetBase
background job. It is also used to stop and start individual NetBase services such as remote file
access, the exporting of transactions for shadowing and remote spooling.
Only one person on the system can run NBCTRL at any given time. Many of the commands within
NBCTRL also require certain capabilities. NBCTRL is also used to configure NetBase. Within the
CONFIG option of NBCTRL, all nodes in the NetBase configuration will be defined along with the
NetBase services that will be used.
NBCTRL can also be used to get a status of NetBase. It provides information on the number of
shadow transactions that have been sent to the shadow system, the number of users using NFA.
For more information about NBCTRL, see the “NBCTRL” chapter.
