HP Patches
Having NetBase installed into your system SL and XL affects HP patch procedures. If you are
applying a Power Patch or an Image patch, the patch will expect the Image intrinsics to be where
HP put them, as opposed to where NetBase renamed them, when installing the shell. To handle
this:
Action Enter Explanation
Flush the
pipeline
(optional)
:RUN
NBFLUSH.PUB.NETBASE,STOPWAIT;PARM=
shadownode
(on the master node)
This step applies to shadowing
environments only, and it is
optional for those. If
performed, it will force all
updates in the shadowing
pipeline to post to the shadow
files, giving you a sync point
at which time both the master
and shadow data matches.
Stop NetBase
:RUN NBCTRL.PUB.NETBASE;INFO="STOP
NETBASE"
This step gracefully stops all
NetBase activities, including
NFA, shadowing, AutoRPM
and remote spooling.
Disable CM
NetBase and
UDC
:RUN NBVERS.PUB.NETBASE,DISABLE
:SETCATALOG
NMCMDUDC.PUB.NETBASE;SYSTEM;
;DELETE
This toggles off the redirection
of CM processes to RTMSL
and unloads our UDC.
Remove the
shell
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,PUB
:RUN
NBINST.PUB.NETBASE;INFO="REMOVE"
(reboot the system)
This places the IMAGE
intrinsics back where they are
expected by HP patches.
Apply the HP
patch
per HP's instructions (except do not reset
NetBase system UDC)
Reinstall
NetBase shell
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,PUB
:RUN
NBINST.PUB.NETBASE;INFO="INSTALL"
(reboot the system)
:SETCATALOG
NMCMDUDC.PUB.NETBASE;SYSTEM
;APPEND
This puts the NetBase shell in
place to intercept IMAGE
intrinsics, and re-instates the
NetBase UDCs.
