NetBase for MPE Reference Guide

_____ 1.2 If necessary, add any required passwords to the NETACCT.PUB.SYS file. This job may
stream additional jobs depending on your environment, so the job limit must allow for
at least two NetBase jobs. To stream the job:
:STREAM NETACCT
<<reply to the tape request>>
This job will request the tape and print a message to the console when complete. If the
job encounters any errors, a message telling what action is necessary will be displayed
to the console.
Note. If you are using private volumes, we require that you install Netbase
on the system volume set, and not a user volume set. If however, you are
concerned about the amount of free disc space on the system volume set,
then you can move the LOG and QUEUE groups onto a user volume set.
Step 2. Configure Network Nodes for NetBase
Note. If you are updating to a new version of NetBase, skip ahead to Step 3. Updating
will not overwrite your current configuration files.
In order for NetBase to communicate to the other systems on the network, all systems must be
defined to each other. Additionally, the operating parameters and limits of each system must be
defined. This is accomplished using the CONFIG subsystem in NBCTRL. All configuration must be
performed from the NetBase account. Some of the operating parameters should be configured
before running NetBase for the first time. Others may or may not need to be configured, depending
on the system. To get started, you will need to do the following:
_____ A. Assign a node number for each system being configured. Node numbers can be assigned
arbitrarily, however, once a number is assigned to a particular node, that number must
be used consistently for that node throughout the configuration for all nodes.
_____ B. Assign a System Name  it can be any name up to 8 characters long. This name will be
used in NetBase displays, reports, and commands. It is the internal NetBase name.
