DISABLE
The DISABLE command is used to turn off one or more of the NetBase functions. The function
remains disabled until it is re-enabled using the ENABLE command. This command should be issued
before NetBase is started. If issued while NetBase is running, it will only take effect on some of
NetBase processes. This command requires SYSTEM MANAGER(SM) capability.
Warning! While the DISABLE command may be used to completely disable the shadowing
module of NetBase, it is not recommended. The preferred method of turning off
shadowing is to remove the entries in the directory which define the files to be
shadowed, or CHGDIR to an empty directory or a directory which includes no shadowing
definitions.
If the DISABLE command is used to globally disable shadowing, an ENABLE SHADOWING command
will have to be followed by a restart of the NetBase background job and all user processes to
completely ensure that shadowing has been turned back on. Failure to do this may result in sync
loss.
