NetBase for MPE Reference Guide

Using NBCTRL
2-27
The shadowing processes may be in one of seven states. Following is a list of the valid states with
an explanation of their meaning:
State Description
ACTIVE
This indicates that the shadow process is configured and is running and that its
co-process is also up and running on the other system.
DOWN
This indicates that the shadow process is configured but that the process has
not been started or has been stopped.
INACTIVE
This indicates that IMPORT is configured, and that the process is up, but its
corresponding EXPORT process is not up.
QUEUE
This indicates that this NetBase shadow EXPORT process is unable to
communicate with its IMPORT counterpart and that the shadow transactions are
being queued on this node.
STOP
This indicates that the shadow process is configured, and the process is
running, but it has been stopped with a STOP command.
WAIT
This indicates that EXPORT or IMPORT is configured for Transfer Mode Only,
and that the process is up waiting for the command to connect to its coprocess-
process. The transport will connect when a START IMPORT or START EXPORT
command is issued in NBCTRL.
XFER
This indicates that the shadow transport is in bulk transfer mode. This method
of transport is used whenever there is a backlog of queued shadow transactions
to be exported to a remote node or when the transport has been configured as
Transfer Mode Only.
(blank)
Indicates that this process is not configured to run for this node.
