Option Description
UPDPASS=password
This option applies to IMAGE databases. It defines a specific
password for the remote server to use when opening the database for
update access. The server will use this defined password instead of
the password specified by the user process. The password is case
sensitive.
NFA Examples
This section provides NFA syntax and examples.
Syntax
FILE LOCAL FILE Reference=[remote file reference], node
Example 1
In the first example, we take the simple case of using NetBase to allow local processes on SYSA to
access the BANNER database on SYSB. To define the remote database, run NBDIR.PUB.NETBASE on
SYSA and enter a FILE record for the database. The FILE record tells NetBase that
BANNER.DATA.NETBASE is a remote file located on SYSB.
:RUN NBDIR.PUB.NETBASE
D> FILE BANNER.DATA.NETBASE,SYSB
Example 2
If applications on the local machine that access this database make extensive use of DBINFO (QUERY
and several other 4th GLs), the FILE record should be entered as shown. In addition, a copy of the
database root file must exist locally. This FILE record tells NetBase that a copy of the database root
file exists locally and will be used to satisfy calls to DBINFO. This root file must always match
exactly on the two machines.
D> FILE BANNER.DATA.NETBASE,SYSB;INFO
