NetBase for MPE Reference Guide

NetBase NFA
6-7
Example 3
NetBase does not require that the file on the remote machine have the same name as the file
referenced by the local process. In the next example, we are going to allow local processes that
reference BANNER.DATA.NETBASE to access BANNER.DATA.BACKUP on the remote system. The FILE
record tells NetBase that BANNER.DATA.NETBASE is actually BANNER.DATA.BACKUP located on
SYSB.
D> FILE BANNER.DATA.NETBASE=BANNER.DATA.BACKUP,SYSB
Example 4
Entire groups and/or accounts can be defined as being located on a remote system by use of the @
wildcard. The following illustrates defining the entire DATA group of the PROD account as being
located on SYSB. This FILE record tells NetBase that the entire DATA group of the PROD account is
located on SYSB.
D> FILE @.DATA.PROD,SYSB
Example 5
If the primary node you specify is not available for remote access, an alternate node may be
specified. If node SYSB is the primary node and the alternate node is SYSC, issue the following FILE
command:
D> FILE TESTFILE.DATA.PROD,SYSB;ALT=SYSC
When the application opens TESTFILE and NetBase is unable to communicate with SYSB, it will try
to open the file on SYSC.
