Parameter Description
LOCK
This option is only applicable for non-IMAGE files. It causes the
shadow posting process to open the shadow copy with LOCK access.
This allows user processes to open the file with lock access.
LOGONLY
This option is only applicable for files that are not shadowed. If
logging is enabled, specifying this option causes the export process
to log all updates to this file.
NOLOG
This option is only applicable for files that are shadowed.
Specifying this option turns off the logging of updates to this file.
However, the file will still be shadowed.
MAP
Specifying this option causes NetBase to map the file name for a
local open to the remote name as specified in the FILE record. This
option is applicable for all file types.
NOKFILES
This option is only applicable for FILE records that use wildcards to
specify the shadowing of a whole group or account. If this option is
added to such a record, work files with names that match the :LISTF
pattern ?####### will not be shadowed.
NOPEND
Disables pending locks on this file.
PROTECT
Specifying this option causes NetBase to encrypt the database
passwords before calling DBOPEN. Use of this parameter forces
programs to be run through NetBase in order to access databases.
READPASS=password
When specified for a remote database, this option defines a specific
password for NetBase to use when opening the database for read
access. It also causes NetBase to use the defined password instead of
the password specified by the user process. The password is case
sensitive.
When specified for a database to be shadowed, this option defines a
specific password for NetBase to use when retrieving shadow
transactions for IMAGE databases. It also causes NetBase to use the
defined password instead of the password specified by the user
process. This is necessary when the user password does not grant
access to all items in the record. The password is case sensitive.
SHADOW
This option is only applicable when both the file and its shadow
copy reside on the same node. Specifying this option causes
NetBase to treat this file as the shadow copy.
