NBSYNC Syntax
The syntax for running NBSYNC is as follows:
:RUN NBSYNC.PUB.NETBASE[,entry point]
where
entry point = CLEAR
CREATE
ENTER
DISCARD
NOW
REMOVE
REMOVEALL
RESET
VERIFY
The optional alternate entry points work as follows:
Entry Point Description
CLEAR
Has the same effect as resetting and reentering a shadow entry for a file.
CREATE
Creates shadow records for any permanent file on the system that is
covered by a wildcard shadow record. These entries are used by a
subsequent run of NBSYNC to set sync times for these files.
ENTER
Causes NBSYNC to prompt for the file name to be reset and for the last
modify date and time of the master file. The existing modify date and time
from the file label of the shadow file is displayed and you are prompted for
the new date/time. The new date and time must be entered in the same
format as the date and time that is displayed. This entry point is used
whenever a shadow file is resynced using a copy utility (DSCOPY) or if the
NEWDATE parm was used on the RESTORE.
DISCARD
Sets a file to the discard set in order to allow posting to continue after an
abort.
NOW
Sets the reset time to the current date/time instead of the last modified
date/time in the file label.
REMOVE
Deletes all automatically generated shadow records that do not have a
corresponding permanent file on the shadow system. The REMOVE entry
point can be run at any time. It does not delete shadow records for files in
the queue or discard state.
