System Shutdown
The system shutdown procedures need to change to include the stopping of NetBase prior to
shutting down the system. The following changes are recommended.
Action Enter Explanation
1. Stop
NetBase
:RUN
NBCTRL.PUB.NETBASE;INFO="STOP
NETBASE"
:PAUSE nnn*
To stop the NetBase job gracefully,
allowing all processes - shadowing,
NFA, AutoRPM... to cease without
adversely affecting the data.
(The pause is recommended if this is
in a background job, to allow time
for the shutdown to complete, prior
to stopping the network.)
nnn* - The length of the pause
depends on the amount of time it
takes NetBase to shutdown on your
system.
2. Stop the
network
:NSCONTROL STOP
:NETCONTROL STOP;NET=LAN1**
:NETCONTROL STOP;NET=LOOP
Shutdown the network, now that
NetBase has stopped gracefully.
** You may have multiple LANs or
a different network name. Substitute
your network information here.
3. Shutdown
the system
however you choose
Note. Shutting down NetBase must be complete prior to stopping the network. Shutting
down NetBase must be done via NBCTRL only. Aborting the NetBase background job
may cause synchronization errors when shadowing. Aborting the NetBase job can
adversely affect programs running remotely, users' accessing data remotely, and remote
spooling. Do not abort the NetBase background job.
