Enabling/Disabling NetBase via NBVERS
NBVERS may also be used to enable and disable NetBase for CM. NetBase automatically intercepts
all native mode file and database intrinsics via the routines in XL.PUB.SYS with a global install. In
order to intercept all compatibility mode intrinsics, you must run NBVERS.PUB.NETBASE,ENABLE.
The ENABLE entry point redirects the CM intrinsics to run through RTMSL.PUB.SYS, where the
NetBase routines are located.
In a shadowing environment, running NBVERS,ENABLE prior to any users running CM programs is
critical and should be part of the system startup process. If CM programs are not being intercepted,
their updates to databases will not be shadowed, and files will go out of sync. In an NFA
environment, NBVERS is similarly important if you have multiple copies of a database and you want
to direct certain programs to a remote copy versus a local one.
