Troubleshooting NetBase
B-3
The error message in the background job indicates that a bad password has been defined and that
queuing for this file has started. The password for a shadowed database is specified with the
SHADOW command in NBDIR.
Check the database passwords using DBUTIL and reissue the SHADOW statement with the correct
password:
:RUN NBDIR.PUB.NETBASE
D> SHADOW PAYDB.DATA.PAYROLL;PASS=WRITER
After reissuing the SHADOW statement, the next thing we need to do is get NBPOST to post the
transactions that have been queuing. This is accomplished by issuing a ROLL FORWARD command
within NBCTRL. The ROLL FORWARD command tells the posting process to begin posting the queued
transactions for a file that has been queuing:
:RUN NBCTRL.PUB.NETBASE
*> ROLL FORWARD PAYDB.DATA.PAYROLL
At this point we should be able to issue a SHOW POST Node# command again and we should see
IMAGE under the TYPE column and the QUE flag should be blank.
