Test RDBA Using NSTEST
To test RDBA, the data base RDBAT must reside in the home group of
the remote system. This is not a problem when you run QVALNS, because
that program creates the database and then purges it when it finishes.
If you want to test RDBA using NSTEST, perform the following steps.
1. Obtain a temporary copy of the job JQVALNS.NET.SYS. If this file is
not available, run QVALNS to create it.
2. Find the commands in this job which purge the database. They will
be very near the end of the job. Delete these lines using your favorite
editor.
3. Stream the job you just edited. When it finishes, the database will be
intact so that NSTEST will run.
4. After NSTEST completes, purge the database to save space on your
disk.
