NetBase Release Notes Version 9.7

Implementing TPS Shadowing
If currently shadowing IMAGE databases with NetBase, follow the steps below for implementing
TPS shadowing:
_____ 1. Install the Patch from HP which provides TPS shadowing.
_____ 2. Select the databases to be used for TPS.
_____ 3. Quiet the databases that are being shadowed - get the users out of the databases.
_____ 4. Flush any shadow transactions.
:RUN NBFLUSH.PUB.NETBASE,STOPWAIT;PARM=shadownode#
_____ 5. Enable the databases for TPS shadowing using NBTPSUTL.PUB.NETBASE
:RUN NBTPSUTL.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=”DBNAME” OR INFO=”^LIST”
_____ 6. Remove the ;SYNC option from the FILE statements in the NetBase directory.
_____ 7. Start the posting process on the shadow system
:RUN NBCTRL.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=’START POST”
_____ 8. Allow users access to the databases on the Master system.
Note:
If you are currently shadowing with Dynamic Transactions (DBXBEGIN, DBXEND, DBXUNDO)
and are using the ;DBX option on your SHADOW statements, you must RESYNC before you can
begin using TPS shadowing. This is because with the previous implementation in NetBase we
did not maintain an exact physical copy for DBX databases. Now with TPS we can maintain an
exact physical copy.
