Running NBT

To start NBT, use the standard TACL RUN command.

NBT must be run using a SUPER group user ID or the object file must have the program

identity (PROGID) bit set and be owned by a SUPER group user ID. This is due to the

TCP/IP restriction on users of well-known Internet port addresses; TCP/IP requires that

the SUPER group be used.

The NBT object file must be licensed. Licensing is required due to a privileged

procedure used for user ID verification and dynamic session process management.

Once the NBT process is started, NBTCOM is used to configure domains and 6530

windows, and to adjust parameters.

You can use the following PARAM statements with NBT. (Undefined PARAMs

generate EMS events and are bypassed.)

PARAM BACKUPCPU cpu

specifies the backup processor number. The default is NONE. Refer to BACKUP /

BACKUPCPU on page 3-14 for a description of available options.

PARAM POOL^SIZE number

specifies the size in words of the extended segment memory pool used for control

tables and I/O buffers. The default is 1,000,000 words. number can specify a

decimal number optionally followed by the letter K (kilowords), which multiplies by

1,024, or by the letter M (megawords), which multiplies by 1,048,576.

The NBT pool requirements in words are as follows:

Process startup—90,000 words

ADD DOMAIN—26,000 words

ADD WIN (static or dynamic)—9,000 words

Active session (WIN or WSPTP)—4,300 words

Allowing a 10 percent margin, the default NBT pool size of 1,000,000 will support

60 active 6530 windows or 185 active WSPTP sessions.
