Cool Starting the NetBatch-Plus Pathway System
The examples in this procedure relate to the Installation Example on page 2-5.
Cool Starting the NetBatch-Plus Pathway System
1. Log on as the owner of the NetBatch-Plus TACL macro NCOOL. (The macro’s file
security is “OOOO,” which means only its owner can invoke it.)
$EDP SPRVSR 70> LOGON 205,70
Password:
$FPP ADMIN 71>
2. Change the current volume and subvolume to the NetBatch-Plus object file
subvolume. This subvolume contains the NCOOL macro.
$FPP ADMIN 71> VOLUME $DATA7.NBPOBJ
3. Invoke the NCOOL macro to start the Pathway configuration and startup process.
$DATA7 NBPOBJ 72> NCOOL
The examples in this procedure relate to the Installation Example on page 2-5.
Running the NetBatch-Plus Application
You can run the NetBatch-Plus application any time after configuring and starting its
Pathway system. The TACL macro NRUN (created during the installation process)
performs all tasks necessary to start the application on your terminal, including
establishing communications between your terminal and the NetBatch-Plus PATHMON
process, and running the program that displays the Main Menu screen.
To start the NetBatch-Plus application, invoke the NRUN macro in the NetBatch-Plus
object file subvolume. The macro’s file security is “NOOO,” so any user can invoke it.
This example of invoking the macro relates to the Installation Example on page 2-5:
$FPP ADMIN 104> $DATA7.NBPOBJ.NRUN
For information about signing on to the NetBatch-Plus application for the first time after
installation, see 2. Sign On for the First Time on page 4-16. For information on setting
up the processing environment after installation, see Planning Guidelines on page 4-2
and Setup Procedures on page 4-16.
Note. Before starting system configuration, NCOLD purges any existing Pathway control and
log files (NBPCTL, NBPLOG, NBPLOG2) from the object file subvolume. If you are cold
starting a newly installed system for the first time, these files will not exist. For this reason, the
TACL command interpreter displays “File error 11” messages (“File not in directory …”) when
NCOLD tries to purge the files. You can ignore these messages.
