Executing Persistent
NCL Processes
You can use the START verb to execute a persistent NCL process: an NCL process
that is automatically restarted by NonStop NET/MASTER MS after failure. A
persistent NCL process can only execute in the background processing environment
associated with a virtual user (see “Executing NCL Procedures in the Background,”
later in this section, for more information).
See the NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Programmer’s Guide and the NonStop
NET/MASTER NCL Reference Manual for more information on the START verb and
persistent NCL processes.
NCL Procedure
Libraries
NCL procedure libraries are subvolumes that store NCL procedures. An NCL
procedure library can store source files, object files, or both. There are three types of
procedure libraries:
User procedure library
A user procedure library is where source code is stored for NCL procedures
belonging to a particular user or group of users. All users may have access to the
same library, or each user may have access to a private library. The maximum
number of private libraries is determined by the number of NonStop
NET/MASTER MS users.
Your default user library is assigned in the NCL Library Subvolume field in your
user ID definition record.
Customized procedure library
The customized procedure library is where source code is stored for customized
system-level NCL procedures, such as a customized EMSPROC or LOGPROC
procedure. A NonStop NET/MASTER MS system has only one customized
procedure library.
To find out the location of the customized procedure library for your system, issue
a SHOW PARAM command and look at the PARAM NCLCUSTSRC value.
Distribution procedure library
The distribution procedure library is where source code is stored for some NCL
procedures distributed as part of a NonStop NET/MASTER MS installation or
upgrade. A NonStop NET/MASTER MS system has only one distribution
procedure library.
To find out the location of the distribution procedure library for your system, issue
a SHOW PARAM command and look at the PARAM NCLDISTSRC value.
Collectively, the customized and distribution procedure libraries are called the system
procedure library.
