whether a preloaded procedure is used frequently enough to warrant consumption of
resources associated with preloading it.
You should consider preloading an NCL procedure that currently does not have a
status of PRELOADED, if the value in the AGEUSE column indicates that the NCL
procedure is frequently executed: that is, there is a relatively high number in the
AGEUSE column. You should consider unloading an NCL procedure, if the value in
the AGEUSE column indicates that the NCL procedure is infrequently executed.
Removing a Preloaded NCL
Procedure
Use the UNLOAD operand of the SYSPARMS command to remove an NCL procedure
that was preloaded with the SYSPARMS PRELOAD command. For example, to
remove a preloaded NCL procedure named TESTPROC, issue the following
command:
SYSPARMS UNLOAD=TESTPROC
If you unload a procedure while it is in use, any user who has invoked the procedure
and is waiting for it to execute receives a warning message, but the procedure is not
unloaded until its execution has concluded.
Customizing the NCL
Procedure Search Path
The default NCL procedure search path is the order used, by default, to locate an NCL
procedure when the NCL procedure is invoked. Section 3, “Configuring NonStop
NET/MASTER MS,” describes the default NCL procedure search path. This
subsection describes how to create NCL object files to include in a customized NCL
procedure search path, and how to customize the search order in the path.
Note Rule Management Services (RMS) is distributed with an NCL object file, which must appear in the
customized NCL procedure search path for RMS to be operational. Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER
RMS Management and Operations Guide for more information.
Creating an NCL Object File
for the Customized Search
Path
NonStop NET/MASTER MS is distributed with a file that has the object code for NCL
procedures required by NonStop NET/MASTER MS. This NCL object file is part of
the default NCL procedure search path.
You can use the NCLCOMP command to create additional NCL object files to include
in a customized NCL procedure search path. Usually, an NCL object file contains the
objects for multiple NCL procedures. Therefore, use the NCLCOMP command to
individually compile each NCL procedure you want to include in an NCL object file.
The NCLCOMP command lets you:
Create a new NCL object file
Add a new NCL procedure object to the file
Overwrite an existing NCL procedure object in the file by an updated object
Delete an existing NCL procedure object from the file
Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual and the NonStop
NET/MASTER NCL Programmer’s Guide for more information about using the
NCLCOMP command.
