Starting VISTA
This section provides instructions on starting VISTA. The VISTA.PUB.NETBASE program can be
accessed from within NBSpool, or several other methods from an MPE prompt. Each of these ways
can easily be configured into logon UDCs for different users.
The default method of running VISTA searches for folders in the ARCHIVE group of the
NETBASE account (@.ARCHIVE.NETBASE):
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE
Folders can be located in any group and account on your system. This lets you secure folders using
MPE account security. To see folders in a group and account other than ARCHIVE.NETBASE,
specify the group and account name in the INFO string of the RUN command:
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=“folderfileset.group.account”
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=“APRPTS.FOLDER.ACCNTG”
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=“GLRPT@.ARCHIVE.PROD”
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=“@.REPORTS.PAYROLL”
To view more than one fileset of folders at a time, include the additional locations in the INFO
string, separated by commas. You can use wild cards if necessary.
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=“folderfileset.group.account,folder2.group2.account2”
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=“AP0293.BACKUP.STORE1,AP0293.BACKUP.STORE2,AP0293.
BACKUP.STORE3”
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE;INFO=“ARRPT.@.ACCNTG,GLRPT.ARCHIVE.FINANCE,AP@.VISTA.PROD”
For special circumstances, such as ZENTEC terminals and X.25 wide-area networks, VISTA can
be configured to be compatible in these environments. Turn to Chapter 10 in the VISTA Plus
Administrator’s Guide or ask the VISTA administrator for information on these options.
