ENABLE

ENABLE is both a transactional and nontransactional program. ENABLE generates

transactions if your ENABLE program specifies SET TMF ON.

ENABLE checks the file attributes of database files; if a file is audited and the program

has not specified SET TMF ON, ENABLE generates an error message and refuses to

access the file.

If you have existing ENABLE programs that do not specify TMF ON, you may configure

HIDEAUDIT for files that will now be audited. Then, by preparing the ENABLGS server,

you will be able to access audited files through an ENABLE application that assumes

the files are not audited.

EDIT, TEDIT, VS

Prepared copies of these programs work with audited edit files; file updates are

processed with automatic transactions. Replicating edit files though audit is not

practical because of the backwards EOF problem described under Edit Files on

page 5-2, above.

Spooler

The Spooler control files and collector files can be audited and replicated. After a

NonStop RDF software takeover, the completed Spooler jobs can be accessed and

printed on the remote system.

The components that need to be prepared are CSPOOL and SPOOL.

For a warm start, the files that need to be audited are the Spooler collector files and

control files.

You should change the obey file for the Spooler cold start. The line that creates the

spool data file should have AUDIT specified; alternatively, you could use a prepared

FUP to create the audited files automatically.

You should also configure the Spooler control files to be created as audited. The typical

CI command would be:

After an abrupt primary system failure and a takeover on a remote system, the

replicated spooler files may be in a state that requires rebuilding the control files.

Special considerations apply when rebuilding the spooler control files. See paragraph

Rebuilding Spooler Control Files

below.

Rebuilding Spooler Control Files

A Spooler WARM START with the REBUILD option first creates a temporary file of

format $vol.#nnnnn (the usual format for a temporary file), then renames the temporary
