The ALLBASE/NET User's Guide describes ALLBASE/NET, a product that allows
an application on one MPE/iX or HP-UX system to access an ALLBASE/SQL
DBEnvironment on another MPE/iX system or HP-UX system. This manual is written for the system administrator who is using ALLBASE/NET
on an MPE/iX system. He or she uses this guide to understand how ALLBASE/NET works
and to learn how to use the NETUtil utility to maintain necessary files.
In addition, portions of this guide will be of interest to
application programmers and to users of ALLBASE/SQL DBEnvironments,
particularly chapters 1, 3, and 4.
In some HP documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will
encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX.
MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL
will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL
system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to
the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical
directories). This guide is divided as follows:
Chapter 1, "Getting Started," provides an overview of ALLBASE/NET and its
components.
Chapter 2, "Setting Up ALLBASE/NET," contains step-by-step instructions for
setting up ALLBASE/NET on the client and the server.
Chapter 3, "Using ALLBASE/SQL Through ALLBASE/NET," describes how to use
ALLBASE/NET with various applications. It also discusses the ALLBASE
preprocessors.
Chapter 4, "NETUtil Reference," describes the NETUtil commands and gives
examples of how they are used.
Appendix A is a list of ALLBASE/NET files.
The Glossary contains definitions of terms used in this manual.
