Network File Access - UniData layered product that uses tcp/ip to safely access files on another server running UniData with local access to the files. Licensed separately There is a separate manual in the doc set that describes it. 'Developing OSF/NFA Applications' You can download manuals for free. https://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/u2/pubs/library/
Also known as OFS (Open File System) api - of which NFA is the UniData native implementation.

Can you tell me what NFA is and how to get it? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wally Terhune Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 3:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] Looking for advice on upgrading from Unidata 6.0 to Unid ata 7.1 o n HP9000 HPUX 11 you cannot use NFS mounts to access UniData files on another box that are being accessed locally without risking file corruption. period. no matter that the releases. The reason is that record locking and group locking (which maintains the integrity of data within a group in a hashed file independent of 'logical' record locks) is maintained in shared memory (or Windows memory mapped files) that are local to each system. You CAN use NFA to safely read/write UniData files on another system running UniData.

Or is there something about the upgrade that changes the underlying file? This would allow us to begin testing without having to perform a full restore of the data.

We are using SB+ but other than that we do not do too much that is too exotic or fancy. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!
