Asynchronous Buffer Services communicates with the buffer indicated at the top of the window. If the job is connected to a buffer, that buffer is shown when the window opens. You can override the default buffer by changing the database number to the one defined for the required buffer. All actions are a request to the Asynchronous Buffer Manager (AFPABM) to perform the function.
| Option Code | Description |
|---|---|
| R: Restart | Stop the buffer in an orderly fashion, and then restart it again. Both primary and alternate configuration files (if used) must be available for this operation. (See note 1) |
| S: Stop | The Fastpath cache management service within the System
Coordinator daemon is stopped. The configuration file and alternate (if used)
must both be available for this operation.
Note: |
| N: Newcopy | Reload the Adabas Fastpath modules for the buffer and every other component connected to the buffer. AFPABM also performs a buffer restart. Both primary and alternate configuration files (if used) must be available for this operation. (See note 1) |
