Using NetWare Btrieve with a NetWare SFT III Server

An enhanced NetWare Btrieve Message Router (BROUTER.NLM) and a new communications module (BTRVSTUB.NLM) were provided with NetWare Btrieve 6.10b to support NLMs that need to run in the IOEngine of a NetWare SFT III server.

BROUTER.NLM redirects all Btrieve calls from the IOEngine to NetWare Btrieve running in the MSEngine (Mirror Server Engine).

To run NLMs that require Btrieve in the IOEngine, perform the following steps:

  1. Load BTRIEVE.NLM and BSPXCOM.NLM in the MSEngine. You can configure the BSTART.NCF NetWare command file to load these NLMs.

    Depending on the particular NLM that you will be running in the IOEngine, you may need to increase BSPXCOM's data buffer size with the Btrieve Setup utility (BSETUP.NLM). (See the discussion of the configuration options Largest Record Size and Number of Remote Sessions.)

  2. Load AFTER311.NLM in the IOEngine.

  3. Load BTRVSTUB.NLM in the IOEngine. This NLM provides Btrieve API names so that BROUTER.NLM may be loaded.

  4. Load BROUTER.NLM in the IOEngine.

    Depending on the particular NLM that you will be running in the IOEngine, you may need to increase BROUTER's data buffer size with the Btrieve Setup utility.
