Note: The root partition is required when using the HP audit reading
routines to access ENTRY SEQUENCED, RELATIVE, and
UNSTRUCTURED Enscribe files events, but NOT for SQL Tables -
if supplied it is not used (the reason it is not needed for SQL tables
is because the file label always includes a link back to the primary
partition). The HP ARLIB routines internally use it to convert the
record’s “key” information (the "offset" from the base of the partition
the event occurred in) for the audit trail event into the absolute
record “key” (the record “key” from the base of the primary partition)
for the file.
If the ROOTPARTITION is not supplied for a partitioned Enscribe entry-
sequenced, relative, or unstructured file, and an I/O occurs to a secondary
partition for that file that is to be replicated, HP Shadowbase will get an
error converting the “key” for that I/O, will log an error, and then shutdown
replication (usually this will be logged as a Guardian file error 23, “The
disk address is out of bounds”).

In HP Shadowbase release 3.962, the LOADER was enhanced so that a
HP Shadowbase Consumer can determine if an audit trail event was
generated by the LOADER. In order for the Consumer to be able to
identify LOADER events, you must add a DBS object with the
SBCMDFILE parameter set to ON. The DBS SOURCEFILE parameter
should be set to the file name used in the TACL parameter PARAM
SBCMDFILE <file name>. A DBS TARGETFILE parameter is required.
The Consumer will automatically create the TARGETFILE command file
when you add the DBS object. A user exit can then call the API function
SBISLOADEREVENT to identify LOADER events.

If specified, this is the character prefix used for the HP Shadowbase well
known column names. The specified prefix value is used to replace the
“SHAD” portion of the well-known column names. Well-known column
names will only be checked if INCLUDESBDATA is also set ON. The
