To make OutBoard even more "intuitive", a special Nearline Storage Menu has been developed. This menu serves also as a substitute for SE38 transaction code for running special OutBoard accelerators.

_Menu

The user can access this menu by entering the transaction /DVD/NLS_MENU or in OutBoard cockpit Run → Expert Tools. Tasks in the menu are divided into 5 main groups:
♦ Archive Maintenance
♦ HANA
♦ Mass archiving
♦ NLS Management
♦ NLS Lookup Tool Menu
♦ NLS Writer Analyser
These areas contain well-known reports for OutBoard users centrally with documentation for every task.
Nearline Storage Menu functionality:

	Technical information about specific task
	Description of a specific task
	Refresh button
	Search in NLS menu
