Accessing the Latest HPE Shadowbase Online Documentation

Shadowbase software publishes a new version of the manuals and documentation after every new Shadowbase release. To access the latest published Shadowbase documentation, search “NonStop Technical Library” and follow the first link shown with a PDF. Choose your RVU (e.g., L-Series: picking the latest RVU always guarantees the most recent product publications) and click on it. Then type into the search bar at the top right of the page “HPE NonStop Shadowbase,” and you will see a list of documentation available for download.
