4. Rename any existing templates:
tacl> rename newres, oldres
tacl> rename newnres, oldnres
5. Run INSTALL^TEMPLATES to create updated template files:
tacl>install^templates newres newnres $system.ztempl
NOTE: Running this macro permanently changes the location of the EMS template files.
DSM/SCM creates new EMS templates when it creates a new SYSnn. However, when the
new system is loaded, the old template files named in the last execution of INSTALL^TEMPLATES
are opened instead of the new files. To use the new RTMPLATE and TEMPLATE EMS files
created by DSM/SCM, enter this SCF ALTER command:
-> ASSUME SUBSYS $ZZKRN -> ALTER, RESIDENT_TEMPLATES
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.RTMPLATE, & NONRESIDENT_TEMPLATES
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TEMPLATE
The files newres and newnres are meant to be used as temporary names until the next
SYSGEN and system load.
The following error message might occur when running the
INSTALL^TEMPLATES macro:
>$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SCF /NAME $Z019,INV :INBUF.1,OUTV :OUTBUF.1/
Current Nonresident template file is: $SYSTEM.TEMPLATE.NEWNRES
TEMPLATE and NONRESIDENT files must be different: $SYSTEM.TEMPLATE.NEWNRES
*** INSTALL^TEMPLATES: Terminated due to error ***
The message indicates that the template and nonresident files specified
in the INSTALL^TEMPLATES command are identical to those on the current
subvolume. The INSTALL^TEMPLATES macro tries to create the newres and
newnres files, but stops when it finds that these template files already
exist.
To correct the problem:
1. Rename the current files:
tacl> rename newres, oldres
tacl> rename newnres, oldnres
2. Run the INSTALL^TEMPLATES macro again and use the file names newres and newnres.
This message indicates that the templates are successfully installed:
>$SYSTEM.SYS00.FUP /NAME $Z03M,INV :INBUF.1,OUTV :OUTBUF.1/
