Configuration Commands
You can configure AutoTMF features using commands to set global options and to 
specify file names and program names that use AutoTMF options. See ALTER 
GLOBAL on page 6-35, ADD ATMFFILESET on page 6-6, and ADD 
ATMFPROGRAMS on page 6-13 for complete use and syntax descriptions of these 
commands. The ADD commands have corresponding INFO, ALTER and DELETE 
commands.
In unusual situations, you can also configure many of the same features by using 
DEFINES; however, configuring DEFINES consistently in a production environment is 
difficult and prone to error. See Appendix B, Special DEFINEs.
Configuring File Sets
When you configure ATMFFILESET and ATMFPROGRAMS, you specify file sets or 
patterns, such as $DATA*.FIRM*.LOG*. Because a file name may be configured by 
more than one pattern, an unambiguous search order of patterns has been defined. 
When an audited file is opened or program is started, the name is compared to the 
configured file sets. The first successful match concludes the search and determines 
the NonStop AutoTMF configuration options.
For example, suppose the following two commands were used to configure 
ATMFFILESET:
ADD ATMFFILESET $*.FIRM01.LOG* CREATEAUDIT;
ADD ATMFFILESET $DATA.*.LOGFILE SEPARATETX;
The search order causes the file name to be compared to $DATA.*.LOGFILE before 
$*.FIRM01.LOG*. If the file $DATA.FIRM01.LOGFILE is opened, the SEPARATETX 
option is applied, not CREATEAUDIT.
File Set Search Order
The search order for ATMFFILESET and ATMFPROGRAMS file sets places more 
specific file sets before more general file sets. 
1. No wild-card in entire file name ($DATA.FIRM01.PAYROLL)
2. Wild-card only in file part of file name ($DATA.FIRM01.*)
