Specifying Customized and Distribution Panel Libraries
There are two panel libraries that, collectively, are called the “system panel library”:
The customized panel library, which stores:
System-level panel description files that you write
Customized copies of panel description files that Tandem distributes with
NonStop NET/MASTER MS
The distribution panel library, which contains the panel description files that
Tandem distributes with NonStop NET/MASTER MS (see Appendix A, “File
Reference,” for the names of these panel description files)
The panel description source files in the distribution panel library can be overwritten
by successive installations, new releases, or other software updates; panel description
source files in the customized procedure library are not overwritten.
Note Do not modify the panel description source files in the distribution panel library. If you want to modify a
distributed panel description file, copy the panel description file into either the customized panel library or
a user panel library, and modify the copy. This practice enables you to retain a working copy of the
distributed panel description file.
You must specify the location of the customized and distribution panel libraries in the
CONFIG file if either of the following two conditions exist:
The NCP program file and a library reside on different volumes.
The name of a library is changed to a name other than its default.
You can specify the location of the customized and distribution panel libraries by
using the PARAM command operands specified in Table 3-4.
Table 3-4. Customized and Distribution Panel Library Location PARAM Operands
PARAM Operand Purpose Default Value
PNLCUSTSRC Customized panel library. $isv-vol.ZNNMPCS
PNLDISTSRC Distribution panel library. $isv-vol.ZNNMPDS
Valid values for the two operands are valid subvolume names. For example, if you
move the library that contains your site’s customized panel description files to
$DATA3.ZNNMPDEV, include the following command in the CONFIG file:
PARAM PNLCUSTSRC=$DATA3.ZNNMPDEV
If NonStop NET/MASTER MS cannot find the panel description file libraries, it raises
a run-time error when a user attempts to log on because NonStop NET/MASTER MS
cannot display the main menu panel.
