Configuration Overview
To Make Configuration Changes Safely
1. Create a command file containing the SCF commands.
2. Save the current $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONFIG file using the SCF SAVE
command described in the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs.
3. Run SCF using the command file you created in Step 1.
If the new configuration creates a problem, you can return to the earlier configuration
by loading the system from the saved configuration file.
Using OBEYFORM to Create an SCF Command File
The OBEYFORM attribute of the INFO command can help you automate the task of

command.
You can use OBEYFORM on these objects:
