Input Files for SYSGENR
CONFAUX File
The CONFAUX file is an EDIT-format file created by DSM/SCM. The CONFAUX file 
contains a list of process code files and a series of statements that define the locations 
of the system code and system library files that are used by the CONFTEXT file and 
SYSGENR to build the new operating system files. It is seldom necessary to edit this 
file when reconfiguring your system, unless you wish to insert another code file that is 
to be carried over to the new operating system.
Using the CONFAUX file allows DSM/SCM to perform many configuration tasks for 
you. If you do not use the CONFAUX file, SYSGENR requires you to do the tasks 
described in Table 1-1. Contents of the CONFAUX file are further described in 
Section 2, Contents of the CONFTEXT File. 
Files Copied From a Previous System 
As needed, you can carry over previously created files or user applications to use with 
the newly created operating system. You do this by specifying them in the 
FILES_TO_COPY_TO_NEW_SYSTEM entry of the CONFTEXT file before running 
SYSGENR, which copies these files to the designated disk area. These files can 
include document and utility programs such as the File Utility Program (FUP), 
RELOAD, BACKUP, and RESTORE, all of which are user-callable standard system 
programs.
Accelerated User-Created Object Files
HP provides you with preaccelerated system code and system library files. However, 
you must accelerate any of your own programs before adding them to system code
