2 Contents of the CONFTEXT File
This section describes the format and contents of the $DSMSCM.SYS.CONFTEXT
configuration file. It includes the following topics:
The CONFTEXT file is an EDIT-format configuration file that contains one or two
paragraphs: DEFINES and ALLPROCESSORS.
Typically, there is no need to change the CONFTEXT file on a G-series system.
DEFINES Paragraph (Optional)
The DEFINES paragraph, if used, is the first paragraph in the CONFTEXT file. It
contains one or more identifiers, each with its associated text-string. For G-series
RVUs, SYSGENR uses this paragraph to augment the DEFINES entries found in the
CONFAUX file.
A DEFINES entry allows SYSGENR to enter a text-string once and then refer to it by
an identifier. When SYSGENR encounters this identifier in a subsequent CONFTEXT
file entry, it substitutes the associated text-string for the identifier.
The DEFINES paragraph begins with the following statement:
DEFINES:
The syntax for a DEFINES paragraph entry is shown here.
identifier =
is a unique name that contains 1 through 31 alphanumeric or circumflex (^)
characters, without spaces. The first character must be alphabetic. The = (equal
sign) associates identifier with text-string.

DEFINES Paragraph (Optional)

ALLPROCESSORS Paragraph 2-2
DEFINES An optional paragraph that contains one or more identifiers,
each with its associated text-string, and augments the
DEFINES entries found in the CONFAUX file.
ALLPROCESSORS A required paragraph that contains entries that define the
NonStop Kernel operating system image for all processors in
the system.
Note. Use the DEFINES paragraph only if you plan to run SYSGENR outside of DSM/SCM,
an action that is not recommended. DSM/SCM ignores the DEFINES paragraph, if present, in
the CONFTEXT file.
