Using Preprocessing Commands 
This section lists and provides the syntax for helpful ASSIGN and PARAM commands 
that you can create using the Distributed System Management/Software Configuration 
Manager (DSM/SCM). Also included in this section is a sample command file for a 
TNS/R system.
When using DSM/SCM, HP recommends using the information in this section only 
under the advice of a service provider, usually in order to help resolve a migration 
problem.
This section includes the following topics:
Overview
After making any needed changes to the CONFTEXT file, you can use TACL ASSIGN 
and PARAM commands to create default operating parameters that define work files, 
media formats, and utility options for SYSGENR. These operating parameters remain 
in effect until you log off or clear them.
DSM/SCM creates its own set of appropriate parameters when running SYSGENR. 
However, you can specify ASSIGN and PARAM commands in DSM/SCM by 
performing the following steps:
1. From the Support Info pull-down menu, select Tool Assign.
2. Once the Build/Apply screen appears, choose the Tool Assign selection to specify 
your ASSIGN and PARAM commands.
Refer to A Helpful Command File on page 3-24 for information on creating a command 
file to contain the desired ASSIGN, PARAM, and RUN SYSGENR commands. You 
create a command file only if you plan to run SYSGENR outside of DSM/SCM, an act 
that is not recommended.
