Assigning a Tape Drive

You can use an ASSIGN command to specify the tape drive that SYSGENR uses to

create a system image tape (SIT). As a result, SYSGENR does not prompt you for

the tape drive name; it writes to the tape drive you have specified in the ASSIGN

command. The syntax is shown here.

[\system.]$tape

is the physical system and file name of the tape drive you want SYSGENR to use.

Example

The following example assigns the name of the tape drive to be $TAPE01 on the local

system:

ASSIGN SYSGEN^TAPE, $TAPE01

Assigning SYSGENR Program Names

SYSGENR uses several programs that it expects to find on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.

However, you can use an ASSIGN command to specify a different program file

location. The syntax is shown below.

SYSGEN^progname

is the program file name used by SYSGENR for the following programs:

[[[\system.]$volume.]subvolume.]newfilename

is the physical system, volume, subvolume, and file name of the program file you

want SYSGENR to use. If you supply a partial file name, SYSGENR expands the

file name using the default information in the RUN SYSGENR command.

ASSIGN SYSGEN^TAPE, [\system.]$tape

ASSIGN SYSGEN^progname,

[[[\system.]$volume.]subvolume.]newfilename

Program SYSGEN^progname

BACKUP SYSGEN^BACKUP

BIND SYSGEN^BINDER

DISKGEN SYSGEN^DISKGEN

NLD SYSGEN^LINKER

SWID SYSGEN^SWID

TEMPLI SYSGEN^TEMPLI

XLLINK SYSGEN^XLLINK
