PARAM WORKFILE

specifies that the SIT is to remain online after it has been created. Use this option

if you intend to immediately load the system image.

Example

The following example instructs SYSGENR to keep the SIT online:

> PARAM UNLOAD NO

PARAM WORKFILE

While SYSGENR runs, it places the SYSGENR, BIND, NLD, TEMPLI, and XLLINK

work files on the current default volume or subvolume. You can alter the work file

destination, or make the work files permanent, by using this command. The syntax is

shown below.

{$volume | [$volume.]subvolume }

is a volume name, subvolume name, or both, where the SYSGENR, BIND, NLD,

TEMPLI, and XLLINK work files are to be created.

If you specify subvolume or $volume.subvolume, the work files (except files

SYSGENH and SYSGENP, which cannot be saved) become permanent at that

location. This is useful if you wish to look at the work files for debugging purposes

following system generation, or if you are running simultaneous SYSGENRs and

need to allocate work files to different locations.

Work files are temporary unless you include a subvolume name. If you specify

$volume, you can put work files on another disk with more free space. When

SYSGENR terminates, it purges these temporary work files.

You can also make individual work files permanent by using an ASSIGN command.

See Making SYSGENR Work Files Permanent on page 3-4.

Caution. You should perform a SIT load only in an emergency and on the advice of a service

provider.

A SIT load is a destructive function that erases all files on the system disk, including all

information in the system configuration database. You should maintain a recent backup of the

system configuration database because this information is not stored on the SIT. If you

perform a SIT load without also restoring the system configuration database, you must

reconfigure all system processes and peripherals that are created using SCF. Many additional

steps are also required to restore the system to working order. Contact your service provider

for more information.
