Configuration Database Management
stores your subsystem configuration and can be accessed at any time to restore the
subsystem to its last configuration. However, the TCPSAM process is not stored in the
system configuration database so you must always start TCPSAM processes by using
the TACL RUN command.
The TCPMAN, when started, either by the persistence manager or by a TACL RUN
command, starts any subordinate objects that are stored in the system configuration
database.
Configuration Database Management
Save your configuration database prior to configuring Parallel Library TCP/IP for the
first time and record the name and date of the saved database. This saved
configuration database can be used if future RVUs of Parallel Library TCP/IP are
incompatible with the Parallel Library TCP/IP records residing in the system
configuration database. If a new RVU of Parallel Library TCP/IP is incompatible with
the data stored in the configuration database, you can restore the saved configuration
database and reconfigure Parallel Library TCP/IP. The following SCF command saves
the current configuration database file in a new file located at
$SYSTEM.ZYSCONF.CONF0104:
->SAVE CONFIGURATI0N 01.04
The full explanation of the SCF SAVE command is documented in SCF Reference
Manual for G-Series RVUs.
Note. No dynamically created entries or routes are recorded in the system configuration
database.
Caution. The configuration database stores all SCF commands that you issue to modify your
Parallel Library TCP/IP environment. If you use startup scripts to start your Parallel Library
TCP/IP subsystem, you should compare your configuration database to those startup files to
ensure that the startup files reflect these additional modifications to the environment. For more
detailed procedures and specific migration considerations, see the TCP/IP (Parallel Library)
Migration Guide.
