Example

Here is an example of how you run the CDMLDEF program:

1> RUN transfer-dsv.CDMLDEF /OUT $S.#mlout,NOWAIT/ trancnfg

This command specifies that program CDMLDEF resides on the TRANSFER user-

DSV, and that define file DEFINEML resides on subvolume TRANCNFG. CDMLDEF

writes the generated files to subvolume TRANCNFG and the listing to the spooler file

#MLOUT. NOWAIT returns immediate control to the terminal while execution

continues. CDMLDEF checks input data for required parameters and performs some

parameter checking. If CDMLDEF finds input errors, CDMLDEF issues a message to

the listing file. If CDMLDEF execution results in errors, make the indicated

corrections in the DEFINEML file and rerun CDMLDEF. Continue this process until

execution results in this message: “CDMLDEF finished successfully.”

CDMLDEF generates files that other installation procedures automatically use for

configuring, starting, and stopping PS MAIL 6530. The files generated in the

configuration subvolume are:

GMLCNFG, which contains the PATHWAY configurations for M6530-TCPs and

M6530 programs

GMLCOOL, which contains PATHCOM commands to invoke M6530-TCPs

GMLSTOP, which contains GUARDIAN 90 command interpreter commands to

stop M6530-TCP processes

If any file that CDMLDEF generates exists in the configuration subvolume when

CDMLDEF executes, CDMLDEF moves the file to a new subvolume, writes the newly

generated file to the configuration subvolume, and issues a message telling the

location of the old, moved file. CDMLDEF moves the file as described in "Definition

Program File-Moving Procedure" later in this section.

Do not directly edit the files that CDMLDEF generates, which are secured O-OO to

discourage editing. If you wish to change configuration information, either customize

PS MAIL 6530 by adding information to customizing files as described in Section 7, or

change information in the PS MAIL 6530 define file and rerun CDMLDEF.
