TRANSFER (XCNFG
Program)
After you have defined all the components of your TRANSFER system, you run the
XCNFG program to configure all the defined components. This program is generated
by running the definition program for Base TRANSFER (CDTRDEF). XCNFG resides
in the configuration subvolume.
XCNFG is a TACL macro; you must have TACL running on your system in order to
run XCNFG.
Before you run XCNFG, you must complete running the definition programs for each
component you want to include in your TRANSFER system. If you want to customize
the system, the file CUSTCNFG must reside in the configuration subvolume and
contain the PATHCOM commands for altering the PATHWAY configuration. For
information on preparing the file CUSTCNFG, see Section 7.
[ RUN ] XCNFG [ / OUT $ filename / ]
XCNFG
is the TACL macro that configures the TRANSFER system. This program resides
in the configuration subvolume. The configuration subvolume must be the default
subvolume.
filename
is the name of a disk file or spooler file that receives the output from XCNFG.
You probably want to use an OUT file because the output is usually several pages
long.
Example
Here is an example of running XCNFG:
1> RUN trancnfg.XCNFG / OUT $s.#xcnfg /
This command specifies running XCNFG in configuration subvolume TRANCNFG. If
XCNFG execution results in errors, make the indicated corrections. If you must alter
the definition of any component, rerun all definition programs as specified earlier in
this section; then rerun XCNFG.
XCNFG assigns the PATHCTL file to the configuration subvolume. If a PATHCTL file
exists in the configuration subvolume when XCNFG runs, XCNFG purges the file
before starting PATHMON.
XCNFG uses files that were automatically generated by the definition programs and
written to the configuration subvolume. These files contain PATHCOM commands to
configure the PATHWAY objects required by the components.
