Overview Customizing your TRANSFER system allows you to meet special needs at your site by

changing the configuration generated by a definition program. You can change—or

customize—that configuration by maintaining customizing files on the configuration

subvolume.

You can make the following kinds of changes to your TRANSFER system:

Add PATHWAY objects for user-written clients and agents

Adjust PATHWAY objects to improve performance

Adjust configuration parameters that cannot be set with the define files

To change the generated configuration, you need to know the parameter values that

are generated. The definition programs generate files on the configuration subvolume

that contain the PATHCOM commands to configure the PATHWAY objects.

There is a file for each component you define for your TRANSFER system. The files

are:

GTRCNFG—Base TRANSFER

GMLCNFG—PS MAIL 6530

GIMCNFG—PS MAIL 3270

GCMCNFG—PS MAIL TTY

GX4CNFG—the X400 gateway

You can examine these files for the information you need. Never update these files.

Any changes made to one of these files is lost at the next definition or redefinition run

because these files are generated by the definition programs. All definition programs

secure these files O-OO to remind you not to edit them.
