Storing New Names with the NALOAD Program
To move the Base TRANSFER data files other than the name directory files, you must
use the NALOAD program to change the TRANSFER configuration entries stored in
the Name files. To use the NALOAD program, follow these steps:
1. Stop all TRANSFER processes except the NAMESRV and TEXTSRV programs (the
A-NAME and A-BASE-TEXT server classes), or start only the NAMESRV and
TEXTSRV programs. You can create an obey file as shown in the following
subsection, “Starting the TEXTSRV and NAMESRV Programs.”
2. Issue this command:
ASSIGN TEXTSRV, Text-server process name
3. Run the NALOAD program from the TRANSFER user-DSV. NALOAD prompts
you for input with an exclamation point (!).
4. Enter this command:
SEARCH %\ your-node-name .$t
Change the $t if your site uses a different process name for the Name server
defined in the Base TRANSFER define file with parameter TRNameServName.
5. Store the new names in the name directory files by issuing the following command
once for each file you have moved:
ALTER ALIAS CORR-CONFIG. configured-name , ALIAS FOR .new-file-name
where configured-name and .new-file-name are corresponding
specifications from the list in Table 11-1. The period (.) before .new-file-name
is required.
Change the CORR- if your site uses a different name for the correspondent
directory defined with parameter TRCorrDirectory in the Base TRANSFER define
file
6. To check the entry, issue the following command:
READ ALIAS CORR-CONFIG. configured-name
