Capturing a Configuration
You can use the INFO command with the OBEYFORM option to capture a
configuration for use in future start operations.
When you specify the OBEYFORM option, the PATHMON process reads information
from the PATHMON configuration file and writes it to a specified file in the format
required for a PATHMON environment startup file. Each attribute is written as a
syntactically correct PATHCOM command with the proper SET prefix. Example 5-13
contrasts output of the INFO command with and without the OBEYFORM option
specified:
You can use the OBEYFORM option to create a comprehensive record of your
complete PATHMON environment or, optionally, a selected portion of it. The
OBEYFORM file represents a "snapshot" of the system as it exists at the time the file is
produced.
These steps illustrate how to use OBEYFORM to capture a complete system
configuration:
1. Create an EDIT file that contains a set of INFO commands specifying the
OBEYFORM option.
Each individual INFO command captures a distinct portion of the overall
configuration (the PATHMON process, PATHWAY object, SERVERS, TCPs, and
so forth) in the destination command file.
For example, the second INFO command in this group captures the configuration
information for the PATHWAY object and writes that information to the startup file
