Capturing a Configuration
named NEWCONF. Notice that an asterisk (*) is used in the last four commands
to indicate all SERVER objects in the set.
INFO /OUT NEWCONF/ PATHMON , OBEYFORM
INFO /OUT NEWCONF/ PATHWAY , OBEYFORM
INFO /OUT NEWCONF/ SERVER *, OBEYFORM
2. Purge any existing file of the same name as your destination command file, or
rename that file, by entering the PURGE or RENAME TACL commands.
This step prevents OBEYFORM from appending new information to a file that
already contains obsolete information. For example, to purge the file named
NEWCONF, enter:
6> PURGE NEWCONF
To rename the file named NEWCONF to OLDCONF, enter:
7> RENAME NEWCONF, OLDCONF
3. Produce the OBEYFORM file. To do this, enter a PATHCOM OBEY command,
specifying as input the EDIT file described in Step 1. For example, if you had
named the EDIT file INFOCOM, you would enter:
= OBEY INFOCOM
This OBEY command executes the INFO commands contained in the EDIT file.
With the OBEYFORM option, an INFO command generates configuration
information in the form of RESET, SET, and ADD commands that can be executed
by PATHCOM.
4. Shut down your PATHMON environment, using the SHUTDOWN2 command as
explained in Shutting Down a PATHMON Environment on page 2-13.
5. Alter any object attribute in the OBEYFORM file to conform to your requirements.
6. Add the START PATHWAY command to the command file, just after the last SET
PATHWAY command. OBEYFORM does not automatically write the START
PATHWAY command to its destination file, so you must include it before using this
file to start a PATHMON environment. For example, in this command file, you
would insert START PATHWAY COLD! in the location indicated:
.
.
SET PATHWAY MAXTMFRESTARTS 5
SET PATHWAY OWNER \QATST.8,21
SET PATHWAY SECURITY "N"
START PATHWAY COLD! <----(Required for COLDSTART)
.
.
7. Execute the commands in the command file by entering the OBEY command,
specifying the command file as input. As PATHCOM executes these commands, it
