2.1 Subsystem Attributes

To add the contents of this stanza ﬁle to the system conﬁguration table, enter the

following commands:

$ TCPIP

TCPIP> sysconfigdb -a -f table_mgr.stanza table_mgr_1

TCPIP> sysconfigdb -a -f table_mgr.stanza tbl_mgr_2

This example does not change the value of attributes on the running system.

For information about changing attribute values on the running system, see

Section 2.1.2.1.

For complete information about using the

sysconfigdb

command, refer to

Appendix A.

2.1.3.2 Stanza File Format

The syntax for a stanza ﬁle entry is as follows:

entry-name:

Attribute1-name = Attribute1-value

Attribute2-name = Attribute2-value

Attribute3-name = Attribute3-value1, Attribute3-value2

The entry-name variable speciﬁes the subsystem name.

The attributes for the subsystem are speciﬁed with the Attribute1-name,

Attribute2-name, and Attribute3-name variables.

The values for the attributes are speciﬁed with the Attribute1-value, Attribute2-

value, Attribute3-value1, and Attribute3-value2 variables.

The stanza ﬁle syntax rules are as follows:

• Separate entries by one or more blank lines.

• A colon (:) terminates an entry name.

• A new line terminates an attribute name and value pair.

• Separate a attribute name and attribute value with an equals sign (=).

• Separate more than one attribute value with a comma (,).

• Entry names and attribute names can contain any printable character

except spaces, new lines, and special characters, which must be speciﬁed

appropriately.

• Entry attribute values can contain any printable character except new lines

and special characters, which must be speciﬁed appropriately.

• Spaces and tabs are allowed at the beginning and at the end of lines.

• A pound sign (#) at the beginning of a line indicates a comment.

• Comments should be included only at the beginning or the end of an entry.

Several special quoting characters allow attribute values to contain special

values and data representations. If you specify a quoting character, surround the

attribute value with quotation marks. For example, to specify an octal value, use

the backslash character:

\007
