Using the Conversion Program
Using the Conversion Program
You need to convert files if you open an existing configuration file while
using NMMGR and receive this message:
Version mismatch found on specified subsystem. Please
run NMMGRVER. (NMGRERR 53)
You also need to convert files if you are performing NETCONTROL and
receive the following class 2 logging message at the console:
Bad CONFIG File Version
NMMGRVER will create backup copies of your configuration files for
you, and will name them NMBACKA, NMBACKB, NMBACKC, and so on.
Therefore, you can go back to a source file if necessary.
The following three subsections describe the different conversion
scenarios, which are:
• Converting a file from the previous version of MPE XL to the current
version of MPE/iX.
• Converting a file from MPE/V to the current version of MPE/iX.
• Combining the above two conversions for the purpose of merging
MPE/V X.25 (V-delta 3 or later) information with previous versions
of MPE/iX for use with the current version of MPE/iX.
NOTE If you are converting files from MPE/V to MPE/iX, you must first
transport the files to a system running MPE/iX and this version of
NMMGRVER.
Converting From the Previous MPE XL Version to
the Current MPE/iX Version
Step 1. Execute NMMGRVER by entering:
:RUN NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS
After displaying a banner, the system prompts you for the name of the
configuration file to be converted.
Fileset to be scanned?
Step 2. Enter one of the following filesets, or press the
[RETURN] key to end the
conversion program.
filename[.groupname[.acctname]]
file prefix@[.groupname[.acctname]]
@[.groupname[.acctname]]
