Using the Conversion Program
@@.@[.acctname]
@@.@.@
NOTE When converting from an earlier release of MPE XL to the current
version of MPE/iX, the configuration file can have any valid MPE file
name. If you have used another name instead of NMCONFIG, NMMGRVER
will use that name as the final name for your conversion file. For
example, if your configuration file is called MYCONFIG, NMMGRVER will
convert it and save it under the same name, overwriting the original
MYCONFIG. When the conversion is finished, you must rename or purge
the existing NMCONFIG and then rename MYCONFIG to NMCONFIG,
replacing the old NMCONFIG.
Step 3. NMMGRVER searches for files of type NCONF in the specified fileset.
For each file found, it asks:
OK to convert filename.groupname.acctname?
where filename.groupname.acctname is the name of a
configuration file. Enter Y for yes or either N or
[RETURN] for no.
Step 4. NMMGRVER checks the configuration file to determine whether it is
an MPE/V or an MPE/iX configuration file. If it is an MPE/iX file the
conversion proceeds without further user input.
After each file is converted NMMGRVER will display the following
message:
Conversion Completed Successfully (NMMGRVERMSG 0)
Step 5. Continue to enter either Y, N, or
[RETURN] until you have converted all
files.
Step 6. Run NMMGR and modify any of the configuration files, as needed.
Converting From MPE/V to MPE/iX
Step 1. Follow the instructions in steps one through four of the “Converting
From the Previous MPE XL Version to the Current MPE/iX Version”
subsection, then continue below.
Step 2. If the file is an MPE/V file, NMMGRVER prompts you for the type of
MPE/V file you are converting, as follows:
What is the type of this file?
1) MPE V NSCONF
2) MPE V NMCONFIG
3) skip this file
Enter a value between 1 and 3.
