other than LDEV 1. These ﬁles reside in the SYS account and can be

displayed by entering the SHOW command in the SY conﬁgurator of the

SYSGEN utility.

Also, do not purge or put a lockword on these ﬁles. Finally, do not use any

command other than SYSGEN to manage the ﬁles within a conﬁguration

group. These conﬁguration ﬁles come as a set and individual ﬁles may not be

moved between groups or systems. Such actions will make these system ﬁles

inaccessible causing problems either immediately or at a later time.

Specifying Files in a STORE Command

The ﬁles that you are allowed to store depend on your capability. In general, you may only

store ﬁles that you have read access to. If you are a system manager, system supervisor, or

system operator, you can store any ﬁle in the system.

The following section describes how you specify which ﬁles you want to be stored. The

entire set of ﬁles to be stored is known as a ﬁleset list.

The ﬁleset list is the ﬁrst argument to the store command. If no ﬁles are speciﬁed, the

default set is all ﬁles in your current working directory, or "@". This is the default no

matter what capabilities you may have.

If an empty ﬁleset list is speciﬁed, and the DIRECTORY option is used, the

default set is empty. This allows a system administrator to create a backup

containing just the system accounting structures, without storing any ﬁles.

2. If a ﬁleset list is not speciﬁed, a semi-colon (;) place holder must be used instead. For

example:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:STORE ;*T

If a ﬁleset list is speciﬁed, it must follow certain guidelines. The list is made up of comma

separated ﬁleset items. Each item can be either a ﬁleset or an indirect ﬁle.

Filesets

A ﬁleset speciﬁes a group of ﬁles to be stored. It can also include an exclusion set, which is

a group of ﬁles to be excluded from the STORE operation.

The syntax for a ﬁleset is:

filestostore[ - ﬁlestoexclude [ - .... ] ]

Where filestore represents a ﬁleset and filestoexclude represents an exclusion

ﬁleset.

The filestostore and filestoexclude are speciﬁed using the same syntax. Any ﬁle that
