WRITECONF
WRITECONF
Writes data to individual fields of the current path in the configuration
file.
Syntax WRITECONF fieldname, data
Parameters fieldname The field name associated with the current path.
data The data to be written to the field. If the data contains
embedded blanks, it must be enclosed in double quotes
(“ ”).
Description WRITECONF writes data to an internal buffer that initially contains
the data associated with the current page of the current path in the
configuration file. The file is updated when the UPDATECONF command
is performed.
The CARDCONF command (used to set the current card values) must be
specified before a PATHCONF command for any DTC card screen.
Once these commands are specified, the WRITECONF and UPDATECONF
commands can be performed.
Example To update the value of field 1 for the current path:
NMMGR> OPENCONF NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
(Opens the configuration file.)
NMMGR> VERSIONCONF V.uu.ff
(Checks the version number of NMMGR.)
NMMGR> PATHCONF NODENAME
(Sets the path to the screen.)
NMMGR> WRITECONF NODENAME, “MY.LOCAL.NODE”
(Enters the data into the field.)
NMMGR> UPDATECONF
(Updates the configuration file.)
