Using NMMGR Utility Screens
Validate Configuration File Screen
to help you pinpoint invalid items. One possible message, for instance,
states that a phone number has not been configured for a dial-type link
in your NS configuration.
When you press one of the validation function keys, you enter character
mode. Any validation error messages are listed at your terminal. If you
want the error message listing to be sent to a device in addition to your
terminal, enter a Y in the box next to “Output to line printer or
FORMLIST in addition to terminal” on the Validate Configuration File
screen. You can have the listing sent to disk or a printer by setting a file
equation or you can have it routed to the default device, which is
$STDLIST.
After viewing the validation messages, if any, press
[RETURN] to return to
the Validate Configuration File screen. The message in the message
line of the screen tells you if the validation process completed and, if so,
whether the configuration is valid. You must see the following message
to be sure that your configuration file is valid:
Validation completed; configuration of the selected subsystem is valid.
When validated, the contents of the configuration are automatically
copied to thge backup file specified on the open screen.
If a message other than the one above appears, refer to the MPE/iX
Error Messages Manual (for DTS errors) or to the manual that contains
error messages for the subsystem you are configuring or the
Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers and Other Serial Devices
Manual for DTS errors. If you encounter errors that you cannot resolve,
notify your HP representative.
