Using NMMGR Utility Screens
Configuration Subtree Copy Screen
The source file is the name of the file that the data will be copied from.
If you are copying a subtree from the current configuration file to
another location within the same file, you can leave both the Source file
and the Destination file fields blank.
The source path specifies the path name of the topmost screen in the
subtree that you want to copy. All screens below the top screen will be
copied.
The destination file is the name of the file that data will be copied to.
This can be the same file that you are copying from, which provides a
convenient way to configure two links that are very similar. After
configuring the first link, you can simply copy all the screens in the
link’s configuration and modify the new link configuration as needed.
The destination path specifies the point in the destination file below
which the copied screens will be added.
Fields Source file This field contains the name of the file that
configuration data will be copied from. If left blank, the
current configuration file is assumed.
If the file is on a remote node, you must use a file
equation and prefix the file name with an asterisk (*).
You may use an MPE command from the command
window to set a file equation without having to leave
NMMGR.
Source path (Required field.) The source path contains the path
name associated with the topmost screen in the subtree
being copied. The field is composed of eight NMMGR
path identifier slots. Enter one path identifier in each
slot, leaving blanks at the end of each identifier. Leave
any unused identifier slots empty. For example, the
source path “NETXPORT.NI.LAN1.INTERNET” would
be entered as:
NETXPORT.NI .LAN1 .INTERNET. . . .
Destination
file This field contains the name of the file the
configuration data will be copied to. If this field is left
blank, the current configuration file is assumed.
If the file is on a remote node, you must use a file
equation and prefix the file name with an asterisk (*).
Destination
path Like the source path, the destination path is composed
of eight path identifiers. You need to enter only those
identifiers that are different from the source path. To
copy data from the source file to the identical location
in the destination file, leave this field blank. If, for
