Configuration Subtree Copy Screen
example, you wish to change the fifth path identifier,
then the fifth slot in the destination path should
contain data. Only those parts of the path name that
were designated by the user can differ among
corresponding identifiers in the source and destination
paths. User-selected types must match. For example, if
the source file includes a direct connect link, the
corresponding identifier in the destination path must
also be a direct connect link.
Overwrite
existing
subtree (Required field.) This field indicates whether or not
existing data in the destination configuration file is to
be overwritten when the copy is performed. A Y will
purge all the existing data in the destination subtree
and insert the data from the source subtree; an N will
not allow the copy to continue if data exists where the
destination subtree starts. The default is N.
In this example, a subtree copy is being performed from node A to
node B. Since the copy is being made to a remote node, the user must
make a DSLINE connection to node B and set up a file equation to
represent node B’s configuration file. This is done by entering the
commands shown below:
Example
:REMOTE HELLO MGR.PUB.SYS;DSLINE=B
:FILE CONFIG=NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS;B,OLD
The source file and path on node A are entered into the source file and
Source path fields. They appear here:
Source file: [NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS]
Source path: NETXPORT.NI .LAN1 .INTERNET. . . .
The diagram in Figure 4-9 shows the subtree specified by this path.
