COPYCONF

Copies a conﬁguration subtree.

Syntax

COPYCONF srcpath[:srcfile][,[destpath][:destfile]] [;KEEP][;NOVERS]

Parameters

srcpath The name of a conﬁguration path in the source ﬁle that

describes the location of the subtree to copy (source

path). It is composed of one to eight path identiﬁers

separated by periods:

pathid.pathid.pathid...

srcfile The name of an NMMGR conﬁguration ﬁle (NCONF

ﬁle) that contains the subtree to be copied (source ﬁle).

The format is:

filename[.groupname[.accountname]]

A ﬁle lockword may not be speciﬁed. A ﬁle equation

may be employed through explicit use of the

back-reference:

*DESIGNATOR

destpath The name of the path that describes where the subtree

is to be placed in the destination ﬁle (destination path),

in the same format as srcpath. Select and type-select

path identiﬁers may be changed from the

corresponding identiﬁer in srcpath as long as the new

identiﬁer is type-compatible. If this parameter is not

speciﬁed, the destination path is assumed to be the

same as the path speciﬁed in srcpath.

destfile The name of an NMMGR conﬁguration ﬁle that is to

receive the copied data (destination ﬁle). The format is

the same as srcfile. This ﬁle name may be the same

as that speciﬁed in srcfile, which allows you to copy

data from one location within a ﬁle to another location

in the same ﬁle. If this parameter is not speciﬁed, the

destination ﬁle is assumed to be the same as the source

ﬁle.

KEEP Designates that if the destpath already exists in

destfile, the operation will not be performed. The

default (when KEEP is not speciﬁed) is to replace the

destination subtree with the source path.

NOVERS Designates that no version check will be performed on

the source or destination paths. The default is to

perform version checks.
