10. Save a backup copy of your NMCONFIG file.
11. Run NMMGRVER to update the NMCONFIG file to the version for these patches.
12. If your configuration is currently PC-Based, then complete the tasks in step 12a. If
your configuration is Host-Based, complete the tasks in step 12b.
a. Run NMMGR and make the following configuration changes:
• Make sure only those DTC that you wish to migrate to the host-based
configuration are configured. DELETE any that should not be migrated.
• Perform any of the configurations changes that are needed to account for the
conditions described in the section “Your Host’s Configuration is Currently
PC-Based”.
• Execute Validate/DTS to ensure that there are no validation errors.
• Go to the NMMGR Main screen and configure:
Are you using OpenView DTC Manager? [N]
If any DTCs on the OpenView DTCMgr PC have or if you plan to use any of
the host-based DTCs for X.25 system-to-system or PAD connections then
configure:
Do you have X.25 system-to-system or PAD connections? [Y]
b. Run NMMGR and make the following configuration changes:
• Make sure only those DTC that you wish to remain in the host-based
configuration are configured. DELETE any that should not be retained.
• Perform any of the configurations changes that are needed to account for the
conditions described in the section “Your Host’s Configuration is Currently
Host-Based”.
13. On the Host-based DTS Configuration screen enter a valid profile name for the
non-nailed TIO and PAD port profiles. Enter the number of non-nailed ldevs desired.
Enter valid entries for the Link fields (Link name, Link Type, Physical path of
LANIC).
• Validate the configuration with Validate/DTS and ensure that there are no
validation errors. Exit NMMGR.
14. Use the file created on the PC to create the new Host-Based DTC configuration:
:file nmmgrcmd=<MPE filename>
Where <MPE filename> is the file transferred from the PC. The command file will
perform the configuration changes on NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
Run NMMGR with one of the following commands:
:NMMGR
Or to capture the output in a file:
:NMMGR >NMMGROUT
NMMGR will run and execute the commands in the file.
15. When NMMGR finishes, review the results and ensure that no errors occurred other
than the following allowed messages:
