Configuring DTCs Step-by-Step
Modify the Network Management Configuration File
Chapter 3

You can create or modify a configuration file using a different name
and save it as an offline configuration file. You can use offline
configuration files as a means of creating and storing configurations
that you want to use in the future. When you are ready to use an offline
configuration file, rename it as NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, validate within
NMMGR (SYSGEN cross-validation is done automatically within
NMMGR). Use DTCCNTRL to shutdown and restart DTS or reboot the
system.
Backup configuration file name A backup file name must be specified whenever a
configuration file is opened or created. The default backup
configuration file name is NMCBACK.PUB.SYS. The backup file will be
automatically updated with the contents of the configuration file each
time the configuration file is successfully validated.
Network directory file name The Network directory file must be configured for each
new X.25 node (unless you will only be accessing the node using direct
level 3 access). This field is only used for X.25 network management.
The network directory contains information that one X.25 node needs
in order to communicate with other X.25 nodes. The only network
directory file name supported by HP is NSDIR.NET.SYS.
Write access password The password is an optional feature. If a password has been
assigned, you must enter it in the password field to update the
configuration file. It is possible to open the file without using an
assigned password, but the file will be in read only mode and NMMGR
will not accept any changes.
If a password has not been assigned, you should ignore the password
field. If you want to assign a password for the system you are
configuring, refer to Using the Node Management Services (NMS)
Utilities manual.
