Backing Up the System Configuration
Running SYSGEN
Running SYSGEN
To run the SYSGEN utility, enter the following:
:SYSGEN
basegroup,newgroup,inputfile,outputfile
All of the parameters are optional.
The
basegroup
parameter is the group in the account SYS that contains the configuration
data you use or alter. The default is CONFIG.SYS (or the group specified at system startup).
If you specify a group that does not exist, an error occurs. You can change the base group
within SYSGEN using the BASEGROUP command. Refer to System Startup, Configuration,
and Shutdown Reference Manual for additional information.
The
newgroup
parameter is the group to which you will store your data. If you do not
specify this parameter, SYSGEN stores the changes to the base group. If the group you
specify already exists, SYSGEN asks you whether you actually want the configuration
data written to that group. To override
newgroup
, specify an alternate group with the
SYSGEN KEEP command.
The
inputfile
parameter is the actual file designator of the file for command input. The
formal file designator is SYSGIN. The default is $STDIN. Use a file equation to change the
command input file.
The
outputfile
is the actual file designator of the file for output requests. The formal file
designator is SYSGOUT. The default is $STDLIST. Use a file equation to redirect output.
For example, to change input to a command input file and redirect output to the line
printer, enter:
:FILE SYSGIN=NEWIN
:FILE NEWOUT;DEV=LP
:SYSGEN,MYGROUP,*NEWIN,*NEWOUT
When you run SYSGEN, you receive a list of SYSGEN first-level commands:
