Holding and Saving Configuration Changes
Using the MISC configurator commands described in the previous sections changes the configuration
specified in the SYSGEN command line or global BASEGROUP command. These changes are temporary and are
lost if not properly saved.
Saving configuration changes is a two-step procedure. After you alter a configuration, you must first hold the
changes before exiting the configurator. Second, use the global module KEEP command to save the changes.
To hold changes, enter the HOLD command at the MISC configurator prompt:
misc>HOLD
You can work in a SYSGEN configurator, hold the changes, and continue working in other SYSGEN
configurators before saving the changes.
To save the changes, first hold all desired changes, exit to SYSGEN’s global module, and issue the KEEP
command:
sysgen>KEEP newgroupname
For additional information on using the KEEP command, refer to Chapter 4, “Using the System Generator
(SYSGEN).”
