Chapter 4

Using the System Generator (SYSGEN)

Using First-Level (Global Module) Commands

The first-level commands, displayed after entering SYSGEN, allow you to activate one of the four

configurators (I/O, LOG, MISC, SYSFILE) or to keep, show, or clear changes made from the configurators. In

addition, you can use first-level commands to call the SYSGEN help facility, alter basegroups, store

configuration changes to tape, or exit the SYSGEN utility. Table 4-1 describes the commands and their

actions:
