Using the Conversion Program
Using the Conversion Program
You need to convert files if you open an existing configuration file while
using NMMGR and receive this message:
Version mismatch found on specified subsystem. Please run NMMGRVER.
(NMGRERR 53)
You also need to convert files if you are performing NETCONTROL and
receive the following class 2 logging message at the console:
Bad CONFIG File Version
NMMGRVER will create backup copies of your configuration files for
you, and will name them NMBACKA, NMBACKB, NMBACKC, and so on.
Therefore, you can go back to a source file if necessary.
Converting MPE XL to MPE/iX
Step 1. Execute NMMGRVER by entering:
:RUN NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS
After displaying a banner, the system prompts you for the name of the
configuration file to be converted.
Fileset to be scanned?
Step 2. Enter one of the following filesets, or press the [RETURN] key to end the
conversion program.
filename[.groupname[.acctname]]
file prefix@[.groupname[.acctname]]
@[.groupname[.acctname]]
@@.@[.acctname]
@@.@.@
NOTE When converting from an earlier release of MPE XL to the current
version of MPE/iX, the configuration file can have any valid MPE file
name. If you have used another name instead of NMCONFIG, NMMGRVER
will use that name as the final name for your conversion file. For
example, if your configuration file is called MYCONFIG, NMMGRVER will
convert it and save it under the same name, overwriting the original
MYCONFIG. When the conversion is finished, you must rename or purge
the existing NMCONFIG and then rename MYCONFIG to NMCONFIG,
replacing the old NMCONFIG.
Step 3. NMMGRVER searches for files of type NCONF in the specified fileset. For
each file found, it asks:
OK to convert
filename . groupname.acctnam e?
