DCC WARNING P-L, NMCONFIG is previous version. Run NMMGRVER. (DCCWARN 52)
The DTS configuration created is identical to what was created prior to the update.
• In NMMGR, if you attempt to display the DTS configuration before running NMMGRVER, a screen states
that the DTS subsystem has been updated. From this screen you can launch NMMGRVER to perform the
conversion of the NMCONFIG file without exiting NMMGR.
• You use the version of NMMGRVER installed with this relase to update the NMCONFIG file to the latest
format and then perform a DTS Shutdown and Restart.
•After using NMMGRVER to migrate the configuration file to the latest format, DTS Dynamic Configuration
will be disabled until a DTS Shutdown and Restart or system reboot is performed.
The PC and Host Migration Tools
The New Host-Based DTC Management release contains two tools that allows you to migrate a majority of
your DTC’s configurations from the OVDTCMgr workstation and the PC-Based NMMGR configuration on the
host to the new Host-based DTC Management in the NMCONFIG file.
Before you perform the migration, you should read the section”Configuration Issues to Consider Before
Migrating” in the updated Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links manual. Review your
configuration on the OVDTCMgr platform and any HP e3000 hosts that use those DTCs to determine if there
are any configuration changes that you can make to help the process go smoothly. It is likely that you will
need to perform some manual changes to the resulting configuration file to create a valid DTS configuration
and to reapply your DTC port profile customizations.
These tools and the process for migrating your configuration are fully documented in the updated release of
the Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links manual.
The PC Migration Tool
A PC Migration tool has been created that allows you to migrate your DTC’s configuration from the
OVDTCMgr PC platform to the NMCONFIG file on the HP e3000 host. This tool is incorporated into a patch to
the OVDTCMgr. The PC Migration tool is accessed from a new command that has been added to the Manage
Multiple DTCs Tool menu.
The OVDTCMgr patch is available as part of this Release 7.5 PowerPatch 2 installation. The patch consists of
the following two files:
• READHD45.DTS0000.TELESUP
• EXEHD45A.DTS0000.TELESUP
The full instructions for installing this patch on the OVDTCMgr PC is contained in the READHD45 file.
This tool runs on the PC and creates a text file that contains the NMMGR commands necessary to create an
equivalent configuration in the NMCONFIG configuration file of the DTCs that are selected on the PC. The text
file that is created is copied to the HP e3000 and read by NMMGR to make the configuration changes to the
NMCONFIG file.
The Host Migration Tool
A Host Migration tool has been incorporated into NMMGRVER that merges the configurations of the DTCs in the
PC-Based configuration of the NMCONFIG file into the Host-based configuration. This tool is designed to work
with the PC Migration tool to create as complete a configuration as possible.
The Host Migration tool can be accessed in two equivalent ways: by running NMMGRVER with the following
command parameters:
