10. Save a backup copy of your NMCONFIG file.
11. Run NMMGRVER to update the NMCONFIG file to the version for these patches.
12. Run NMMGR and make the following configuration changes:
• If your configuration is currently PC-Based, then make sure only those DTC that
you wish to migrate to the host based configuration are configured. DELETE any
that should not be migrated.
• Perform any of the configurations changes that are needed to account for the
conditions described in the section “Your Host’s Configuration is Currently
PC-Based”.
• Execute Validate/DTS to ensure that there are no validation errors.
• Go to the NMMGR Main screen and configure:
Are you using OpenView DTC Manager? [N]
If any DTCs on the OpenView DTCMgr PC have or if you plan to use any of the
host-based DTCs for X.25 system-to-system or PAD connections then configure:
Do you have X.25 system-to-system or PAD connections? [Y]
• On the DTS Host Configuration screen enter a valid profile name for the
non-nailed TIO and PAD port profiles. Enter the number of non-nailed ldevs
desired. Enter valid entries for the Link fields (Link name, Link Type, Physical
path of LANIC).
• Perform any of the configurations changes that are needed to account for the
conditions described in the section “Your Host’s Configuration is Currently
Host-Based”.
• Validate the configuration with Validate/DTS. Exit NMMGR.
13. Use the file created on the PC to create the new Host-Based DTC configuration:
:file nmmgrcmd=<MPE filename>
Where <MPE filename> is the file transferred from the PC. The command file will
perform the commands on NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
Run NMMGR with one of the following commands:
:NMMGR
Or to capture the output in a file:
:NMMGR >NMMGROUT
NMMGR will run and execute the commands in the file.
14. When NMMGR finishes, review the results and ensure that no errors occurred other
than the following allowed messages:
:SAVE NMMGROUT
:RESET NMMGRCMD
Item already exists. (NMGRERR 21)
The source path was not found. (NMGRERR 280)
15. .Run NMMGRVER with the special parm that will launch the Host Migration tool:
:run NMMGRVER;PARM=77
