[;VAL=val_method] (Optional)
Values: BASIC (B), EXISTENCE (E), CHECKSUM (C)
Default: BASIC (see also SETDEFAULT)
This parameter describes which technique will be used to determine if a particular file is valid at validation
time (see VALIDATE). All files in a staging area must be considered valid before HP Stage/iX will consider the
staging area valid.
BASIC — Basic validation should be performed on this file. This includes insuring that the file exists in
the staging area, and that the disk space restrictions match what they should be.
EXISTENCE — The file that the staged file corresponds to must exist in the Base.
CHECKSUM — The computed checksum for the file corresponding to the final target file name must be in
the array of acceptable checksums (see: validation_info parameter).
The CHECKSUM option is not currently supported.
[;VALINFO="val_info"] (Optional)
This parameter is not currently supported.
[;LIFTYPE=lif_type] (Optional)
Values: NONE, BOOT, IPL, DATA, AUTOF
Default: NONE (see also SETDEFAULT)
Determines whether or not the file belongs in the system LIF Directory, and if so, what file type it should be
placed in the directory as.
[;OWNER="owner_name"] (Optional)
Default: “MANAGER.SYS”
The owner name that should be assigned to the staged file.
[;FILEGROUP=] (Optional)
Values: LDEV1,
SLT, OTHER
Default: OTHER
Determines at what point in the start process the file actually gets switched (renamed) to its natural location.
There are currently three supported switching “windows”:
LDEV1—The file must be switched as early as possible in the start process because the correct version is
needed early on (an example is SL.PUB.SYS). The file therefore must reside entirely on LDEV 1.
SLT—This is the normal file group for most of the files found on the System Load Tape. Files in this group
are switched ahead of files in the OTHER group.
OTHER—This is the default file group. Files here are switched after the system is almost completely up
and running.
Example
STAGEMAN$ SETDEFAULT
START.MPEXL.SYS;disk=C;disp=R;val=E;onerr=W
STAGEMAN$ SETD
USERFILE.PUB.SYS;disk=LDEV1;disp=ADD;val=B;onerr=IGNORE
