Host-Based DTC Management Features

Chapter 1

You can run NMMGRVER from within NMMGR to update the NMCONFIG file and continue with changes to the

DTS configuration without leaving NMMGR:

a. Run NMMGR and press the [DTS] key at the Main NMMGR screen, you will see a screen that

informs you that the DTS subsystem has been updated. Press the F1

[Do Convert]

key. This key will

launch NMMGRVER and you will see:

Utility to convert NM configuration files to be compatible with NMMGR B.07.06.

Fileset to be scanned? NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS

(Enter the file name of your NM configuration file. Then confirm the conversion.)

OK to convert NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS? Y

b. Note the dialog on the screen to verify that the conversion was successful and enter

[Return]

to return

to NMMGR.

c. Press the

[Prior Screen]

key to return to the Main NMMGR screen and then press the [

DTS]

key to

resume your DTS configuration changes.

d. Validate the NMCONFIG file and exit NMMGR.

e. Perform a DTS Shutdown and Restart in order for the configuration changes to take:

:dtccntrl func=shutdown forced=y

:dtccntrl func=restart

After you run NMMGRVER and if your system is using Host-Based Management, your data will be converted to

the equivalent configuration in the new format. If your system is currently using PC-Based Management, you

will see no changes to your configuration.

For more information on the features and behaviors of these enhancements, see the article e” Enhanced

Host-based DTC Management Functionality” in the Communicator for MPE/iX Release 7.5 Power Patch 2.
